Snow is beautiful, but shoveling it isn’t. Clearing walkways and driveways of snow can be a huge hassle, and a dangerous task for the elderly and others with heart conditions. Amazon sells a neat little piece of equipment called the Toro 1800 Snow Thrower. The device runs off electricity, so you don’t have to hassle with gas or oil. It can clear 300 pounds of snow per minute, making it perfect for walkways, patios, and driveways. The Toro 1800 is light in weight at only a mere 13.5 pounds, making it usable by just about anyone. You can adjust the chute so the snow blows in any direction you choose.

I wholeheartedly recommend the Toro 1800. It is my snow blower of choice. As one person puts its,

“You just plug it in and go. No gas, no spark plugs, no oil, no tune up. I am often done before the neighbor has cussed enough to get his gas monster (with head lights) running. I have full confidence in this rig. “

The Toro 1800 Electric Snow Thrower is sold out at most retail stores, but can be had on Amazon.com for $299.99 with free shipping.
