24 x 23 inch (W x H) intake is ideal for clearing light to moderate snowfall. |
 OHV engine with electric start is designed for use in cold weather. View larger diagram. |
The PR624ES is powered by a reliable 208-cc OHV engine with standard speed drive that is designed for colder climates. There are two ways to start up the engine: electric or traditional recoil starting. Electric starting fires up the engine by using the included power cord connected to a standard 120-volt outlet and pressing the electric start button located on the engine. The engine will fire up without priming.The deep-tread 13-inch tires are powered for easy maneuvering over snowy terrain. The drive speed lever controls the snow thrower's speed and direction (forward/reverse). The traction drive lever allows the user to quickly engage or disengage the drive system.
Two-Stage Snow Removal Clears Deep Snow
With a wide, 24-inch x 23-inch (W x H) intake and two-stage snow thrower functionality, the PR624ES is able to throw snow more efficiently than a single-stage model. Two-stage snow thrower technology employs an auger with an additional impeller for greater efficiency--removing snow faster and throwing it farther. The adjustable skid plate allows for alterations to the height of the scraper bar for use on a variety of surfaces, including concrete, dirt, and ice.
The discharge chute and deflector are controlled remotely, allowing the snow to be directed away from the user and thrown at a chosen distance. An integrated tool facilitates quick cleaning of the discharge chute.
Conveniently Located Control Panel Allows for Easy Operation
The PR624ES features a convenient control panel for managing the various functions of the machine. Located between the comfortable handle grips, this panel allows the user to control the drive system's speed and direction, the deflector's angle and direction, auger operation, and engage or disengage the drive system--all within arm's reach.
The PR624ES weighs 240 pounds and uses a 12-inch diameter auger and 12-inch diameter impeller. It is backed by a two-year limited warranty.

By E. Pfeiffer (Ely, MN United States)
First, check your engine oil before starting. Mine had no oil but I was ready for that.
Otherwise, the minimal assembly is easy and obvious. The electric start worked
well. The machine was easy to guide. No snow yet to check out the throwing capacity.
I liked the price for that engine size and an all metal frame...no plastic parts.
...Now, if only winter would not appear this year.

If you look at the three dates for the reviews of this item that appear prior to this one you will note that they were made in the late summer or early fall. *Before* the first snowfall.
I bought this machine last year from a warehouse club that has a "no questions asked" return policy. It was terrific and easy to set up and looked great in my garage until the first snowfall.
The first time I took it out it worked great for almost the entire first driveway then the belt slipped off. It took me about 90 minutes to figure out how to get it to go back on. It really takes 2 people to fix. The next time I took it out, it happened again. I was able to fix it faster, but it was the same problem. This is not a fun thing to have to work on when you need to be shoveling snow so you can make it to work on time. The second time it happened I was really careful with repairing it. I made some adjustments and got the belt properly tight. Again the next time it slipped off. I took it back to the store and hired a guy to plow my drive the rest of the winter.
I got a real good look at the machine while I was fixing it and I'm not impressed. There is nothing there that speaks to quality craftsmanship, but an awful lot that says "slapped together with the cheapest parts that fit".
Buyer beware!

By RabbitsFoot (New York City)
This machine does an excellent job of filling the gap between the two-stage gas-powered behemoths and the small underpowered shovel-handle type electric snow throwers. I wanted something that would eat through enough snow and throw it far enough to clean my driveway and sidewalk, without the hassle of maintenance /storage of the gas powered machines. Where we live in the Northeast we only get 3+ inch snow fall a few times per year, and this machine is perfect for that. I've used the Snow Fox twice so far and it has performed superbly in about a foot of recent snow. True to spec, when it was set to throw straight, the range was a good 20ft. When set to right/left the distance shrunk to no more than 3ft, but this is perfectly acceptable for sidewalk cleaning when you want to just create a narrow path for pedestrians. I would recommend the straight setting for driveways.
The Snow Fox comes assembled and all that is required is to screw the handle to the base (with included easy-to-turn screws). This is simple enough and can be done in less than 3 minutes. Removing the handle is a good idea for storage and once removed, the Snow Fox takes up about as much room as one of those dorm-room refrigerators.
I do have a few minor gripes:
-The extension cord management device leaves room for improvement as it does not easily accommodate the larger gauge extension cord plugs.
-While the Snow Fox can take on more than 6" at a time, any piles greater than 12" will need multiple "shavings" to get the job done. The reason I don't take a star off for this is that the only kind of machine that can manage such piles would be the aforementioned gas powered behemoths. In any case, multiple passes with this machine is a lot easier on the back than doing so with a hand shovel. This is a you-get-what-you-pay-for kind of deal.
-The business end (blade) of the machine is made of plastic, and while it does a great job with freshly fallen snow, I would not try it on hardened or iced-over snow that typically forms the day after a snowfall. If possible, use this machine the day of the snowfall to preserve the blade.
I recommend the Snow Fox as a great niche-filler for those like me who do not want to mess with the gas variety (and don't want to spend thousands) but want more power and utility than a small snow thrower. As long as the plastic blade doesn't wear out during subsequent snowfalls I don't see why the Snow Fox wouldn't last me for years to come. If this doesn't turn out to be the case, I'll be back here, updating the review.

