Tools and Hardware Reviews of Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025
Customer Review: Awesome Snow Thrower
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one heck of a snow thrower. Picked it up at Ace Hardware for $299 (the MSRP for it is $329.99 - the company selling them on here should be ashamed of themselves for gauging the price and charging $60 above MSRP AND charging an additional $20 for shipping!). For a little thing, it's quite steady and sturdy and it clears the driveway quite quickly. Highly recommended if you can find them elsewhere.Customer Review: Awesome Snow Thrower

I had a gas snow thrower once. It was more trouble than what it was worth. You had to mix the gas and oil. Then it was hard to start the first time it snowed and it stalled a lot. I thought I was going to have a heart attack just getting the thing started and that's why I bought it in the first place. It was to prevent one! Finally I sold it because it was easier just to shovel snow.
Then I saw the Toro Electric 1800 Power Curve. I read the reviews and thought I'd give it a try. I was a little concerned about the electric motor, but I had cut down two large trees in my yard with an electric chain saw with no problems ( electric chain saw is also a great improvement over a gas one!)
I bought the power curve and then waited for it to snow. We got 5 inches of snow last night and couldn't wait to use my new snow blower. I was amazed, it cleared the snow all the way down to the pavement and was blowing the snow 15 to 20 feet with ease. I watched as my neighbor's gas blower only blew the snow about 5 feet. I cleared my 50ft driveway and sidewalks in about 15 minutes. The cord wasn't really a problem. I just started at the top of my driveway and worked my way down. My neighbor came over to see what I was using and he was amazed that it worked so well.
I didn't have to much trouble with assembly. I think the carriage bolts used in the discharge chute should be metal instead of plastic, because it was hard not to strip the bolt head when trying to tighten.
All and all I think this was a great investment. I live in Ohio and we don't have that many big snow storms, so I think this product is perfect for my situation, but maybe not for yours. I love it! Just plug it in and go, then put it away.
Customer Review: Awesome little snowblower!

I thought it wouldn't do much, but I was wrong. It holds it's own with the gas blowers. It was a good bargin.Customer Review: Awesome snow blower

Got the snow blower right before the last big winter storm in Ohio. Handled the ice and snow with no problems. What normally took 1-2 hours to clear on my driveway only took about 25-30 mins. Saved my back and time out in the cold. Have to watch out for the extension cord but once you get the knack for it, things go very quickly. Blower handled 6" of snow and about 1" of ice with no problems. I love this thing!! Thanks from Scott, Plain City, Ohio.Customer Review: Awesome snowthrower

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.
