I bought this at the start of last winter season. I had a bout of severe lower back pain. Even though I felt better by the winter last year, I wanted to buy a snow blower to respect my weaker back. When I compared many gas ones and a few electric ones, I settled on this one. This one seemed a better balance between feather light-s and huge monsters. I made the right choice. It is light enough to be handled by almost anybody and still gets the job done. Although it serves my purpose I don't see this being useful for those who live up north, Minneapolis or Canada.
Pros:
- lightweight
- easy start
- easy store
- no maintenance
- reliable
Cons:
- have to deal with power cord; the power cord somewhat limits your mobility. I usually make a straight line to end of the driveway putting all of the power cord on one side of the grass. Then I try to work my way up in horizontal lines.
- When sometimes my neighbor cleans my sidewalk, I couldn't return the favor since my 100ft cable wouldn't reach his sidewalk :(
- the side effect of a lighter machine is it slides all over. Most of the time you would have to keep it in position with two hands otherwise it would slide all over with the slippery snow.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