This little blower is a 'back' saver!! My driveway is uphill and I was able to blow it free of snow and ice!!
Great product. Higly recommended!

By KG (Rockville, MD USA)
I looked around at other small snow throwers and decided on this one for its light weight and small size (hangs on hooks on a pegboard in our garage). It is really perfect for the small snow falls that we typically get in the mid-Atlantic. We even got good use out of it this year despite the unusually snowy winter. It is very easy to use. Yes, it does have its limitations as other reviewers have noted. You need to use it when snow is no more than 4-5 inches. The left and right throwing angles don't project the snow very far (but the straight shot sends the snow well clear of where you need it to be removed from). Get a good extension cord. A Rigid brand extension cord was recommended to me in Home Depot and it was a good purchase - it doesn't get stiff in the cold. We really are happy we selected this and highly recommend it.

By P. Wylie (USA)
Product performs as advertised. Removes snow quickly and throws it a fair distance. Great for walkways, decks and small driveways. Only negatives are throwing to the side isn't as effective as throwing forward and the entrance for the snow is made of rubber so it wears away quickly. Overall unit is effective at half price of gas powered units.

By P. Brennan
I bought this for my 75 year old broter in law to help him clear his small driveway. It seems to work okay but it came with a key in the keyhole that we can't seem to remove. I e-mailed the company and they said that sometimes it's a little tight and to just pull on it. We tried and tried but couldn't remove it. I e-mailed again and they said again that sometimes its tight. Well it's not just "tight" it's welded in there. It works so we're not going to the trouble and expense of returning it. We don't want to break the key so we just leave it in there. Luckily there are no small children around. The machine seems to work okay - like others have said it shoots snow better when it's straight ahead. For the small area that he has, it's great.

I bought one of these for my house and my parents bought one shortly after as well. Both of us encountered the same problem. We both started using the 100 ft. 14 gauge (usually blue) power cords that we had purchased for our electric lawn mowers. Big mistake! Both my parent's snow thrower and mine caught on fire where the cord plugs into the snow thrower. I was able to unplug mine right away and it wasn't damaged. My parents were not so lucky and had to have theirs replaced. It works fine when using 16 gauge (usually orange) power cords. The snow thrower does a good job on light snow if it isn't too deep. If the snow is coming down hard you will have to plow after a couple inches because it won't work if the snow is too deep. It also has a hard time with moist slushy snow. Don't even try using it on the thick stuff that builds up after a snowplow goes down the street. For the price though, how easily it starts up, and the fact that you never need to buy gas or oil for it, it is a real bargain. Just be aware of its shortcomings and don't expect it to be able to compete with a good gas snow thrower that cost several times more money.

Items were specified BRAND NEW but when they arrived, they looked like they have been assemble and took apart. Missing parts and damage. Contacted customer service for replacements and when they arrived, same thing happened to one out of two replaced items, missing parts, damaged, etc.
I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED of my procuremnts and never recommanded anyone to buy from THIS VENDOR/AMAZON again.
Also, I bought other item (quantity of 4), amazon billed individually instead of combine the total.

I really like this Snow Thrower. The assembly was quick and easy. It took me about 10 minutes to get it ready to go.
My first use was in about 6 inches of snow and it did a pretty good job. The snow was so deep, though, that the thrower
had a little trouble clearing so I went over my driveway twice. A week later I had a 4 inch snowfall and the results were
much better.
I have to admit, it is a bit of a hassle dealing with the extension cord. But is is quiet and easy to maneuver.
I am very happy with it.

My old Craftsman Electric snowblower worked well for over 17 years, but it stopped working when I was 3/4 done with the first of 3 blizzards this past month. Parts were no longer available for my Craftsman, so I looked for an equivalent replacement. The Snow Joe arrived the day before the third blizzard and worked beautifully in clearing over 100 feet of driveway.

