To be honest,I've only had the opportunity to use it one time, but it blew my mind as to the ease of handling, and the workload it was able to handle.The only thing I found was that while I was using it, it drew aome power from the rest of the house,causing lights to blink, but I had a direct outlet installed to rhe circuit box. It worked fine without it , but I have more peace of mind now, knowing it will not trip the circuit breakers.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

Low Price Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025
We have bought at 4 gas snowthrowers, including one that was stolen out of garage. All had the same problem - we were reluctant to put gas and oil in the machine because we weren't sure we'd be getting any snowfall in the Chicago winters. So about 6" would fall and we'd wonder how to get to the gas station and mix it with the oil. Using the gas snowblower meant blasting gas fumes all over the neighborhood and having your clothes reeking. Then there was the problem of how to dispose of the leftover gas at the end of winter. It got to the point that an expensive gas snowblower was sitting in our basement ever year because my husband just didn't want to deal with the gasoline issues.
After the latest several inch snowfall I asked him about getting a Toro electric and he told me to go ahead and order it. It arrived in three days and we are thrilled with it. It's light and blows the snow down to the pavement. The cord is the only hassle, yet we'd never want to go back to the gasoline throwers again.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've owned one of these for 10 years. So far I've had to replace the switch in the handle and the blade. Both of these I replaced myself without a problem. Otherwise the machine has been perfect. I live in northern Vermont and have a 100 foot driveway so the machine gets a fair amount of use. I also use it to clear paths to the front door, woodpile and compost pile.
I doesn't have the strength to handle frozen slush but anthing else it handles just fine. Deep snow, more than a foot, may require that you lift the machine up to shave off a layer before you can clear down to the ground. Fortunately, it's light enough to do this with. I even use it to clear the snow thrown up by the plow at the end of the driveway. In last week's 30 inch snowfall it worked fine although it took multiple passes.
Getting a flexible-when-cold, heavy gauge (rated for 12 Amps) extension cord for this would be a good idea. Clearing wet snow or slush from around the chute after you use it helps prevent feeze-up.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
**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.
