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


I have kids so I didn't want to deal with gas, instead bought the 1800. This snow thrower is great for light to moderate weight snow up to eight inches deep. Heavier denser, wet snow would be tougher but it still gets the job done. In this condition I would shovel when it's around 4 inches.
The chute is great with 180 degree angle to throw the snow from left, right and anything in between, whichever works for you. Plus the chute has an height adjuster where if you're throwing the snow when it's really windy you could lower the throw so the snow won't blow into your face or higher up over a wood fence.
The cord doesn't bother me too much since I also mowe my grass with electric. Since it's electric I could store it in my basement with no hassle or fear with the smell/mess/storage/running out of it/fire hazzard of gas. I've been using the 1800 for atleast 10 years and have no regrets.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 have used my snow thrower 3 times now and it has performed better than I expected even on wet snow. Very powerful and efficient. It took me 30 minutes to clear my 60 ft driveway instead of an hour and a half with a shovel. The electric cord gets in the way as you walk away from the house but it is worth not experiencing any more back problem. Also the wheels could certainly be bigger and sturdier but overall I would recommend this product for anybody who does not want to use a gaz snow blower.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

Today it snowed about three inches and this little blower did a great job. It left the concrete very clean, the cord was not a problem, and the wheels were adequate. It blew the snow about 8 feet so it does not have the longest throw. Where the snow was taller, say 6 inches, the snow guide had a tendency to rotate back to center so you have to watch that.

So for light snow's I'd say this unit is absolutely fantastic. For snow over 6 inches it would probably be ok but would require a little more work to keep that guide on track.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


I bought this for my husband as a Christmas gift. It arrived on Thursday...one day before our HUGE snowstorm here in WI! In this area we got 10" of what they call 'heart attack snow' because it is heavy and wet. When I went out and uncovered the box with a MERRY CHRISTMAS he just said 'is it gas or electric?" I said 'electric' and he took it out of the box and then just went out and continued HAND shoveling the driveway. I was very disappointed in his reaction. Now granted it would NOT have been able to cut through the 4 FEET of snow at the end of the driveway from the snowplows going thru but I thought it would have done the rest. Well today he decided to finish all the sidewalks and driveway. We didn't have enough length of cord to do all the sidewalks as we live on a corner lot. He rather 'reluctantly' took the snow blower out to do the sidewalk...I think to just apease me and you should have seen his face when he barely touched the button to start and away it went. His face just LIT UP!! THEN he had to show me how it got right down to the sidewalk, and all he had to do was 'touch the button' and 'look at chute take that snow.' And on and on. When he stopped for a second he said 'I REALLY didn't think this was going to do anything on THIS snow.! Like I said we got 10" and it zipped that off the sidewalks in no time! He is ONE HAPPY CAMPER right now!! THANK YOU for this great snow thrower!! LOVE IT and LOVE that it takes the stress off his back!

I was real skeptical of an electric snowblower. But I went with this because it was cheaper, smaller (easier to store), lighter (I can hang it to store it and my wife can easily use it). Then 1 week after I bought it, and while out of town, we got 10" of snow overnight. I came back a few days later and had to try this thing for the first time:

Wow. This thing really cleared quickly and easily and down to the cement. Now its not as fast as others but thats expected. Also, I had snow drifts that were about 2 feet high. This has a handle on the front (and its light) so that you can operate it like a shovel and 'skim' the top of snow banks, steps, etc

But a couple of downsides to consider: The cord is a bit of a pain do deal with, the snow direction thing move a bit on its own which can get annoying, the weels are cheap plastic.


All in all I'm really surprised by the power and ability of this small thing. I paid $300 and would do it again in a heartbeat. Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
