This is the latest version of the top-rated and very popular 1800 Power Curve line of electric snowblowers and throwers. This line has been revamped. This Toro snowblower comes with an upsized engine (Engine size: 15Amp Electric) and larger wheels. Toro also added an ergonomic handle to make the job a little more comfortable! Another added feature is a new lever which the owner can use to adjust the direction of the chute. There is now also the ability to adjust the angle using the new zip deflector. With these two key features there is complete control over where the snow goes. While this Toro snowblower is in use, the Power Curve patented technology helps the unit propel forward. The unit also comes equipped with a lift handle to assist with transport.

Features of this Toro Snowblower Include:

• Toro Snowblower has a weight of 25 lbs.
• The clearing width is 18"
• The Engine size is 15Amp Electric
• The tires measure 6"X1.5"
• The throw distance is up to 30'
• Capacity per minute is up to 700 lbs

Upgrades Have Been Made From the Previous Model:

Since this model has a larger engine, larger wheels and increased intake capacity it should beat out its predecessor in capability. User complaints about the previous model were addressed by adding a cord lock and increasing the wheel size. There is a new design and dimension, calling for the use of a different belt. Users of the previous 38025 model had complained that the belt broke fairly easily. It has yet to be proven if this new belt will solve this issue. There were still very high ratings on the previous model of this Toro snowblower, and the upgrades that have been made on the new version should take these consumer ratings even higher.

Due to the fact that this is the model for the Toro 1800 Power Curve line of Electric snowblower/snow thrower, there isn't the possibility for a substantial review until the customer reviews are received from actual use during this 2010/2011 winter. We can take into account reviews for the comparable older model of the 1800 Power Curve line, the Toro 38025. This previous model is a very widely sold model which has received an amazingly positive response (4 out of 5 stars on Amazon). Most users were very satisfied with this model's ease of use and maintenance this model. Users were also pleased and surprised with all that this 25lb machine could actually do. Any negative reviews for the older model of this Toro snowblower were mostly concerned with the snowblower's functioning capability in severe weather situations such as heavy or wet snow, icy conditions and gravel or rocky ground. Please remember that electrical snowblowers aren't made for heavy duty snow removal and were intended for light duty tasks only. When faced with severe weather conditions or heavy snow fall, please think about purchasing a more powerful gas powered two stage snowblower. Most of the customer complaints about the earlier model were addressed in this new version.
