I've years of applicable industry experience, I'm composing this review from the perspective of the average somebody in the market whose swamped by new mower options, trying to choose one that's right for them.

I'm asking questions that you should be asking yourselves of practicality and suitability. I'm also giving my answers to those questions (re this particular Toro mower) as the basis for this review.

For most people they won't get something that ticks every box but a small compromise can lead to something that's an overall winning produ...Read more

Easy Start and that's just the Start.
4 adjustable wheels (not sure why yet?)
Anyway someone's really thought about mowers and made this one.
Purchased 22/02/2020 after a Victa I bought died on the first use. So upgraded to Toro based on reviews. Powerful motor and great catch/ mulch. The personal pace is very good after several self drive others I've owned, because it goes with you and backs off when you stop walking or back up - its a push mechanism incorporated in the handle not a separate lever if you know what I mean. Anyway check it o...Read more

Today was my first time with my new mower. Having trundled my trusty Victa around for years, I was looking forward to using a mower that took itself up the steep slopes on part of my block. To be fair, that part worked really well and was exactly as described.
The problem was the dust. This is Australia so it tends to be dry, however, we have had a fair amount of rain lately so I wouldn’t describe the lawn as dry, more green and lush than anything. However, the mesh construction of the grass catcher meant that I was immediately inhaling dust a...Read more

Bought this a year ago and was initially impressed. Engine starts easily, weird control system, its big, heavy and not the easiest to use in tight areas, but did a good job of mowing on a hilly 1 acre block. Got really ugly when a small bit of stick got picked up in the drive belt, via a shroud that is supposed to but doesn't protect the belt or associated pulleys. Locked up in the pulley above the self-drive gear box. Shredded the pulley, gear box is sounding and feeling knackered and I'm still figuring out how I can get the whole setup apa...Read more

I bought this mower from bunnings for $649.

Assembly was easy however the instructions provided where poor. They were poor quality pictures with no written instructions. They were not model specific but generic for most of their mowers. This created some confusion. I could not start the mower initially and on further inspection noticed the spark plug was not connected. I did not see this in the assembly instructions. Once connected it started first pull.

In regards to its mowing abilities:
I have a large yard and hilly backyard which ...Read more

Got this Toro mower because my neighbor has one and hi Toro works great.
I had to choose between the Toro 780 $ or cheap unit of 350$
I bought mine Toro less then a year ago and have been back to shop 6 times

I think i have been very patience with Toro by going back and forward for 6 times now I brought it back and would like to have my money back or a Toro that works.
I think it is unbelievable companies can work this way totally no service ...Read more

I had read reviews, crawled over mower shops, spoke to friends, looked at web sites for almost a year and then purchased a Toro recycler 22" personal pace electric start. I have now had this mower for a year. I must 1st say that an electric start is a wonderful thing. With the engine stop lever that must be released to remove the catcher bag, reaching down and pushing that start button is so satisfying.

I am 72 years old and an ex smoker with the usual lung problems. What used to defeat me was the cord start. No more. And to make it e...Read more
