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


**update**
i read some of the negitive reviews..if you expect this little snow thrower to replace a 18hp gas thrower
your CRAZY..DONT EXPECT TO CLEAR A 150FT DRIVEWAY WITH 2 FT OF SNOW!!..but for sidewalks,decks and smaller driveways its PERFECT!!!!

i read all the reviews, and new it was rated 5 stars...but i didnt expect too much as it was a small electric unit...well we finally got some snow{ice}and i took it outside and instantly got laughs from my neighbors with big 4 stroke snow blowers.. i was VERY surprised when i turned it on.. and BLASTED my neighbor, about 30 feet away!!i couldnt shut it off fast enough, he was covered in seconds!!!..needless to say there was no more laughing!! this thing is very impressive..only small complaints would be the tiny wheels, and the handle sit a little low for my 6'3 body...

***UPDATE***...still running strong!! it still amazes neighbors, its was a mild winter so i only used it 6 times but, it move a 1 foot snow like nothing!!Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

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


I received my Toro on a day where we got at least a foot of snow. The wind made huge drifts in spots. Putting it together was not a big problem but the lock nuts were slightly difficult for me to tighten by hand. I used 2 pairs of pliers...

I have never used a snow blower before. They are so heavy and require gas and oil--I'm pretty small and the thought of trying to use a monster like that--I knew it wasn't for me--not to mention the cost.

...Anyway, this machine is GREAT!! I don't usually leave feedback for things but I was so surprised at how it worked, I just had to. Upon first glance, you start wondering if it will work at all--It is very light--you look at the insides and again wonder how it will work. I still don't know how, but it does. It cut through 18" - 2' in some cases--and threw the snow far. The pictures from customers are very accurate. Once you get the hang of the cord it's a breeze.

This unit is just perfect for me because I have a raised patio. No problem for the toro. It's so light, I just picked it up with no problem and did the upper patio.

I have to add that I have a dog. I even did an area in the grass because the snow was so high on his legs. You just push it a little harder for the deeper stuff.

Oh yeah, one more thing...If you've never used a snow thrower/blower be careful not to aim the chute into the wind or you will have a cold face full of snow--it only takes once to learn that one.

It was well worth the money!! I highly recommend it.

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


I live in Buffalo, NY and we get our share of snow. I have a small gas powered snow thrower but I didn't want to deal with mixing and the gasoline/exhaust smell in my cloths afterwards. So I decided to give this electric thrower a try. I just received this on Thursday and had snow the following day. We had about 6 inches with drifts over 10 inches. This thing worked really well. It even cut through some frozen ice which were left over from previous snow storms. Awesome!
My only complaint is the discharge chute constantly lifted up from the force of the snow. But I'll try to tighten the bolt some more later. It's a carriage bolt but the square housing to keep the bolt in place is made of plastic. Poorly designed as it will strip easily but not a big deal.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


Just used this to blow 3 inches of very wet and heavy snow in Chicago area. Worked unexpectedly very well. I completed my driveway, my sidewalks and my neighbor's sidewalks in 20 minutes flat. It usually takes me at least 40 minutes just to do the driveway.
As many reviewers stated, the chute did move a bit in heavy/wet snow condition. I had to correct the chute direction once in a while, not a big deal.
Cable is a little bit of inconvenience, but I am glad with my purchase after I saw my neighbor who just purchased a brand new gas powered snow blower had to restart his so many times because it could not handle the wet snow. He finally finished in about 50 minutes and my driveway is still cleaner than his :)

I just tried the Toro Snow Thrower on five plus inches of good packing snow and found it was more than up to the task.Easy to start and go(just push the handle button),my 1 1/2 hour job was done in about 30 min.
The 30 inch pile of slush,snow and ice at the end of the driveway moved a little slower, but it all moved with a few passes with no loss of power.
One will have to learn the ways of the power cord but I found this to be of very little bother. For price and convience compared to a larger gas blower I am quite satisfied with this purchace.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

This morning we had couple of inches of snow, so I've tried it for the first time. It was more than that at the beginning of the driveway where city cleaning service created a barrier of wet snow, but the snow blower worked just fine. In addition I've came home not smelling like a can of gasoline. This is my 3d snow blower - previous 2 were gas-powered, but they had trouble starting in cold weather, and snow has a tendency of arriving in winter. With this snow blower - no problem. One of the reviewers before me complained that his hands get tired of squeezing the handle. Yes, this is a security feature, and my hands did not get tired. However, I give only 4 stars because of assembly problem. The first step of the instruction says to connect the tubes of the handle while pushing in the electric cable which goes through these tubes, without, of course, damaging it. Well, the cable did not want to be pushed in! So, I've ended up disconnecting the base of the handle from the body of the device, and pulling the electric cable from another end instead of pushing it in. There was no problem of pushing the cable into the body. The whole operation took about 10 min, and required some minimal tools, e.g. a set of wrenches to work with hexagonal screw heads. So, if you are not intimidated by that - go ahead and buy this thing. I am definitely glad I did. BTW, buy the longest outdoor-rated extention cable you can.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
