Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025 Get it now!


I've only used it twice so far so I cannot comment on the Toro's longevity. However, it handled a 10" snow and a wet 4-5" snowfall well. I'm talking about a nice bit of area it covered. Of course it is best to do the snow in stages and not wait until it gets high. Also, maneuvering the electrical cord takes a little getting use to. I like it so much that I got my sister-in-law one. Shop around for the best price.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

Assembly can be a little difficult and tricky. You have to gently insert a bolt through the handle which already has an electric wire running through it. It is very important to unpack the snowblower very carefully and to use care in assembling because you could cause hidden damage to the wire inside the handle. Once you get it assembled, and you buy a 14-guage extension cord that is long enough to reach from your electric outlet to the farthest reaches of your driveway, it's a piece of cake.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

We went to the local hardware store to look at and perhaps purchase one of these. I have to say that I was very disappointed in its robustness and appearance in general. It looks and feels like a cheap plastic toy with an expensive price tag. The plastic impeller (yes, the impeller is plastic) looked like something that would disintegrate into pieces the first time it hit a piece of ice. We decided not to buy one.

I give it two stars because we haven't actually used it and so I don't have a basis to give it one star.

At the very least, I would advise against buying one of these by mail order or over the Internet (sorry, Amazon) unless you know exactly what you are buying. Find one in a local hardware store (the toro website has MANY dealer listings all over the country) and go look at it first. Then decide if it's worth $300+ to you.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 Review


This thing is pretty incredible. Just got it today, and it's already snowed 4-5 times and previously I have just been shoveling.

My driveway was already plowed by the time I got this, so I had to try it out on other things, like the 2-3ft snow banks that haven't been touched by a shovel since the beginning of the snow season, or the banks that I created by shoveling, also fairly high.

I simply placed this thing on top of the snow bank and pushed it back and forth on top of it, and it ate away large sections of the snow bank at a time. It even cleaned up the ice/slushy stuff where my property meets the road.

I'd rate this 4.5/5 since the thing is literally one big piece of Tonka plastic... but since that isn't an option I'd rather give it a 5 than a 4. The height adjustment is also a little flakey... doesn't seem to hold down, but I think I may need to tighten it, as I've been wearing to strip the plastic like I've heard in some reviews.

Edit: The snow flow height adjustment seems fine after I tightened the nuts. I was pushing on the head of the bolt to try to prevent the plastic square insert from stripping.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

This is a small snow blower, which is perfect for places where you don't get a lot of snow, but have a big driveway you have to clear. Very lite and easy to use. Does well with wet or lite snow, and some ice.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

Product and carton received in excellent shape; no damage. Can't comment on snow removal yet because we have not had any. Read several reviews about extension cord connection to snow thrower. If you purchase a 14 gauge (15 amp) extension cord, it fits fine and will handle the product's 12 amp draw. If one connects the extension cord to the handle per the instructions, it should NOT disconnect inadvertently. I am a handyman and ran into two assembly issues. First, when connecting the upper handle to the lower handle, the left side with the electric wire was really difficult to push together because the wire inside the tubing is about 1/2 to 1 inch too long. Second, when connecting the chute deflector onto the discharge chute, one bolt and locknut tightened just fine. The other locknut was a wrestler's challenge. Used a pair of channel-locks to hold the bold head until the locknut was tight enough for the square bolt to engage in the square plastic housing. If not careful, one can strip the square plastic hole in the discharge chute. Otherwise, I believe it will be a good snowthrower for 10 inches of snow, or less, as advertised on the carton.
