Toro 38360 Power Shovel Plus

Pros: Highly portable, surprisingly capable, light, electric operation means no gas to bother with.

Cons: Unable to aim output, Won't handle extreme snow, electric means cords.  Power switch=sore fingers.

The Bottom Line: If you are willing to accept the fact that it's not a $1000 snowblower at a $120 price point, you're apt to love the little Toro Power Shovel!

Review: After our last (Brutal) winter I swore I was going to get a snowblower this year, but of course we didn't get around to it - it's easy to forget a brutal winter after a beautiful summer.  So, when I went hunting for one at the last second before a ...

Pros: Powerful, manuverable, and faily light weight.  No gas engine to maintain.

Cons: No control over direction snow is thrown.

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended.  Throws snow 15 - 20'.  Electric motor light, no maintenance, and very manueverable.  A great device for urban areas.

Review: Having moved from a rural town in NH to a town bordering Boston, I've found it a bit amusing to see all the large gas powered snow blowers for driveways the length of 2 cars. An old time Yankee myself, I knew the power of a push broom and frequent but ...

Pros: Ease of use, lightweight, easily moves light powdery and even wet snow, two-year warranty.

Cons: Can move some wet snow and slush. Motor struggles the wetter the snow gets.

The Bottom Line: Easily moves light powdery and some wet snow. Must have access to three-prong electrical plug. Lightweight, easy to use. Had to return first unit, but second OK. Two year warranty!

Review: Update as of January 3, 2006: In my original review I stated that based upon opinions from my parents, that this blower does not handle wet snow very well. This morning I had the opportunity to snowblow my deck, which had about 1 1/2 inches of slush, ...

Pros: powerful lightweight well built easy to use and store inexpensive do all most everything.

Cons: not a wide cut as the full size snowblowers, doesn't eat all city dumptruck pilings.

The Bottom Line: Lightweight and great for sidewalks and storage! O.K. for small driveways if you have the time and price are difficult. Easy price! may need shovel to clear city dumptruck piles.

Review: Growing up in NW WI with a block long driveway I drove a cub cadet tractor and blower and spent many years fighting with chains, belts and then having to shovel afterwards too! I couldn't decide on the blower, I should have kept the Honda my wife ...

Pros: Acceptable in light conditions

Cons: Terible design. The rotor pulley and the plastic case melt together bicause the friction.

Review: Relative efficient in fresh, dry snow, not more than 2-3 inches. Terible durability. After one winter, the belt sprocket and the cylinder case melted together, and of course, you cannt find any spare parts. Do something ...

Pros: None

Cons: There is every reason to not buy this product. It won't blow snow.

The Bottom Line: This product does not do anything except grind the snow around under the rubber blades, and does not blow the snow away.

Review: I just spoke to a manager at Home Depot in Rockland, Me. and told him what a lousy product the electric snow shovel was, that I recently bought at his store. It doesn't blow snow at all. It literally has no power. I owned an electric snow shovel made ...
