Great for light snow
I used to think I would never care for an electric snowblower. That was until I used a friend's Toro 1800 Power Curve. For 6" or less of light snow it does a really good job. It's actually faster to get the power cord out, drag it around, and wind it back up than to get the gasoline one started after sitting all year. It's more powerful than the same size gas version. The friend claims she had hers for almost 20 yrs and never done anything to it. There's nothing to maintain and no gas motor to tuneup in the fall and winterize in the spring. Sometimes when it's below zero, the gas motor will not start. The electric one always runs. And, it's so light, I can hang it on the garage wall out of the way. I have a quad with a hydraulic snow blade. It's more hassle than the little electric blower. And I still have to shovel the side walk and next to the garage doors. The electric Toro is so light I can maneuver it wherever I need to. No shoveling anymore.
It does bog down in thick wet snow. We only get about one of those per in central Indiana. We only get about 5 snows total that are worth getting the blower out. So this little electric blower is perfect for that.
