The Toro Power Clear 18-inch is a single-stage gas snow blower with a 518cc engine and push-button electric start. Its rubber paddles clear snow and pull the machine forward, so you mostly steer it. It suits short driveways and walkways that get light to moderate snow, and it folds down for garage storage. Against two-stage rivals it is lighter and simpler, but it throws less far and handles deep or icy banks poorly.

Owners of Toro single-stage blowers generally praise the easy starting and the way the rubber paddles clean down to the surface. Complaints center on the limited throw distance and the machine bogging down in wet, heavy or plowed snow.
The Toro Power Clear 518 ZE is a single-stage, gas-powered snow blower with an 18-inch clearing width. It is meant for small driveway and walkway jobs on concrete and asphalt. It can clear a driveway that parks up to 9 cars, in snowfall of 2 to 9 inches at a time.
A rotor with curved rubber paddles (Power Curve Technology) propels the machine and shreds through snow. It is designed to reduce clogging. Electric start lets you begin by pushing a button.
A chute lever mounted on the machine controls where the snow is thrown. A locking deflector lets you adjust the throw direction by hand. The design is compact, and the chute folds for easier storage in the garage.
