Toro Snowblower 38381: 1800 Power Curve Electric Review

The Toro 38381 updates the popular 1800 Power Curve line with a 15-amp motor, larger 6-inch wheels, ergonomic handle, and improved chute control (lever + zip deflector). At 25 lbs, it clears 18-inch paths, throws snow 30 feet, and moves 700 lbs/min.

Upgrades from 38025

• Larger motor (was 13 amp).
• Bigger wheels (better traction).
• Cord lock (prevents unplugging).
• Redesigned belt (addresses breakage complaints).
• Lift handle for transport.

Best For

Light to moderate snow (up to 12 inches), paved driveways, decks, patios. Not for heavy/wet snow, ice, or gravel. Gas two-stage models suit severe conditions.

Verdict

Well-rated predecessor (4/5 stars). Upgrades target real user pain points. Solid choice for typical suburban snow removal.
