TORO 22in. FWD Recycler Mow

 (10 customer reviews)

I've used it several times now and I'm very satisfied with the mower.

Rear Wheel Drive: Works well with the pressure assist handle. The harder you're pushing the faster the wheels turn. It helps on the big hills.

Clean Out Feature: Attach the hose and let the blades clean out the under carriage. Works very well and helps motivate you to keep the mower clean.

Mulching: Works great. I slow down through the tall grass and it doesn't leave any piles behind. I plan to use mulch almost exclusively.

Engine: Started up when I wasn't even pulling hard. I was just working the oil into the engine and it kicked off...very easy start. I used it in very deep grass the other day and it had plenty of power to chop through the worst of it.

Side chute: Attached it the other day going through a large section of very wet/muddy, very tall grass. Probably should have weed whacked it but I don't have one yet so I mowed. It was a mess. The wheels were...Read more

This has been a nightmare. I bought the Toro self propelled mower TWO months ago and on the 4th (FOURTH) use, the engine died. The repairman tells me the engine needs to be replaced, and after numerous emails to Toro, they will not honor the warranty, will not help with repair and will not credit my money. They tell me that even though the oil was FULL and NEW when I bought it, that I failed to change the oil (remember, I only used it 4 times) so it's MY fault. Do yourself a favor and don't buy this or any TORO ... I will NEVER buy a TORO again.

I have owned this "guaranteed to start" mower for over a year and must say it is my worst purchase (I admit I never bought a Yugo) since I've been mowing lawns. It never, and I do mean never, starts if you turn it off once the engine is hot. You must let it cool down and wait around an hour or so. I've snapped the pull cord twice and the gas cap vibrates loose and falls off the machine. I am ready to ressurect the mower I bought from Walmart 20 years ago for $88. It was much more dependable and never needed a repair until I bent the blade shaft by running over a sewer cleanout, rendering the machine "unfixable".
