This Toro model literally runs circles around my Poulan riding mower. Once you get used to the hand lever controls, it's a snap to maneuver. The only down side was trying to get the mower out of its crate. The instructions from Toro did not work as advertised and I had to make some ramps from the removed wood to roll the mower out of the crate. The Toro engineers should rethink the removal process or provide ramps.
As an aeronautical engineer, I pride myself on being able to figure out complex processes but uncrating this mower took over two hours after I deduced that, using their instructions, the mower's rear wheels would be trapped between two 2X3's. I read that another buyer used a sawz-all to extract his mower but, lacking this power tool, I had to be more resourceful.
All in all, Mowers Direct was a pleasure to do business with and I will be looking to them for future accessories.
