Remove large amounts of snow in no time. View larger.

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.

Rating: - Good machine overall
I purchased this machine autumn 2007. We received 5 meters (15 foot) of snow last winter in Québec, useless to say that the snow thrower has to work hard! It performed well to clear the driveway (15x20) and pathway. Since we received that much snow, I found the machine to be limited when having to push the snow high enough to reach the top of the snowdrift. And when the snow is more dense, it's sometimes hard to push the machine through snow because of the large sidewalls (each side of the blade). This is more a problem because of the flimsy handle. The main problem I had with the machine is when snow gets in the case, condensation and humidity make the strap slip so the blade won't turn... When that happens, you have to let the machine dry in a warm dry place and it comes back to normal. That's the main problem with the Toro 1800.

It assembled easily and runs,
but we haven't had any snow yet in Chicago
so I haven't used it.

Rating: - Best Back Saver for the Price
I purchased this Toro 1800 Electric snowthrower last year. I moved to the Midwest 2 years ago. After the first year of shoveling by hand I vowed never to do that again as my back suffered for doing so. This snowthrower does great for 2 feet of snow or less. It throws snow effectively as far as others that cost twice as much. The Toro works at its best after the last of the snow has fallen. I does not work very well after a car has driven over the snow down the driveway. The snowthrower has difficulty scraping the compacted snow with its plastic scraper. The swivel chute has trouble turning in the cold weather, not sure why but its a very basic system that you crank by hand to change the direction of the snow being thrown. Despite these minor discomforts its a great machine that makes an easy time of the snow removal and I no longer dread the snow season. The two year manufacturers warranty is great if it fails to perform you can get repairs done within that period without any cost to you. For my money this was the best option for me as I watched my neighbors trying to start his gas powered snowthrower and by the time he succeded I was finished and resting in my living room drinking my cup of coffee looking out the window at him.

Waiting on the snow..otherwise the assembly went ok. Instructions are pretty simple. Beware of damaging the power cord when assembling the u-shaped handle. Any cuts through the insulation should be noted. The paint and finish are good. Light weight to move..we'll see when the snow hits.

Rating: - Pretty good
I've had this snow thrower for two winters now, and got it for a steal on Amazon for $126, and it's been well worth. I live north of Detroit, MI and its been able to get through any snow that has come down. If its slushy or wet it doesn't throw it as far, but still gets pretty close to the concrete. I've been surprised that it hasn't broke yet, knock on wood. The wheels are tiny, and its not going to break up any ice or packed down snow, those are the only knocks I have.
