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


my husband has back and heart problems, when the snow thrower arrived he had it ready to go in just a few hours. A couple of days after we received the thrower we also had quite a snow storm. I think it was getting to be a contest as who could get to the machine first. We love it, my husband has no trouble handling it while using the machine, in fact he can hardly wait for the next storm, I can wait!! We are able to clean clear down to the cement and throw at least 30 feet. I have recommended this machine to everyone I talk to and we know we are getting a good brand with Toro.

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


I'm a 50ish grandma with a bad back living in New England. Shoveling has gotten to be too much, but I knew I couldn't handle the weight of a gas powered snow blower.

We've had double our normal snowfall this winter, and with this snow blower, I can clean our 60 foot long, double width driveway in under an hour, and I'm not sore and exhausted when I'm done.

I read all the reviews before I bought it, and the people who complain that it has plastic blades and sometimes slips and slides because it's so lightweight are right. However, the advantage of having a machine light enough that I can handle and powerful enough to get the job done makes it worth any "disadvantages"!

It will easily handle 6-10 inches of snow at a time. As another reviewer noted, it can even handle the end of the driveway when I get plowed in if I break up the piled snow a little with a shovel first (no lifting or actual shoveling needed).

I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a lightweight machine sufficient to get the job done!Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

so far, it seems to be just what I needed. It is lightweight, and while it doesn't necessarily cut down on time (because of the cord, and having to plug amd unplug it in different outlets depending on where I am working), it certainly saves on energy! I, a middle-aged woman, can use it easily, and it does a job that is certainly comparable to what I can do with a shovel. I am defeinitely happy with my purchase so far, and love the fact that it starts easily, and I don't have to worry about having gas/oil around. My only responsibility is to pay the electric bill!Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

After several hours of shovelling this winter, and with more snow in the forecast it was time to find a better way. I had tried a neighbours Ariens gas blower, which whilst it did the job, was heavy and I try to avoid the hassle of maintaining gas powered equipment if possible.

Researching on the internet, the Toro 1800 seemed to be the best option for an electric blower. I ordered it and Amazon duly delivered 48 hours later...and just in time. This past weekend we had almost 14 inches of snow. This blower had three outings tackling 6, 4 and 4 inches. It was outstanding. It is also light enough to lift, so you can clear drifted banks in layers. I may only have about 800 sq.ft to clear, but this machine saved me about 3 hours this past weekend. I encountered no problems with the chute not staying where I put it as has been reported in some other reviews.

I only hope it is durable, but at $300 it costs less than some of my neighbours have already spent on plowing this winter. I give it five stars, because it does exactly what it claims to do - don't expect it tackle the icy road plow stuff and accept the limitations that come with using a cord. For a smallish driveway, this is the perfect blower.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

Like everyone else, I was skeptical about how well a small, electric snow thrower would really work on Cleveland, OH snow. Most of my co-workers have large, gas powered monsters and scoffed when I told them I bought this little guy. I have a new-build house with a standard new-build driveway (read: SMALL), so a huge thrower is total overkill. Plus, I have very limited space in my garage, and I don't want another large tool that doesn't get used most of the year taking up a bunch of room. This Toro fit the bill. Good price, small, lightweight, and electric. I got it Tuesday, and luckily there was about 3-4" of new snow that day. I had it out of the box and assembled in 15 mins. I took it outside and I almost felt a bit silly standing behind this little thing. But hit the handle and start plowing, and WOW what a machine! I knocked out my driveway, porch, sidewalks and my neighbor's driveway in about 30 mins. I have a 100' cord that was long enough to do both our driveways. This thing really fires the snow, and it's so light that maneuvering it is a piece of cake. It also cleans right down to the concrete no problem. I look forward to trying it out on deeper snow. Great purchase, would recommend it to anyone. I plan to store it in the basement during the off-season. Sweet!!! Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

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


Bought this item three weeks ago and have had five chances (i.e. five Boston snowfalls) to use it.

The snow falls have ranged from 3 to 16 inches and from wet/heavy to dry/light snow. This unit's snow throwing ability is nothing less than amazing. Granted, the cord is a pain until you get a routine down. That said, dealing with gas/oil has its own challenges.

The one advantage I didn't consider is that the unit is so relatively light (20+ pounds vs. 200+ pounds for gas models) you can hold it like a hedge trimmer to remove snow larger than the actual height of the device.

I expected to purchase this unit as an interim solution (Amazon Prime delivered it in one day, in time for a pending storm) but now I truly believe this unit can adequately handle what Boston winter skys have typically dispensed.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

Our landscaping guy is very erratic, when it comes to plowing us out. We got tired of this, so I ordered the Toro 1800.

My husband says this is powerful, the wheels work fine (against those who said they don't) and to give it *****.

So, now, I can just get after him to get out there and blow the snow. Our driveway was an embarassment, but it looks great now! Oh, and the free shipping and fedex delivery in 24 hrs. didn't hurt either! Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
