Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025 Immediately


I have owned the toro 1800 Snow thrower for 4 years. In that time I have found it excellent for cleaning the driveway and my second story porch. In my experience, this is the perfect unit for fresh snow up to 6 to 8 inches in depth and of a powder consistency. If you attempt to use it with wet heavy snow don't expect it to go through more than 2 or 3 inches in depth. Another "gotcha" is that it's the snow freezes overnight and you attempt to plow it the next day you will have a difficult if not impossible time doing so. I attempted to go through this ice and ended up having to replace the impellor at a cost of about $75 and an hour and a half labor. For this reason I purchased a two-stage snow thrower with electric start, lights and all the bells and whistles. This is the one that I keep in the garage and use it to clear the driveway and in particular the berm that the snowplow leaves at the end of it. I have now relegated to the toro 1800 to my upstairs balcony and porch where it is always handy after a fresh snowfall.
