I bought this snow thrower a few weeks ago and had the "chance" to use it 5 times already. The first time I used it, I had 2 inches of light powder. I was impressed right away by this little machine. It was cleaning up my concrete driveway perfectly and was throwing the snow the 20-30 feet advertised. It still did a good job on wet heavy snow where it was throwing about 10 to 15 feet. The last time I used it, I waited for more accumulation... 5 inches of powder. One pass walking a little slower pace and the driveway was clean.
I was skeptical... even after I bought it. I relied on the many great reviews it received. My driveways are huge ( I needed 100 ft extension cord) and I could have justified a bigger machine (and more expensive $2000). I went and looked at them. The reason I bought this Toro is that my 2 driveways are separated by stairs... about 30 steps. So a bigger machine would have had to be loaded on the back of the pick-up and driven around... Not something I was looking forward to. I also wanted my Wife to be able to use it if needed. Well, the Toro at 25 lbs is a breeze to move. I just carry it up and down the stairs. The only recommendation would be to buy an extension cord rated for cold temperature. It just make the job easier as the cord is easier to handle. It still takes couples tries to figure out the good way to manage the cord without passing over it. But after 2 uses, it becomes an easy effortless job.
Now, for the price, it just need to last me 2 or 3 years and it will be money well spent.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
