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.<p> 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.<p> <b>Compact and Easy to Maintain with Electric Power</b> 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 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.<p> 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.<p> 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. <p> <b>Convenient, Ergonomic Features for a Long Life</b> 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. <p> 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. <p> This snow thrower is backed by a full two-year warranty. <p> <b>What's in the Box</b> Snow blower, parts needed for assembly, and operators manual.

I've been using this snowthrower for 5 years now, and it works ok, but has definite limitations.  If you have a driveway that's longer than 30 feet, then seriously consider buying a gas-powered one.  To me, the hassles of using this snow thrower is balanced by the relatively few days of heavy snow where I live, and also by my dislike of maintaining gas-powered tools.  Recommended with reservations.
<br/>
<br/>PROS:
<br/>- Lightweight and compact, so can be stored in shed easily.
<br/>- Electric, so virtually no maintenance.
<br/>- The electric motor is surprisingly powerful.
<br/>- Simple to set up and use.
<br/>- Works very well with dry, powdery snow.
<br/>- Quality construction, and zero problems in past five years.
<br/>
<br/>CONS:
<br/>- Lack of torque and lightweight plastic construction means that it cannot handle compacted, icy, or wet snow.  (This is when you feel like junking this tool.) 
<br/>- There should be a mechanism that 'locks' the electric cord connection to the thrower, so that the cord doesn't keep disconnecting.
<br/>- The handle should retract and telescope for leverage and also to facilitate storage.
<br/>- The tiny plastic wheels must have come from a toy factory.  They provide no traction and are merely useless appendages.
