 - Great ProductI live in Buffalo, NY so you know we get a good amount of snow. This thing doesn't have quite as much power as its gasoline powered friends but it has a lot of other little advantages. First off, this unit is super light, I can pick it up with one hand and use it to clear off the steps. Stopping the unit to pick up a branch or mover it to a new location is a breeze, just let the handle go and its off. Give it a squeeze and its back to work. There is no oil to change, to spark plugs to replace, no cord to yank. For that really thick sludge at the end of the driveway, this unit will slide up above the slop, shaving off a few inches so you can get through it in a few passes. The only trick to this snow thrower is planning out your route on the driveway so you don't get tripped up on the cord. I would have liked to have a heavier duty handle bars and wheels. They work fine but give the whole thing a cheap feel. Rating:  - Toro 1800If you are interested in this snow thower my recommedation is you purchase it from a local dealer. That way if anything goes wrong you can easily return it for exchange or repair. My snow thrower did not work out of the box. I called Toro but the only assistance they provided was a phone number to a local dealer. I then had to make an appointment to have the snow thrower looked at. The Toro dealer told me if I had purchased the Toro from him he would have just exchanged it for another one in his stock. As I bought it from Amazon the best he would do is repair it. Two 1/2 weeks later he called to tell me it was ready. The repair was $66.00, the drive had to be replaced. The good news is I filled out the on-line registration so Toro covered the cost under warranty. The Toro is now in working condition and it has exceeded my expectations. It's a great snow thrower that handles 3, 4 even 6 inches of snow easily. Make sure you fill out the warranty registration. It provides 2 years of full warranty. Also, check out snow blower dealers in your area. Make certain you can have the blower repaired if needed. Rating: - Fantastic I bought tis snowthrower based on other reviews. It is fantastic . I live in the Columbus Ohio area and this Toro had its trial by fire two days after I received it. We had a 20'' snowfall. The first time I used it I measured 9" with a yardstick. It cut through the snow like a knife through butter. Moving the electrical cord is a very minor nuisance. This snowthrower replaced a Toro gas powered version and it did a much much better job than the old one. P.S. I have a longer than average 2 car driveway . My neighbor has a much larger gas powered snowthrower but my Toro did the job as fast and good as his. He was very impressed as was I. Some other reviewers complained about the size of the wheels but I did not find that to be a problem. It is light and very easy to manuver. Rating: - It's GREAT!When I purchased the Toro 1800, I was concerned that it wouldn't be big enough to do my driveway, but it's done an amazing job. The convenience of just plugging it in and it's ready to go is fantastic. I strongly recommend this snow thrower. Rating: - Toro 1800This is a great asset if you have snow removal. I have two. I use them on my huge decks, one in the front and one in the back and they are champion. Only twenty five pounds so you can carry them but I prefer to have two with no knocking the walls as I come pass through the house. Besides, I don't want to be without one. I have broken a belt on my older one (it takes a lot of abuse) but belts are pretty easy to change if you have the tools. All plastic/rubber and no scratching the deck. You will be amazed at how far and well this machine can blow and throw.
