Very difficult to assemble [Posted on 2008-11-28]
I have been unable to assemble my snow thrower. The two sections of the handle need to slide into place and to do this you're supposed to push in from the sides. I don't have enough hands to push in at the same time as pushing down, and I have been unable find a way to to get it together. I am hoping I can find someone to help me out, but in the meantime, I'm stuck. I should have bought locally from a store that would sell it to me fully assembled. Live and learn.
do not buy this!!! [Posted on 2008-11-29]
I used this blower 2 times before the belt burned up. Took it in to have it fixed and it last 1 more time. Maybe the snow here in Califorina was too wet but do not spend any money on this!! I read all the great write up's that people sent in and can only thank some one in Toro wrote them.

I love this snow thrower. It is easy to use and I like not having to fill up the gas and pull the cord. I reccommend this to everyone.
Works Like a Champ [Posted on 2008-12-01]
We just had our first snowfall in Chicagoland and this snow thrower came through better than expected. I was a little nervous as some reviewers said it did not work well on wet snow. We had 3-5 inches of wet, heavy snow last night and this thing chewed through it like the Klumps at Old Country Buffet. I cannot recommend this item enough!!!
Works very well...as well or better than I was hoping [Posted on 2008-12-02]
I bought the Toro 1800 electric snow thrower last winter, and it performed well for me all last winter. I got it out of storage today to deal with our first real snowfall of the season, and it again worked great.
I bought it here at Amazon.com, which was a great buy and free shipping to boot! (Before that, I had been out shopping and noticed this same model for sale at Home Depot. I asked them if they would match Amazon's price, and they said no, that Amazon was not one of their competitors. I said, "Alrighty then", and promptly ordered it from Amazon; it arrived in a few days, just in time for the next big snow).
My only real complaint is that it requires a cord, and a long one at that (for my long corner lot sidewalks, that is). The cord really isn't *that* big of a deal...somewhat of a hassle, for sure, though.
Otherwise, it works great! It does what it is supposed to: clear lots of snow. No, this thing doesn't handle medium or larger ice chunks. But, I have found that it really does do a pretty good job even on wet/heavy snow, as long as it is not too deep. On lighter snow, up to around 8 inches deep, this thing is a breeze (and, it will work with deeper snow, but requires more effort and time).
I was very skeptical about buying an electric snow thrower, but for my current location, where we get an average of 50 inches of snow per year, this does the job well.
If you think you can handle the moderate hassle of using a cord, then definitely get this snow thrower. You won't be disappointed with it's performance!
