Toro Power Shovel : Toro Power Shovel

Toro Power shovel is inexpensive and easy to use. Its compact design can easily clear driveways and steps covered with light to medium snow.

The Toro Power shovel is an inexpensive, efficient, and lightweight electric snow remover. Removing snow from your driveway can be painful backbreaking work. Well not anymore I am glad to report. This electric power snow shovel easily removes wet or dry snow and can clear driveways quicker and with less effort than any manual snow shovel. What used to be exhausting back breaking work to remove wet heavy snow from steps, decks, driveways, sidewalks, etc. is now a breeze. What usually took hours, now only takes minutes, of course without all the hard work. It’s a Godsend, and one heck of a snow removal power shovel.

The Toro Power shovel is inexpensive when compared to other conventional snow blowers. The best part, the Toro Power Shovel is such a reliable power snow remover . It starts every time I need it, without effort. Maintenance is easy; does not need gas, oil, tune-ups, repairs and any other costs associated with owning a snowblower. The unit is very well built with heavy duty impact resistant plastic, metal casing, and a powerful 7.3 amp electric motor. The motor is electrically double insulated for safety. So you need to just add the extension cord of your desired length. My recommendation is to opt for a 150 foot cord of at least 14 gauge. This will give you the most flexibility in the distance that you can shovel snow.

The unit can remove impressive quantities of both dry and wet snow. Specs say that it can remove up to 300lbs per minute.. wow, that’s 1800lbs per hour. Looking at the device, you may initially be skeptical that such a compact and lightweight tool can move so much snow. Believe me, even after over half a dozen major snow storms, the Toro Power Shovel will not let you down. Moreover, during test, the Toro power shovel was easily able to even handle the removal of snow which had partially melted and then refrozen again without taxing the powerful electric motor at all.
