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


I bought this brand new from a Toro Master Service dealer in Vermont. The second time I used it the drive belt and pulley broke. This was while working on only 3 inches of moderately heavy snow. Took it into the dealer where it now sits as he had to order the parts. DON'T BUY ONE!! You will end up wishing you had popped for a little more money and bought a decent gas-powered unit.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

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


I had a gas snow thrower once. It was more trouble than what it was worth. You had to mix the gas and oil. Then it was hard to start the first time it snowed and it stalled a lot. I thought I was going to have a heart attack just getting the thing started and that's why I bought it in the first place. It was to prevent one! Finally I sold it because it was easier just to shovel snow.
Then I saw the Toro Electric 1800 Power Curve. I read the reviews and thought I'd give it a try. I was a little concerned about the electric motor, but I had cut down two large trees in my yard with an electric chain saw with no problems ( electric chain saw is also a great improvement over a gas one!)
I bought the power curve and then waited for it to snow. We got 5 inches of snow last night and couldn't wait to use my new snow blower. I was amazed, it cleared the snow all the way down to the pavement and was blowing the snow 15 to 20 feet with ease. I watched as my neighbor's gas blower only blew the snow about 5 feet. I cleared my 50ft driveway and sidewalks in about 15 minutes. The cord wasn't really a problem. I just started at the top of my driveway and worked my way down. My neighbor came over to see what I was using and he was amazed that it worked so well.
I didn't have to much trouble with assembly. I think the carriage bolts used in the discharge chute should be metal instead of plastic, because it was hard not to strip the bolt head when trying to tighten.
All and all I think this was a great investment. I live in Ohio and we don't have that many big snow storms, so I think this product is perfect for my situation, but maybe not for yours. I love it! Just plug it in and go, then put it away.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

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


My driveway is a long 120 feet and 20 feet wide (25 at certain parts), so you can imagine there's a lot of snow to be shoveled. This thrower really does the job even for such a large driveway. It's very quick, and very quiet. No gas to fill up, no oil to change, no start-up issues during cold weather. It's hands down (assuming this thing lasts for several years) a very good snow thrower. I should also add, for those of you with large driveways, that the long cord I used, 150ft, is not a problem, as long as you make sure to work away from the outlet instead of towards it, that way nothing gets tangled. In fact, this thing is so light, yet powerful, you can do the whole driveway pushing with one hand.

One last thing, the claimed "30" ft throwing distance is under the best conditions: light snow, and wind assisted, with the deflector pointing straight. If the snow is wet, the deflector is pointing to the side, and the wind is blowing against you, you're down to a 10 foot throw, max. But it's still not bad and I'd assume the MUCH more expensive gas throwers have the same issues. You get your money's worth with this thing.

Update: Winter 2008-2009. This product is still going strong, with no issues. I had the pleasure of accidently bumping into a neighbor who was a Toro dealer a while back, and we discussed the high quality of all Toro products, which is what led me to buy this in the first place. He bought this same type of snow-thrower, except the gas powered version, and I can tell you for sure now, that throwing distance is no different in the gas powered version versus the electric one. And I stress again, no maintenance issues (oil, gas, etc...)Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
