EXACTLY what I was looking for

Review by mep, 2010-09-02

As anticipated, my acquisition of this snow thrower resulted in lighter snowfall for Chicagoland for the 2009-10 winter. But when it did snow it was such a relief to have this on hand. It's lightweight, which is great because I have to bring it up out of the basement and return it there after use. It's powerful enough for the job I have to do, clearing the front, back and side walkways, a 20 x 30' parking area and in front of a two car garage that faces the alley. What would take me hours can now be done in 20 minutes. It was shipped promptly -- Amazon always does an excellent job. I got the 100' heavy duty cord that was intended for use outdoors in the cold. I Like the fact that the plug lights up.


Stopped Working After the First Use

Review by Felines, 2010-07-13

I used this on my average size driveway while the snow was just a couple of inches. It worked great the first time I used it, but during a second snow storm, the motor started smoking. I opened the side panel and could see the belt was off its track. I had to take it to an authorized Toro dealer and repair store who contacted the Toro company and informed them that the motor was inoperable. The Toro company decided to send me a new machine which I am supposed to receive sometime in August or September, 2010. We'll see what happens. Overall, I do not feel this snow thrower is reliable and was disappointed with not being able to get any reasonable use out of it. I am probably better off buying a small gas snow thrower for next season.

Review by K. Armstrong, 2010-06-10

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.


Nice While It Lasted

Review by Linda Nespoli, 2010-06-04

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.


it's an electric wonder

Review by K. Martin, 2010-05-13

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.
