User Reviews about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025
If you do not have a lot of driveway and sidewalk, this is a good snow thrower to have. It works well. You don't have to deal with gasoline. Be sure you have enough electric cable. If you have to connect one or more cables together, it might be a good idea to tape them together so they do not separate. It is not heavy, so it is easy to move around. I like it. -- Toro 1800 Electric Curve Snow Thrower
i had it for 1 year and only used it once and I thought it did a fine job for its small size. Then this year I used it 2 times and it burned out. It's sitting in the garage waiting to be thrown out now. I thought it was nice while it lasted but for the price it didn't last long enough for me. -- Nice While It Lasted
Winter 2010 the Northeast was pounded by 3 snow storms that dropped over 70 inches of snow. Two of these storms were only a few days apart, leaving 50+ inches in spots by the time it was all said and done. Do not buy this and expect to be able ot handle 20+ inches of snow in 1 pass. The toro 1800 can handle about 8-10inches of snow without any real headache. Through all of hte storms I would take a run around the drive way every few hours, and this electric wonder would toss the snow whereever I wanted it.
I did find that when trying ot handle lots of wet snow it would periodically clog the discharge shoot, but it could be cleared quickly and easily. My only other complaint was that the unit had slipped the running belts, which required opening up the side access panels refitting the belts and ensuring that the fly wheel and shaft were full srewed in to all their bits.
The Toro 1800 is relatively inexpensive for snow throwers, handles itself amazing well and doesn't require any real maintenance. For all these reasons I give it 5 stars and recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to shovel snow, but doesn't want/need hte big gas powered machines.
-- it's an electric wonder
I live in north east ohio and we don't get the snowfall that Buffalo gets but have seen 12" at one time. This amount is too much for the electric blower but it will chop away until the job is done. Wet snow, any amount, will clog the chute and it is necessary to clear it by hand. Wet snow or deep snow decreases the throwing distance down to just several feet but repeated passes will get it done.
I replaced a d****d 2 cycle gas unit with this blower and for this area of the country it is satisfactory and less troublesome than the 2 cycle blower....it is always ready.
The cord is bothersome but you get used to it as long as you use a cord designated for cold weather use (it is more flixible)
Will buy another electric when this one gets tired! -- 2 seasons use
