Toro 1800 vs Snow Joe 622
1712784
Feeling lucky the snow joe was backordered... There are quite a few reviews on the QVC site, and nearly half say the thing didn't work for more than a few minutes. Trying to cancel my order by getting a hold of True Value/Home & Beyond has also been a nightmare. I'd say the reputation of Toro with the peace of mind from ordering directly from Amazon is the way to go.

I have an 1800. I use a 12/3, for my 100' driveway. I live in the Northeast. I am very happy with this blower because it will throw the slushy and wet snow without clogging, my 2 stage gas powered 10 horse machine will always clog. In fact I find no need for the big gas powered thing, haven't touched it for about 4 years. I cannot tell the difference between the cords when I have used a 12/3 or 14/3 or 16/3. This is why I use a 12/3....Think of the electric cord as a "garden hose", and you are trying to force 120 gallons per minute through the hose. Which will be easier forcing 120 gallons through a 1/2" hose or through a 1" hose. The 1" because there is less resistance to flow because the inside of the hose is wider. So if the Toro 1800 is trying to draw 120 volts (household current), which will be easier?... through a 16/3 guage (small narrow cord) or the thicker 12/3 (wider cord). So that means your Toro 1800 won't be working as hard with the larger cord 12/3, and it will let the motor last longer. The draw backs are that the 12/3 is heavy at 100' feet in length. Also more "work" for the blower to draw current through 100' than it is across 50 feet. So I installed a lamp post with an outlet half way up my 100' driveway. Still trying to be nice to the electric motor so that it will last longer. Now with the lamp post, I use about a 60-70 foot "12/3 cord". My only other advice is try to make sure there are no rocks on your driveway. They have a habit of jamming in the auger, stopping the augers movement, while the electric motor is still trying to turn the paddle/auger. I did burn out a Toro 1800 motor this way.

That's your preference. With the battery-powered lawn mower, one additional season brought a more powerful mower on the market. Perhaps that will also happen with the snowblower and you might prefer the more powerful, and perhaps more technologically advanced, one.

I've never used the 25021 so I can't compare, but I'm really happy with the 25022. It has enough power to cut through some pretty rough growth, and obviously it will mow your lawn faster since the cutting diameter is wider. I've been really pleased with the cut--my lawn looks as manicured as a golf course when I'm finished.

I didn't buy it through Amazon but happened upon a positive review for the machine on Amazon. The machine I had was a piece of junk that could barely blow snow. Buy something more powerful, its worth every penny. Spend around $1,000 and read some reviews. I now have a Sears Craftsman (made by Husquavarna) 27" 305cc. Great machine!!!

between it and an edger, I'd go with the edger. However, when my edger broke I used the Toro with no problem. It has a guide which is helpful, but had a tendency to go off line. When that happens the edges were not as nice and straight as the blade edger. I think with a little work it would be an easy replacement for an edger.

I have both. They are about the same size. The 6302H has a 6.5A motor and it feels like it has much greater torque when driving screws. The 6302H has a metal casting at the front covering the gearbox (where the older 6302 had a plastic piece). The 6302H also comes with a keyed handle, shown in the picture, that grips slots the metal casting and allows two hand control to prevent you losing your grip if the bit binds. If I recall correctly, the older 6302 did not come with a handle, but has threaded holes (in the front plastic piece) for a stabilizer.

Absolutely. The 70-200 with a TC-2 isn't any better than the 70-300. I've owned both. The 80-400 is better than the 70-300 therefore better than the 70-200 with a tc. In good light its better than the 70-200 with a 1.4.

I have both, and I use them on a chainsaw and a cultivator. The 2AH can go up to 20 minutes of hard continuous use on either machine, and, obviously, the 4AH can double that time. But it's almost double the weight, too, so if you're going to do a lot of overhead limbing with the chainsaw, the lighter battery is the better choice. I am glad I have both.

It is inconsistent. you have to check the openings as occasionally you have to return because some come blocked. Just check it carefully. When you get a good line the information on the Toro website is correct. the 1/2 inch is better and more consistent.

Sorry, I don't know. I replaced the carburetor on my Toro snow blower by using my model # to cross reference. However, I did email a question to the supplier before I bought it and got an immediate helpful answer.

You will want to purchase a 12 gauge chord for this blower that can handle the amps. Amazon sells them. Search for US Wire 74100 12/3 heavy duty 100ft yellow extension chord. That's the one I use with my snow joe.

The measurement is about right, but you need to determine the part# from the Toro website. My previous snow blower was the CCR 3650 (have a newer model now which is a little wider) and my records show part# 55-8760 for the scraper, 56-6590 for the bolt (1), and 3296-39 for the nuts (2).

I think that this one is better. It has more Shimano parts and is lighter. Plus it's a 24 Speed and the Giordano Libero is a 16 Speed.

I have a 51702T which may be last years model and it fits perfect and does have a longer run time.I can't tell a big difference in power but it goes about twice as long on a charge.I use mine as a deck sweeper more than for leaves so I don't have to move stuff off the deck to sweep it with this blower.

The Torino is compact and only a 6100 and the Portofino is a 6600... Get the Portofino! More powerful. Hope this helps :-)