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. |
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.

Amazingly, it went so fast all the way to Sweden above the Arctic Circle with this shipment from the U.S.

I purchased this item as an alternative to shoveling because of a bad back. It was advertized as weighing 12.5 pounds it is closer to 25 pounds. If you have lumar problems don't buy it as you cannot lift it.

This is a pretty powerful item, cause it throws the snow about 30 ft. and it's hard to control. It is a Godsend compared to shoveling snow and is great for not hurting your back. The bad part is it is electric and the cord constantly comes loose.

I live in the DC area and had to use this item, just after purchase, to clear the results of the last two monster snowstorms we got this year (2010). With that much snow (in the 2 to 3 foot range, plus even bigger drifts and snow-plow created piles in front of the cars), don't expect this snow shovel to clear everything without a large amount of effort. Also, with snow at that level, you can expect to have to use a combination of a regular old shovel and the Toro shovel.
That said, this shovel works quite well if you persist at it, and is quite adequate by itself if the snow level is about 8 inches or less. As other reviewers have said, you have to be careful in which direction - and which angle - you point the thing, otherwise you will get a cloud of fine snow blowing back onto you. You should also make sure to get an electric cord that is rated for the amperage that this shovel requires, to be on the safe side.
Overall, this is a good buy if you have the typical townhouse unit space to clear (I have an end-unit TH with parking spaces for 2 cars - no garage). It won't work as effortlessly as a larger gas-powered snow blower, but then again, you won't have maintenance issues or have to shell out a lot of money for this handy little unit either.

I was disappointed. The only way this seems to work is on a very flat surface when there is only a little fresh snow. I could have just as easily used a shovel with less lifting.

I had dinner with my friend who is a licensed electrician and I asked him about the all new Toro Powercurve Snow Thrower, with it's increased 15 amp load. He said modern beaker boxes are designed for a 20 amp load on each breaker circuit. A dedicated circuit should not carry more than 80% of it's captivity, so the 15 amp load of the Toro PowerCurve 1800 should be in the safe range of an individual circuit and should not be a risk of throwing the breaker switch, as long as the Powercurve is plugged into a receptacle that is a dedicated circuit, not sharing it's load with other appliances in the house.
If you have a circuit just for your garage receptacles, you should not have a problem running the 15 amp Power Curve Snow Thrower off of it, as long as you are not trying to run your garage door opener at the same time.
Lord willing, once I have purchased the 2010 Toro 38381 18-Inch 15 Amp Electric 1800 Power Curve Snow Thrower, I'll share my experiences with this machine in this review post.

Like most here, I bought this blower before the Winter arrives. It was a birthday present from me to me, on behalf of my lower back which hurt a lot last Winter from shoveling the snow. At the store where I bought it (HD), the rep kept trying to convince me not to buy it since it wasn't gas and only a 1 stage blower. I can't buy a gas blower as I don't have a garage and the shed is far away from the street and house. Making an electric snow blower my only option if I am to avoid back pain. I also bought the 12 guage 100 foot extension cord to keep it chugging. Besides having to use the cord, I'm worried about how it will work with ice-snow and heavy snow. Those wheels will be a little tough to push in the show, but if I don't have to lift snow with a shovel, I will be satisfied. Yes, I know I have to run it every 8 inches, no problem there. I do this anyway year after year with a shovel as I don't ever want to wake up to 20 inches of snow on the driveway. I just hope it survives a few years. And if this insurance scares away most of the show this Winter, then it met its objective. Sometime this Winter, I'll update this review and post the results of this experiment.

Well - I also purchased early on - couldn't wait to sell my older model CCR1000 Toro - gas powered, and I did! I never got it to start during my winter months only twice last year - and it spent more time in the Repair shop than my use of it - so I said - I'm going electric ! My first purchase sent from the Toro mfg was disappointing - I received this model Toro - however - with missing parts!! Only 1 turn knob and missing washer & screw - incomplete packaging. Well - I had to call Amazon customer service and return the 1st unit sold me - and then they shipped me out another Toro 38381 18-Inch 15 Amp Electric 1800 Power Curve Snow Thrower - well the 2nd box shipment was totally complete with all parts and I was very happy. I also had no problems assembling the unit - as I also had read in an earlier review from someone else - I just followed the instructions step by step - and it was very easy to put together and with very little time. I'm a female and had no problems at all assembling it - actually a piece of cake! It's very light weight unit and easy to handle. I then ordered the matching recommended low temp cord with was displayed with this Toro model on Amazon website - and plugged it all together and tested the unit - it ran just fine. Make sure you read the instruction booklet totally to make sure that the cord is not damaged, so that it will not damage your new Toro Electric Snow blower. Well like the others, I'm waiting for the snow to arrive here in Chicago to totally test the unit and report back on my review. I'm just happy I have an electric snow blower that requires NO maintenance, no gas/oil, just plug and go, a lightweight model and to just be careful of the electric cord. I got the 100' ft - 14 gauge cord that was recommended - plugged into our 15 amp electric outlet in the garage - and it worked just fine. Now my next test is the snowfall here in Chicago - and it get's extremely nasty here. Well - will report back during snow season! At this point, I would definitely recommend this buy! Giving it 5 stars.. but let's report back during blizzard times!

