My neighbors are jealous. This is the little red engine that could. I've used it for 2 winters now in the Northeast with no problems. My driveway is 50' long x 20' wide. The sidewalks add another 25' on either side. I use extra long extension cords with no power loss. It takes less time to blow off my driveway than with a gas-powered, manly Ken snowblower. It cleared last winter's blizzard (the New Year's blizzard with knee deep snow) in less than an hour. Even though this little blower vanished into the deep snow, it blew it all out into huge mounds. Sometimes the cord is a hassle, but not enough to force me to buy a he-man snowblower. It is light enough that I lift it by its top handle to blow off the front porch. Because of its lightweight, I lift it to blow out what the city plows in at the end of my driveway by taking 'bites' out of the snow mounds kindly left at the end of my driveway. Before, I would call the city to come back and plow out what they plowed in because I had to do it all by hand (which they would do, I love my hometown). This Toro handles both light and heavy snow well. Assembly took 10 minutes for this Barbie, meaning a couple of bolts and snap-on parts. Instructions were crystal clear (pictures, no words needed). Wheel freezing is a problem, so I retrofitted some small knobby wheels on it, et voila - traction and problem solved. Light enough that it hangs from a hook in the garage. Thank you, Toro!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


When I took it out of the box I thought it was too small to be able to help with all the snow we get at Big Bear Lake. However, shortly I was pushing it along over my wooden decks blowing snow away like crazy (without damaging my wooden deck). I heartily recommend this little machine. I had read the other reviews where people were having problems with their power cords coming loose. I didn't have that problem at all. It also eats ice, although pushing it through snow that has turned to a big ice cube is extreamly difficult.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

Reading the reviews of others is what persuaded me to take a chance with this Snow Thrower. I agree with those reviews.
I've only had to use the Thrower once so far in Watertown, Wisconsin. There was about 8" of relatively heavy snow on my patio, and the Thrower cleaned it off right down to the concrete and threw it an impressive distance away. It also cut a nice swath to the birdhouse.
Assuming it holds up, it is a nice unit for smaller driveways, sidewalks and patios. You need to plan around the cord, but it beats cranking and cranking a gas-fired unit.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

Assembly required. Perfect for removing a couple of inches of snow on a single-car driveway. Very easy to use. For best results, use it before you walk or drive over the snow and pack it down.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


If you have a small area to clear where having an extension cord is not a problem, then this snow thrower is a good choice. I have a patio that needs cleaning and it does it quickly and easily. Its light so I can haul it up and down stairs easily and its great not needing to mess with gas. I read in other reviews that the cord can at times be a problem and its true so if you have a large area get something else. The blower really does shoot the snow 30 feet. The chute adjustment screw is a bit cheap as the entire unit is made out of plastic so you need to readjust from time to time, but its not a big problem. I used different nuts with nylon inserts on the chute to prevent them from loosening so you can get just enough tension without damaging the plastic and yet can move it where you desire. Glad I bought it.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

I am absolutely thrilled with the new electric snow thrower. It may take a little longer to clear everything, but I couldn't handle the gas powered snow thrower very easily and it usually wouldn't start unless I brought it in the house to warm up. The electric one even ate through the snow at the end of the driveway where the town plows piles of snow so I can't get out of my driveway.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
