Where To Buy Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025


I am a person who does much research before I make a large purchase...and I also go to numerous sites to find the best deal!!! The reviews on this products was amazing...especially because there were men who also were very pleased. I have only had to use it twice so far, but I am so pleased with it's performance and how lightweight it is. My biggest concern was my driveway is over 200ft to the street. Well I used 5 outdoor extention cords and had absolutely not a problem. Yes, I have two 100ft cords but there were temporarily being used and I didn't want to fuss with exchanging cords because they were buried under an ice storm we had. The only problem I had was one of my connections with the 5 cords would seperate when I tugged a little and I had to walk 100ft back to plug in again!!! MY own stupidity...duck tape would had done the trick! LOL! This is the ticket for any single woman or any man that doesn't have an ego issue!!! I can't stand the smell of gas operated throwers/blowers and then having to deal with the oil and other maintainance...not worth it to me...I'll put up with having to move the cord around vs the other. Toro will need to make a "Tim Allen", a mans, man, electric thrower!!! lol! Best to all!!!

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


The Toro 1800 electric snow thrower delivers as promised. It performed in wet compact snow. I have a full three car driveway and it easily threw a wet 4 inch snow 20 t0 30 feet. I especially like the ability to just release the handle and stop the machine and then easily resume operation by squeezing the handle. I found it works best to work across the driveway and not up and down. Keep the cord always on the garage side and work towards the street. So far so good.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

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


I was skeptical that a small electric could keep up with our northern snowfalls, but I was tired of changing the oil, gassing up, pushing until exhausted, and that irritating thin layer left by my two stage gas thrower. I bought the Toro 1800 and a specialized exterior 100 foot cord with it. I have been surprisingly impressed with this little machine.

It's lightweight, and even my retired father with a bad back can lift it with one arm. It's powerful; it grinds and throws hard-packed snow, wet snow, and even smaller ice/snow mixes. It's quiet, about as loud as a quiet blowdryer. It's mobile, turning quickly and easily. It took a few times to get used to having an electric cord, but I have adjusted pretty easily. The thrower chute rotates pretty easily.

Only a few minor gripes (aren't there always a few?). The tiny nuts and bolts on the chute came off in the snow, so I went out and bought some stronger ones and installed them. The chute turning handle could be a little higher, as I have to lean over to turn it each time. (Not very difficult but it could be a problem for someone with poor flexibility or back problems if it's necessary to turn it a lot.)

Overall, I definitely would buy this little miracle worker again. It finishes my large driveway in 25 minutes, whereas my HUGE two stage took a good 45-50 minutes; that's even in deep snow. I am going to buy one for my dad, too. I am very happy with this machine. And although it sounds bizarre, I look forward to tossing the snow around with it. I am a very picky purchaser and do my research thoroughly before buying, and I strongly recommend this Toro. Happy snowthrowing.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

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


Bought this Toro at Home Depot yesterday in anticipation of 8 inches last night. I pulled it out this morning, plugged it in, and went to work. It went through the 9 inches very well for such a light machine. I know now to start in the middle of the driveway and work toward the edges and the blowing snow was catching the wind and covering up the row I had just done. All in all, well worth the $300. No more shoveling!!

One other thing. The manual recommends if using a 100 foot cord or over, go with a 16 guage cord. I see Amazon is offering the "buy together with" and it shows a 100 foot, 14 guage cord. If you're using over 150 feet, then 14 gauge is ok.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

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


Does pretty good job. I have a medium to small driveway and it takes less than an hour to clear it. The downside is the hole that blows the snow out can become clogged with snow especially more wet snow and you need to stop to clean it out occassionally.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

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


Glad to report that this snowblower met the expectations I had after reading other folks' reviews! With us getting snow almost every other day, this whole Wisconsin December, we're so glad we got this (after 20 years of shoveling our 800 sq. foot apron/driveway!). It's small and light enough for me (4'11") to lift and position effortlessly, yet clears the driveway down to the cement with ease, even after a 6 - 7" snowfall. It handles (and sounds) like a vaccuum cleaner! No gas/oil mix, no priming, no worries -- just plug it in. The cord is not a problem to work around. I recommend the blue Coleman 100' cord since it stays flexible in the cold.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
