Toro 38381 Electric Snow Thrower
If you are in the market for a powerful snow blower, but don’t want to incur the steep cost associated with the gas powered models, then take a looks at the Toro 1800 Power Curve.
This electric snow blower has a powerful 15 amp motor that is capable of cutting a path through the snow 18 inches wide. It can handle snow up to 12 inches deep, and will throw the snow as far as 30 feet. It has a one piece curved rotor with two blades. The Toro Power Curve 1800 is powerful enough to move up to 700 pounds of snow per minute. Just try doing that with your standard snow shovel!
It has an adjustable snow chute controlled by a lever that allows you to control the direction that you throw the snow. You have the ability to move the chute 160 degrees. It is simple to operate.
You will love the ergonomic handle for its comfort, and the large 6 inch wheels that offer more traction. Weighing in at only 25 pounds, the Toro 38381 is easy to transport and store as well. The handle folds down to allow it to be stored in a compact space. It costs a little more than the WORX WG650, but has a little more power.
This is an eco-friendly snow blower. Since it runs off of electricity, there is no gas and no oil required. That equates to no emissions as well. You won’t have to worry about the engine maintenance that comes with traditional gas-powered snow blowers.
The setup is super simple. Once out of the box, it will take you about 5 minutes to attach the handle and levers. All you need to do then is plug it in, and you are ready to start throwing some snow!
Toro recommends that you do not use an extension cord over 150 feet. If using a 100 ft extension cord, it should have a minimum wire gauge (A.W.G.) of 14. For a 150 ft extension cord, the minimum A.W.G. should be 12. You can see our recommended extension cords here: Electric Snow Blower Extension Cords.
You can watch the following video of the Toro 38381 in action, so you can see what it can do.
You should read the safety instructions included in the manual before getting started though. The manual is short and sweet and gets right to the point.
In the box, you get the 1800 Power Curve blower, the parts for assembly, and an operator’s manual. You also get the peace of mind of a 2 year warranty, so you know that your investment in it will be protected.
