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

I live in Maryland, near Annapolis, and we don't usually get big snowfalls. I'm in my 40's and don't mind shoveling a small amount of snow now and again. We had a 19-inch snow in December, which I had to dig out of by hand, as my teenage help has mostly departed. I don't have much to clear, but I was left shoveling snow for 5 days in a row, because when the snowplow comes by, it pushes the snow into previously cleared spots.

Anyway, after that snow, I bought one of these units and figured I wouldn't get a chance to use it. Wrong! The Blizzard of 2010! Snowmaggedon. The "Snowpocolypse!" We got 28 inches of snow. I used my Toro to clear the sidewalk and driveway. Thank goodness I had it.

The unit performed extremely well. The snow was well above the inlet and I had to tip it to get it through the entire depth of snow. The machine rarely clogged, but when it did, was simple to unclog and keep right on going. I would cut a single line with the unit, then used my shovel to put more snow into the path to make it easier to use. I shoveled the snow down, and my wife used the Toro to fling the snow up into the yard out of our way. What a pleasure to use.

Cord management was the only downside, but compared to lifting and carrying and throwing all of the snow myself, well worth the price of the thrower. We cleared 3 times the area and just kept on going with it.

I recommend this snow thrower for those with small driveways that are within 100 feet of the house.
