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


Our Toro 1800 was purchased from Amazon.com in December '07 after accepting the fact that our 30 yr. old Toro gas snowblower had finally outlived its usefullness.

I wanted something that wasn't finicky and that I could easily operate (just plug it in and roll)and this baby fits the bill to a T!

I just moved 6+ inches of a medium-density Illinois snow off my approx. 3000SF driveway in 1 hr.! That time was unheard of with our former machine. The 1800 had plenty of power to tackle snow as tall as the squirrel cage and even handled the plow "wall" effortlessly.

It stores easily and is ready for the next storm...and so am I. No longer are snowstorms a thing of dread when clearing our challenging site, which consists of an uphill drive with a curve thrown in for fun.

The price was a lot more reasonable than I thought possible to replace our old heavy, tempermental machine and I wish I had purchased this model years ago.

Toro, you did a great job on this and I appreciate the ease and comfortable operation. Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

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


My husband and I fought over between getting an electric snowthrower or a gas powered one for many years. For me, a petite woman, handling a gas powered snowthrower just wasn't an option- they are too big and heavy for me to operate. My husband wanted the power of a gas powered machine. This winter, he finally gave in and bought this Toro electric snowthrower. It had enough power for what he wanted, and it was light enough for me to handle.

What a mistake! We have a 50-foot long flat driveway that we thought would be a breeze to use the Toro on. The first time we used it, we had a bit of a learning curve due to the extension cord. It does take a little time to get used to. It's like using a vacuum cleaner, only outside. It worked well. One tip: spray the snow chute with Pam or some other non-stick cooking spray before you use it. Wet snow won't stick to it, and you'll have far less clogging problems!

We used it a total of three times within 2 months before it broke. The motor worked, but the plastic part that rotates the snow no longer turned. We took it to the closest repair shop (an hour away!), and they refastened the fan belt. When we got home, we tried it on a 1" deep area of light snow, and the fan belt came off again.

We took it back to the repair shop, and they said that a bolt that holds the wheel that turns the fan belt had come off. They refastened it and claimed that it was fixed. When we got home, we tried it on another 1" deep area of snow. It worked for five minutes, then the plastic part that rotates the snow stopped turning again!

We have to take it back for a THIRD time for repair, but we are expecting that the repair shop will simply send it back to the manufacturer for replacement.

This product is simply not up for clearing out even light snow. I've told my husband that we should get a gas-powered snowthrower now- this snowthrower is simply too unreliable. We feel like we've wasted our money on this. Don't waste yours!Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

We have used the snowblower about five times and am thrilled with it. It's easy to use, and you turn it on and it goes. I highly recommend it. After a snowblower that was difficult to start and fooling around with gas, to me it's the way to go.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

Positive- it works every time, it's inexpensive, and it's durable.

Negative- cord gets in the way a LOT; if you're in a windy area, you should probably get something with more power; and, I wish there was a way to rotate the thrower chute without having to bend so far over each time.

Overall, good product, works as advertised, and lets me laugh at my neighbors who can't start their gas snowblowers!Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

Love it.........have had the chance to use way too many times this season! I wish it was a rechargeable electric unit........as the cord is a problem and the machine is so wonderful it takes away from the joy of using it. Does the sidewalk and driveway in minutes and when it is -20, that is a REAL JOY !Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

I love my Toro snow blower! Easy to get around and it really blows the snow 10 to 20 feet! It depends how wet the snow is! No gas and oil to mess with! This little wonder works better than the monster snow blower my neighbor has! If I get a big drift I put it on top(its only weighs about 25 pounds)and rock it back and forth and it eats away at it! For the extension cord I bought the Wonder Winder Hand Crank Extension Cord Reel here at Amazon! ITs a great combination! Also use a cold weather extension cord a regular cord will get stiff and twisted! Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

I really like this product. I bought it in the fall in anticipation of winter and it hasn't snowed yet! I thought I was buying a snow thrower and got something even better - a snow repeller! Seriously, the product arrived promptly and was easy to assemble. It is lightweight and easy o use. Though I haven't had to use it yet this winter, I bought it because a friend has one and it works great. I am looking forward to the next snowfall.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
