Toro TimeMaster (30") Personal Pace® Self-Propelled Lawn Mower w/ Electric Start

It was amazing and everyone loves it! Seriously it's a very nice, solid lawnmower!

Let me begin by saying I purchased this specific mower because I've used older versions of the exact mower. I've used this 4 times now. I have to stop and fill the tank before completing the mow - I never had this issue with the previous mower. This mower will not start after the fill-up. It must cool down or sit for awhile. I believe its getting too much fuel and appears to be flooding - a new mower and it needs to be serviced. I will not go this route ever again.

This is a great mower and small enough for my wife to handle in a large yard. It is not too large like the commercial variety self propelled mower, but is still large enough to have an ample cut and save mowing time and seems to be very durable. The electric start is great! I have had it for about 1 month and only have one suggestion for the next model. Larger fuel tank!

I just got mine and this thing is beast! Cut my mowing time in half. The personal pace is nice and the grab handle is necessary for the hills in my yard, but it handles them with ease. If used at full speed you have to run behind this mower. This is a loud mower when the blades are engaged. Sound like a jet...awesome!

This mower works great, easy to use and has the features you use with 2 wheel adjustment, key or pull start, bagging or mulching and compact storage with handle lifting up. The engine seems to have plenty of power and the personal pace self propelled feature is the best I've used. It easily moves the mower and it's able to keep up with out killing power to the blades.

I have been extremely impressed with this mower. It is expensive, but the 30" cut has nearly halved the time I spend on my relatively flat 1 acre lawn. This has plenty of power and is very easy to use. I bought this with the striping tool and my lawn has never looked better. I have always been a fan of Toro, especially the Personal Pace feature and their excellent mulching ability. My one small complaint so far is that the gas tank is small and I cannot finish my lawn on 1 tank, it has to be refilled before the job is completed.

I really like this mower and it exceeds all of my expectations!

It cuts through some pretty tall and thick grass. The new more pwerful engine is definitely a plus!! But whatever the height of the grass it seems to miss random blades of grass, which requires a second or sometimes third pass. I would think paying $1000 for a walk behind mower that you would not have that kind of problem.

I've owned Toro lawn mowers for decades. When my older Personal Pace finally quit I went with the 30" TimeMaster. The 30" cutting width is a great feature. The mower has plenty of power cutting grass. I have yet to see the engine work hard on the tallest or wettest of grass though I avoid those situations as much as possible. Love the ability to stop the blades without having to shut off the engine when emptying the bag. Starts very quickly. Charges easily.

The negatives are that the gas tank is just too small. I have to fill up twice mowing less than 1/2 acre of grass. The blue sponge inside the tank is partly to blame but the tank is simply too small.

Power: The engine has plenty of power but the drive system struggles uphill and slopes with or without a full bag of grass. The drive system seems to be the Achilles heel for this mower. If you're moving a relatively flat lawn area with minimal incline the drive system is sufficient.

I would give this mover 5 stars across the board if the gas tank was larger and the drive system was more capable on inclines.

At age 69, this was my second lawn mower purchase. The first one is still running and will be in use in rough areas. By today's standards it is a brush mower, non self-propelled, 24 inch cut.

The Toro 21200 adds 6 inches to the cut and is a modern mower by anyone's standards. My yard is less than an acre, mostly flat, without many obstacles. After a lot of thought, I selected this model, and it seems to be just what I needed.

The twin 15 inch blades turn at an RPM level that produces a really good cut. I will likely mow mostly in mulch mode. It should be great for leaves. I presently don't need the electric start, but got it in case starting becomes a problem down the road.

Although some had called it underpowered in the past, the bigger displacement engine for this year seems more than adequate. I haven't had any need for a trim mower so far by man handling in the tight turn-arounds and ditches. This might be a problem for someone without much upper body strength.

Great machine! Mulches great! So far starts right away every time. Love most everything about it but like others have noted and manual says you should avoid cutting if grass is wet especially if you're cutting high grass. I sprayed the deck with Mo-Deck to help grass not stick to deck before I used it. I also clean the deck after every use.

If you follow the Toro manual you will enjoy this machine. One con is the price, really should be around the 500-600 dollar range but I sold my old machines so that's what I paid. Also it is on the louder side once blades are engaged similar to a riding mower.
