50% off Toro Power Shovel, Toro Snow Thrower or Toro Snow Blower @ Target - 50% off

FWIW, I used the 18" model just north of Buffalo NY (I have since moved way south) and was surprised how well it worked even in snow deeper than the thrower was tall. I was happy not to have to fuss with carburetors and exhaust and found myself swearing a lot less after switching to this. I just thought I would share my experience for those thinking about this deal.

Thanks! Just ordered the Toro 1800 Power Curve 18" Snow Blower! The Amazon reviews were great and solved the minor electric cord issue as well!

I live near Washigton DC. Which model should I get? 1500 or 1800? Are there major differences between 1500 and 1800 models beside one clearing 12 inches and 1800 clearing 18 inches (in width)?

So 1800 model doesn't handle the depth better than 1500? Is it just bigger engine for the 1800 model to compensate for the wider width?

in 4 one for Toro 1800 Power Curve 18" Snow Blower - Red for $193 after taxes and shipping. nice one and good reviews..

I have the older model of the 1800 and it works amazingly well. Now I only get out my serious snow thrower if there is about a foot of heavy snow. Anything less and it is much easier to use the 1800. No dinking around trying to get it started or running out of gas in the middle of the job and having to try to blast out of the driveway to get to the gas station. My only concern is a big snow that knocks out power, fortunately our power lines are underground.

Bought my 1800 for $293 including tax two years ago. Great little machine, and I didn't want to deal with gas/motor oil maintenance much less the smell and size either. The only limitation is the length of extension cord; They don't advise going longer than a 50ft cord. Also, it's easier to use with two people, with one doing the cord management (reeling in/giving line) while the other runs the machine. Great post. I'm tempted to pickup the shovel, but the wife says no.

Anything less than a foot, I just use hands and shovel. Assume it is dry loose snow though.

Got notice that my 1800 has been shipped.

Being I do not have a Target Red Card the shipping killed the deal for me as I was able to get the 1500 from Amazon for $94.51 shipped (free super saver shipping). I brought the shovel last year but have yet to use it due to lack of snow.
