The lift handle makes it easy to move. | Fast, Effective Snow Removal with the Power Curve System Toro's patented Power Curve System employs a unique, curved rotor and a funnel-shaped housing, in addition to wide rubber paddles that propel the machine forward and clean all the way down to the pavement. This technology lets you move more snow in less time, and it virtually eliminates clogging, so you can be confident that your snow thrower will be ready the next time a winter storm comes your way. With a snow removal capacity of 700 pounds per minute, the Power Curve lets you clear four inches of snow off a 50-by-20-foot driveway in just 10 minutes. The machine's clearing width of 18 inches means that you can clear most walkways with just one or two quick passes. And with a snow cut depth of 10 inches per pass, you won't need to repeat work you've already done, unless you're in the middle of a serious blizzard. Compact and Easy to Maintain with Electric Power With no gas or oil to burn through, no spark plugs to change, and no time-consuming tune-ups, this electric snow thrower is a cost-effective, eco-friendly option. Its compact size makes it easier to maneuver than big, gas-powered units, and it's easier to store, too. This makes an electric unit like the Toro 1800 ideal for small spaces like porches, decks, and patios. When you do want to clear a large area, you'll appreciate the surprisingly powerful nature of this lightweight unit. It features a reliable, series-wound 12 Amp motor, which is designed to produce high torque and operate at relatively low speeds, making it a perfect choice for snow-throwing. The cord lock system eliminates one of the potential downfalls of using electric products by ensuring your extension cord is reliably locked in place. And with electric power, this snow thrower is easy to start up. Even on the coldest days, it's as simple as squeezing the trigger on the control bar and releasing it when you want to stop. There's no priming or frustrating cord pulling. Convenient, Ergonomic Features for a Long Life The trigger is conveniently placed on an ergonomically designed handle for comfort and ease of use, while a key lock means you never have to worry about unauthorized use. Additionally, a remote crank chute and deflector give you full 180-degree adjustability, so it's easy to throw snow anywhere you want. And a specially-designed lift handle on the top of this 24-pound unit takes the awkwardness out of moving your snow thrower from your garage to your porch or tucking it in your vehicle. This snow thrower is backed by a full two-year warranty. What's in the Box Snow blower, parts needed for assembly, and operators manual.

I needed this SO bad! January 8, 2009 Donna in Massachusetts (Massachusetts, Northeast) We have gotten buried with snow this year. It was getting really hard to throw the snow from the shovel at all, or high enough! This is easy to use (just be really careful controlling where your electrical cord is at all times). It's very light, you can lift it easily, clean steps or porches, it cleaned right down to the ground. It's easy to handle compared to pushing a big snowblower around. When we had a freeze after the snow, and I wanted to protect it, I just put it in my kitchen! It does throw the snow quite a distance, does great on light snow, but requires a few passes to take down high or heavy stuff. It's like a munchkin snowblower!! Very happy so far.
SHOULD BE MARKETED AS A CHILD'S TOY January 8, 2009 G. VENETIS (Chicago, IL) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Bought yesterday--returned today! Light, 1-1/2 inch snowfall totally baffled this so-called snow thrower. Snow just spun around, accumulating in the impeller, and never made it to the chute. Even my trick of spraying vegetable oil on the impeller and chute didn't help. My 12" Snow Fox purchased on Amazon three winters ago beats the pants off of this modified tin can. I may be losing 6" on the swath, but it's a good trade-off for retaining my sanity. Note to the people who posted positive reviews: are you sure it was snow that you were throwing?
Torro 1800 18" electric snow blower January 8, 2009 Jeffrey S. Everitt (Chicago, Illinois) This is by far the best purchase that I have bought in a long time! All my neighbors are trying to get there gas powered units started and i'm just whizing the snow from my sidewalks and driveway. I'ts hard to beleive that this unit will throw snow 30' but beleive me it does. I would defenetly without question buy this unit very easy to use! And Amazon to purchase as well.
Great little snowblower January 7, 2009 D. F. Wolf (NY) My first shipment arrived without the needed nuts and bolts to put the snow blower together. However, to Amazon's credit, they send me another complete snow blower which arrived 2 days later, and UPS picked up the old one -- GREAT service!! The snow blower is functioning well - it is small, but that's why I bought it and it does its job very well. Besides the little training wheels it comes with - it is doing an A+ job and I can revommend it.
Toro 1800 Snow Thrower January 7, 2009 Sandra M. Merrill I purchased this item for my husband for Christmas to do the stairs and walkways to our house. He likes it a lot and says it works great and is easy to use. It didn't take him long to assemble it. The only thing he wasn't happy with is that it didn't come with a retractable cord, which has to be bought separately. It would have been better if it were "ready to use" (after assembly) right out of the box, which would mean you could plug it in and use it without having to go buy a cord. Fortunately, we had a cord on hand; however, he will more than likely buy the longer one. Please note that he rated it a 4 out of 5 stars only because it didn't come with a cord. He wanted to rate it a 4-1/2 but you can't do that.
