Where To Buy Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025

The product arrived quickly, but I was suspicious the packaging tape was not original. The unit, purchased new, was previously assembled! The washer on the lever was broken. The box had tears, not from shipping, but from sitting around. I live in New Jersey, but am originally from Pennsylvania and I am ashamed that the unit was shipped from Chambersburg, PA. People usually have pride in what they do from this area, but not in this case. That earns a lump of coal in your Christmas stocking! Please do not bait and switch another previously assembled unit for new. Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

Dec '07

I bought this last year, but it was not til this weekend's Nor'easter that I had a chance to see what it was made of. Like another reviewer, I'm just north of Boston and we frequently get 4-6" of pretty heavy snow... This weekend was another story- first came the fluffy snow, then the temp went up and it rained, turning things to slush, then it got very cold, of course turning things into cement. Snow totals were in the neighborhood of 1-1.5 feet, plus some left over from a previous storm.

For the first two scenarios, the Toro did remarkably well. This thing will motor through 6 or 8 inches of snow without batting an eye, and it will throw it a good 15 feet. It's fun, it's easy to use, it's super light, and it's relatively quiet. Did I just say clearing the driveway is fun? Well, it is, kinda... For slushy snow- I used my in-laws two-stage snow machine to try to clear a few inches of slush with no luck, that thing would clog like an old snow cone machine. When I came home, the Toro just paddled its way through it, and if you went slowly enough, cleared the thick soupy stuff with great agility. As other reviewers said, if you have a smaller driveway to clear, this thing will have you out and done before you've checked the gas on your old one. A thick crust of ice or large ice rocks will be a dealbreaker on this machine, where a more solid one or two stager might get through it.

PROS: light, relatively cheap, no maintenance/oil/gas, quiet, good for smaller driveway and sidewalk, portable (hey you can even take it to the inlaws!)

CONS: not even sure why they have the plastic wheels on the back it doesn't really seem to need/use them; structure feels a little toy-like but really performs despite this, this machine does not like ice or rocks; it also doesn't like being pushed too fast. Also, it's physical size mean that more than 8-10 or so inches of snow will ride over the top and be harder to clear. It'll still handle it, but may require 2 passes.

Overall: Would get another one today. Just be realistic with your expectations and you'll be rewarded.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

I haven't used the snow thrower yet, it is a gift for my husband. I anticipate that it will be perfect for our needs. We cannot store anything with gasoline and this will be maintenance free and clean.

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

I have owend this product for last 2 years and has used it for winter storms with 2 feets of snow. Here are the things I like:
1. Zero Maintenance
2. Works great
3. Very light weight and easy to handle
4. No gas smell which is annoying with other snowblowers
Wish it was better in:
1. It was little more wider
2. With 2 feet of snow it is better to shovel it twice. Works much better with upto 1 feet of snow

Still I would recommedn it in a heartbeat. Great product.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've had my 1800 for two seasons. And it is The Bomb! In Chicagoland,we get a fair amount of snow, most recently, a 7-inch fall. The 1800 handled it with ease, ejecting the snow 30- to 40 feet away. With a little patience, it will munch its way through the foot-deep berm deposited across my driveway by the city plow. Deeper falls might require multiple passes. Not sure about this. Still, it works equally well on my driveway, sidewalk, a lumpy flagstone walkway and even across bare ground. Need to move it over a curb or something? Just pick it up by its handle - it's easily portable.

So why four stars? First of all, it's not happy in really wet snow or slush. But is any snow blower? Second, the "string" attached, that is, the electrical cord. It saves you the hassle of gas or gas/oil, cold weather starting and so on. But you have to manage the cord, every minute, every move. This is okay with me. I'm used to it.

Bottom line, if you feel that the cord is a small price to pay to avoid non-starts and hands that smell like gasoline, and you aren't clearing snow drifts in the high Sierras, the 1800 is an excellent choice.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

It has worked well in snow up to about 5 inches and I think it will do a good job in deeper snow, when needed.
