Powershovel Toro Snow Blowers

by Michael on December 2, 2010 · 29 comments

I hope this video of the Powershovel from Toro.

"snow" more like the ice storm from the east coast was about 13/02/2007 I took a little cleaning with my Toro powershovel little. There was not enough snow to get out of my big guns, but this little guy had done the job I have!

The snow is coming, so you better get your Toro snow blower out!

works well so far in the Netherlands, the effect snow Lake Michigan

2 jimmybobo December 2, 2010 at 6:39 am: This thing would be good for like…a deck or something.
3 justforfun1366 December 2, 2010 at 7:31 am: i have one just dont use it for picking up ice like you would with a gas one
4 moldymac December 2, 2010 at 8:19 am: These are good for light snow, but tend to be useless for larger amounts. Nice Roadmaster wagon BTW.
5 sonofjabba December 2, 2010 at 8:49 am: You Need Something More like the Murray 2 Stage Gas Powered Machine I have Videos of. This isn’t really for BIG amounts of snow.
6 sonofjabba December 2, 2010 at 9:10 am: Wow this Video is OLD!! That F250 is Soup Can By Now.
7 sonofjabba December 2, 2010 at 9:19 am: It’s like a Vacuum Cleaner. If you can use a Vacuum You can Use it.
8 sonofjabba December 2, 2010 at 9:34 am: LOL.. Look for the dude’s video of the Hoover Vacuum he used for snow removal. I would have been afraid of burning the house down.
9 Rohmell December 2, 2010 at 9:53 am: This type, as well as the paddle-type Toro snowthrowers will not clog up with slushy wet snow.
10 sonofjabba December 2, 2010 at 10:14 am: Never had that trouble.. If the snow was that bad I have my Big Ones to take care of any snow issues.
11 ravenchevalier December 2, 2010 at 10:44 am: you call that snow he he he .
12 Rohmell December 2, 2010 at 11:02 am: I have the gas powered version of this-these things work great!
13 blouie0 December 2, 2010 at 11:29 am: Was looking for information on “how” this thing would work/perform before buying. Thanks a lot!
14 sonofjabba December 2, 2010 at 11:58 am: Not really but it doesn’t throw the really heavy stuff far..
15 coondogtheman1234 December 2, 2010 at 12:17 pm: That little thing is neat will it clog in slushy snow like the big snowblowers do
16 capnvideo2006 December 2, 2010 at 12:35 pm: I was going to buy something like that but was told they are useless. Now I know they work! thanks lots
your Toro works good
17 The88drunkredneak December 2, 2010 at 1:19 pm: holy shit!!! 300$ for that mother fucker! I could get a used 4 stage 8 hp toto snow blower that works.
18 cpczernel December 2, 2010 at 1:45 pm: @ModernWarfeare2
About $300 US. You can order it from Amazon.com so I would think you can get it in the UK! Cheers!
19 ModernWarfeare2 December 2, 2010 at 1:52 pm: how much is it and can you get them in the UK
20 glk001 December 2, 2010 at 2:34 pm: I’ve got one toro 1800, and two electric toro snow throwers…But I’ll take the gas snow blower on the heavier stuff everytime…Both snow shovels and or throwers, have bearing noises, but each is a few decades old…The 1800 is still going strong, but simply put, can’t handle very deep snow without doubling your efforts…There’s simply no debating that…With my bad knees, wish my tractor never died…If your electricity is hydro supplied, the green aspect is an agruement that’s out the door..
21 cpczernel December 2, 2010 at 3:20 pm: After Winter Update: The toro 1800 performed very well this winter. My overall impressions are very good and I am quite happy with the purchase. Now that spring is here, I installed a 50-lb rated hook on a stud in my garage, and have the toro hanging on the wall for next year. Try that with a heavy gas unit. I’ll update more next winter. Thanks to everyone for your comments.

Sounds like you had a dud unit. Mine has lasted through at least a dozen snowfalls this season, ranging from light fluffy to wet and sloppy. In Holland Michigan we get heavy lake effect snow, likely very similar to Chicago. I’m not babying my toro either, and if the snow is dense and hard I just push right into it. Heavy packing snow will not throw as far as lighter snow, but hey that’s physics. Sorry to disagree but no way would I go back to manual shoveling after using thetoro
23 cpczernel December 2, 2010 at 4:21 pm: Status Update:
I’ve used this Toro 1800 Electric over many snowfalls so far this season. It has not yet failed to impress, even with 4-6 inches of wet sloppy snow. It also handles the snow at the base of the driveway when the snow plows come through but sometimes it takes me 2 passes to get to the pavement. All in all, it has performed admirably and has even earned the respect of my neighbors, all who have large gas powered units.
24 cgrscott December 2, 2010 at 4:43 pm: I’ll consider some gas alternatives. Some of the videos of the Toro 1800 Electric Snow-thrower look like a floor vac that has it’s roller brushes set to the lowest setting while vacuuming over the deepest shag rug.
25 cgrscott December 2, 2010 at 5:24 pm: I don’t have the room to store a gas powered snow thrower and I have a long heavy gauge power cord that would work with this unit. I felt like I was having a cardiac event, last time I was out shoveling, so I want to get something that can hurl the snow for me. I don’t get the heavy dumping that Chicago gets but thanks for your advise based on your experience.
26 cgrscott December 2, 2010 at 5:37 pm: Thanks for your comments. I’m self employed. I work out of my home and I can get to the snow when it is fresh, which is the only time this electric snow thrower works. I live in Northern Kentucky. We never get more than five inches of snow per storm and our storms are few.

Make sure you know what you are getting yourself into. I bought one and it was fine for 3-4 inches of the fluffy stuff, but when the real snow hit it was useless.
Living in Chicago, 60+ inches this year, my Toro gave out the second time I used it. Returned it and bought something more practical.
Personally, I would recommend a good $12 push shovel over this. JMO.
28 cgrscott December 2, 2010 at 6:40 pm: Nice video. I’m going to try to buy one of these before next winter.
29 iAmRenegadeX December 2, 2010 at 7:12 pm: Nice video!
