the easy to use electric wonder (Rating: 5.00)
Review : this thing hangs on the garage wall, doesn't rust, always starts, is easy to handle, is cheaper than anything else on the market and works great in all new snow. If the snow is crusted it doesn't work well. We just finished with over 2 feet of snow. I did my drive 4 times before the snow finished and blew the snow 25 feet as claimed. It blew it from the upwind to the downwind side of the drive. When the plow came to get the road, I used this machine to get into the 4 foot drifts. I had to use a shovel to break down the sides and then this thing ate up the snow and threw it over the drift. If I didn't use the shovel I picked up the blower and used it like a rake. IT IS LIGHT. you do need to have a cord, the bigger gauge the better. the cord can get in your way, so you need to watch for the cord. the blower will eat or at least stall on a cord, but the hard plastic won't cut it. YOU DON'T HAVE TO START THIS THING WHEN IT'S COLD. So it's not the biggest fish in the pond but it's really great at what it can do....

Review : I live in NYC and I just used this snow thrower during the last nor'easter, in which we received 6 inches of snow. I just got home from work and there were my three neighbors: Mr. Nosey and Mr. and Mrs. Know-it-all half way done shoveling their driveways. "A lot of snow we got, eh, Crab. You got your work cut out for you!" With that the three of them started to smirk. Little did they know I had a secret weapon: The Toro 38025 1800 Power Curve Snow Thrower which I had sent to me under the cover of darkness away from their prying eyes. Tired, cold, hungry and scared, I plugged that bad boy in and off I went. Within 30 minutes, I plowed my driveway to concrete while my snoopy neighbors were still digging away. I guess I got the last laugh. There was no hassle,no fuss, no gas, no oil, no spark plugs. It's also light weight and I was able to lift it and plow a snow drift. It's so small and compact that it takes little space inside my house. Just a caveat: you should spend the 10 extra bucks for the 100' cord. My only regret is that I should have bought the Toro last year!
good electric snowthrower (Rating: 5.00)
Review : This product does what it does well. If you know you want an electric snowthrower and not electric, this one is a reasonable choice (home depot for $288). Some electric vs gas items: 1) you don't need to worry about it starting or not 2) it is NOT self-propelled, so in heavier snows more than 6 inches, the effort to push through the snow starts to increase. So if you're going to get a foot of snow, clearing 6 inches twice will be much easier. 3) an interesting way to use this machine (documented in the manual) is to use the two handles and pick it up and cut down taller snow banks (like at the end of a driveway after a plow has gone by) in a sort of scything motion. Interesting alternative to buying a huge gas powered one so it has enough power to hack down the pile. I had one difficulty in the minor bit of assembly required -- it appears the bolt are too long, so that the locknuts don't screw onto them as far as they should. Toro was very nice on the phone, and will send out some new bolts and also a new chute discharge (plastic) so I can make it perfect. Good customer service.
WE LOVE THIS THING! (Rating: 5.00)
Review : No more shoveling for us! Using this easy to use snowblower is like pushing a vaccumm cleaner! We whrrrr down our sidewalks in half an hour - compared to what used to take us an hour and a half! We even do the neighbors' walks now - it goes so fast! Handles a pretty heavy snowfall with two passes sometimes - but its still very fast, and easier on us than the old shovel. Something we first time snowblowers learned pretty fast: just be careful to make sure the chute is pointed downwind of you. :D
Awesome! Wish I had purchased years ago! (Rating: 5.00)
Review : This is a wonderful product. I just used it for our first "real" snow of the season. I have a medium-sized driveway and lots of sidewalk running around and through my double corner lot. The Toro cleared the snow like a charm--right down to the pavement (even broke up ice). Most of the snow was about 4" deep, but it even tackled the 1-1.5' mound left by the streetplow without a hitch. Plus, the Toro is so easy to use! It is lightweight (btw, it doesn't look like much out of the box) and easy to maneuver, and all I had to do was plug it in and squeeze the handle! I have many electric lawn/garden implements, and this one is the best by far!
Great value (Rating: 5.00)
Review : Great value and it did what it promised. Compact, light weight, no maintenance, and always started. After last President's Day snow, I decided never to break my back again. Looked around for a snow thrower. Most everything was expensive gas-powered lawn-mower size machines. In this part of Maryland we don't get that many snow storms and I have only a 30 feet 2-car drive-way. So, I wasn't willing to spend that much for using 5 or 6 times a year. This is under $300 and has sufficient power to get me out of the house in 15 minutes, including few extra minutes for untangling the extension chord (not included), clearing about 4-5 inches this morning. Good job Toro.
