Toro Recycler® (22") 190cc Briggs & Stratton Personal Pace® Lawn Mower

Value!

I've purchased a 21 inch Toro model 20055, 5 years ago and still going strong. Since I live in Orlando, Fl. I mow about 10.5 months a year. I haven't had any problems with it and I mow for a full hour every week! I do oil the wheels and grease the rear ones once a month. Every 6 months change the engine oil and store it inside a shed. Would like to see a lighter mower, like a plastic housing similar to Honda and grease fittings on the front wheels. The self-propell personal pacer option is GREAT!

No Satisfaction From Company On Performance

No power, motor too small, bogs down & quits if grass is even slightly long. Had it in shop 4X for not starting.
Phoned company & got a lot of double talk about my concern & they said it was policy not to do anything or give credit towards a better machine. Do not purchase from HOME DEPOT as once they have your
$$$ they don't want to see you again & Toro Inc. is no help.

Old Toro Broke

We are enjoying our new mower it is so easy to use and was really easy to put together. We will order from here again if needed.

Bad Rear Wheels.

Third set of rear wheels on two year old mower. Metal axle gear wears down plastic wheel before the end of a season.

Perfect

I have noticed alot of complaints, I myself had no problem. Most of the cutting complaints seem to be on cutting (either to high or wet).
Mine is great!!!

Personal Pace Great, Rear Drive Quality Poor

The Personal Pace feature works as advertised, walk faster and it goes faster. Like many others, the rear drive has issues mainly related to plastic gears on the rear wheels and plastic bushings on the rear axles. Everything wears out after about 3 seasons. As it wears, wheels lock up when you try to pull the mower backwards, though the forward motion is relatively unaffected. Will only mulch well with dry, shorter grass. I don't even try to mulch in the spring, though I do cut at lower, mid level setting. Bags ok, won't pick up larger twigs/sticks. My recommendation, go with the higher level Toro, metal gears, etc. should be much more reliable. If you only bag go with a Snapper Hi Vac (still have my 22 yr old Hi Vac, which I use occasionally for clean up and a work out!) or the Toro Super Bagger.

Toro 22" Recycler Mower

This rear wheel drive has given me nothing but trouble since I bought it. The gears on the inside of the wheels are plastic and the gears on the axle are metal. That is about all that needs to be said. Bought 2 new wheels and gears for $90.00 and did not even last one mowing. Worst mower I have ever had and will never buy another one. Only 2 years old and have to junk it. Really cheap mower for what u pay for.

Almost Runs By Itself

I Love My Mower... I Had Bought Two; It Almost Runs by Itself.

El Toro!!-lol

Bought a house in Tucker, Ga. without a lawn mower, in October 2011. Well, have the old oak tree so large (approx-150yrs old) LOL, come dead of winter 2011, the leaves in my front lawn were so deep that raking them was a big waste of time. Fed up with the leaves, went and purchased a Toro model 20332. Never saw a lawn mower grind those no rent paying oak leaves to mulch. Don't even have to bag them. So if your not plowing the lower 40, are cutting grass that's 5ft. tall, this will make your mulching enjoyable. Thank's Toro Company, for putting this machine on the assembly line.
