With a 7.5 Amp motor, you'll clean snow off your yard quickly. View larger. | Fast, Effective Snow Removal with the Power Curve System
Avoid sore backs caused by shoveling and time wasted taking care of huge, complicated snow blowers. This compact electric shovel employs a streamlined auger drive system, which uses a single rotor with two curved blades to quickly and effectively move snow out of your way. With a snow-throwing capacity of 300 pounds per minute, you can clear four inches of snow off a 50-by-20-foot driveway in just 20 minutes. With a clearing width of 12 inches and a snow cut depth of six inches per pass, this Power Shovel will let you clean off walkways with a couple quick passes. And weighing in at just 13 pounds, this snow thrower can be lifted, turned, and twisted with ease. Compact and Easy to Maintain with Electric Power
With no gas or oil to burn through, no spark plugs to change, and no time-consuming tune-ups, this electric snow thrower is a cost-effective, eco-friendly option. Its ultra-compact size makes it easier to maneuver than big, gas-powered units, and it's easier to store, too. Exceptional ease of handling makes the small, versatile Toro Power Shovel ideal for spaces like balconies, decks, and staircases. When you do want to clear a larger area, you'll appreciate the surprisingly powerful nature of this lightweight machine. It features a series-wound 7.5 Amp motor, which is designed to produce high torque at lower speeds, making it a perfect choice for snow-throwing. The cord lock system eliminates one of the potential downfalls of using electric products by ensuring your extension cord is reliably locked in place. And with electric power, this snow thrower is easy to start up, even on the coldest days, so you'll never have to worry about the frustration of dealing with a pull cord. 
The shovel has an adjustable handle. | Adjustable, Ergonomic Features to Keep You Comfortable
A telescoping handle lets you adjust this snow thrower to fit your height. The height and angle of the operating handle are adjustable too, so you can truly customize the way this tool fits in your hands. This snow thrower is backed by a full two-year warranty. What's in the Box

 BUY IT! December 21, 2007

It's embarassing to say this, but when you try this out,make sure that it's right side-up. I had it reversed, and actually was going to return it until my wife showed me how to use it correctly! It does throw snow up to 25 ft. There are 2 competetive products on the market. One of them (I think by MTD) has a higher amperage. However I chose this model due to it's light weight. I strongly recommend buying low-temperature cable for use with these electric snowblowers. 16 guage is sufficient for this amperage. You want something that remains real flexible in the cold. !4 guage is really too big ,and 12 is out of the question. By the way...I live in Syracuse N.Y...if it works here it will work anywhere.

This product was purchased for my 82 yr. old mother who has back problems and can't shovel snow. Living in Indiana shoveling snow is a part of the winter season. She has used the shovel several times since receiving it and has only good things to say about it. She is most impressed with the ease of use and the thorough cleaning the shovel does and that she does not have to lift and toss the snow after it is on the shovel as in past years. We would recommend this Toro Power Shovel to anyone with back problems and a willingness to shovel when there is not more than 2" on the walk.

Ready to go out of the box. The unit can be a bit misleading with how to properly operate it. From the primary picture here at amazon (look at the second picture, this is the position in which the unit should be operated) and the lack of a picture in the owners manual, you can easily (as I experienced) have the unit upside down when trying to operate it. If you do this, you'll experience what the 1 star review says happened to them. Snow everywhere. Once I figured that out and flipped the unit right side up, this little thrower has plenty of power and chews right through the snow on my deck. It doesn't appear to scratch the deck either. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
Great little machine! December 17, 2007

I recently purchased the Toro Snow Shovel/Broom and I think it is great! I don't have to mix oil and gas or worry about having gaoline on hand because it is electic. It cleared about 4" of snow right down to the pavement. Even works on the icy mix, just be careful when using it on ice because it shoots 20-30' in the air and could land on a neighbors car or yard or something else. I cleared my driveway with it and am very pleased with the performance. The safety feature on the handle is a little tiresome until you get used to it. Would be even better if it had a directional snow shoot. For those who say they got a face full of snow...try going in the opposite direction so that the wind is behind you. I believe it is well worth the money!

i ordered the toro on 12/11/07 and it arrived on 12/14/071 just in time to use it during a major snowstorm on 12/16/07. i cleaned my deck with it twice and it has already earned the purchase price. it cleaned my deck down to bare after about 4" of snowfall. it took me about 10 minutes to learn how to manuever it effectively. i highky recommend it for cleaning off decks with no damage to the deck. i have noticed that the selling price has crept up a bit since i bought it but it is still a bargain, especially since local stores are already selling out of snow removal equipment!