I am now anxiously awaiting our first snowfall.NO MORE SHOVELING! the machine was well packaged (Mucho kudos to Toro for deliberately designing the packaging to be opened and used by one person). I had it assembled in about 10 minutes. I had no problem assembling the upper handle to the lower.I know this was an complaint of earlier owners. As to whether or not Toro fixed this problem, I don't know. All I know is the handle went on easy for me. Machine test-started immediately. Toro lives up to it's name again. I only gave it four because I have not used it in the snow yet. If I remember I will update after the first snow.

I owned a previous Toro 1800 model for probably 7 years (ending in roughly 2000-2001). I'd get my driveway cleaned faster and better than my neighbors using their gas units. But, after 7 years, my Toro finally had it and I decided to get me a gas/oil mix snow blower.
I ended up with two different gas/oil mix units over the past 9 years. One gas snow blower lasted 3 years (I paid about $500 for it). The next one lasted 6 years and is on its last leg (I paid $465) for it.
Now, I FINALLY get to go back to a BETTER Toro 1800 model than the prior model that I loved so much (AND IT IS STILL THE SAME PRICE I PAID FOR MY FIRST UNIT 17 YEARS AGO!). I'm not waiting to purchase this unit since it is only $299 with free shipping. No way am I waiting. This model has been around a long time. That attests to its popularity, reliability and greatness. It will clear 10 inches deep, no problem. I've cleared snow over 18 inches deep, no problem. It chews right through the white stuff and tosses it clear off the drive by up to 30 feet. Powerful for an electric unit. And this latest engine is even more powerful! Can't wait!
I have cleaned up slushy snow (off the street) with this unit in the past. Nice clear path along the curb so the mail person can easily drive up to my mailbox in the winter. As 'convenient' as a gas snow thrower can be (for the simple reason you don't have to watch out for an electric extension cord), I can't stand it when the engine jets crud up and I have to get the doggone gas unit 'tuned' for a $100+. I started straining my oil/gas mixture through my wife's used nylons (a mechanic told me that trick to keep the jets clean from impurities in the gas/oil mix) and that worked well for not needing any further tuneups. But, I always dreaded coming up to the next season 'wondering' if the gas unit would start, how it would idle, and how long it would last before dying on a heavy snowfall day. I NEVER HAD TO WORRY ABOUT SUCH THINGS WITH MY PAST TORO 1800 ELECTRIC SNOWTHROWER! It always started, always ran powerfully, and always did a better job cleaning the driveway than my gas/oil powered units.
So I AM BACK FOR ANOTHER ROUND WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE A MUCH IMPROVED VERSION (and the other model was already great)! I can't wait for snow to fall now! I'll be ready. I'll be thrilled. I'll be glad to be the ONLY ONE (AGAIN) in our neighborhood with this powerful electric snow thrower. My neighbors have purchased huge, powerful gas units. Man do they rev for 1-2 seasons. Then, I hear them chugging and choking (I know they don't filter their gasoline through nylon stockings) and then I see them loading these heavy gas hogs into their RVs for the semi-annual trip to the tuneup shop. I WILL NOT MISS THAT AT ALL. RELIABILITY, POWER, EFFICIENCY, CLEAN RUNNING, NO POLLUTION, ALWAYS STARTS, ALWAYS RUNS, WORKS LIKE A CHAMPION WORK HORSE, I AM NEVER GOING BACK TO THOSE MESSY GAS/OIL CHUGGERS EVER AGAIN. Not with this beautiful, electric, Toro back in my garage again (FINALLY - WELCOME HOME TORO!)
9/27/2010 - My new Toro arrived on Saturday (9/25/2010). Thanks for the quick shipment, Amazon. My new 100' 12-gauge extension cord arrived today (9/27/2010). Usually I don't look forward to winter. Now all I can say is: I'M READY - BRING IT ON!
