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


I live in Lake Tahoe, CA where our snowfall is regularly measured in feet not inches, so I wouldn't even think of using this on our driveway. We bought this to help us clear smaller areas and it is very useful for that purpose. We keep this on our 2nd floor deck and use it to clear this large deck when it's snowed 10-12 inches or less. More than that and it's hard to clear as the snow falls up and over the top of the machine when it's pushed. It does this job quite well. I am very pleased that it's light enough that I can carry it from the 2nd to the 3rd story deck up a spiral staircase to do the upper deck. It serves the purpose that we bought it for, has survived many Sierra snowstorms and is portable. It's not perfect (wheels are not helpful, would like to throw snow higher than chute will allow), doesn't work well on compacted snow and icy snow, and is not for heavy duty snow removal. If you have appropriate expectations though, it should serve those quite well, especially for the price. I would not have wanted to shovel all the snow that this thing has removed for me, making a worthy investment.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
