TORO Personal Pace Walk P

 (9 customer reviews)

I've had this mower for about six weeks and I am really impressed with it. Previously I used a Snapper Hi-Vac that I didn't think performed very well. I like that this mower is pull and go, meaning it starts on the first pull with no choke to mess with and there is no engine speed to set. The Personal Pace self-propelled system is awesome, I couldn't imagine going back to one without that. The take-off's and stops are very smooth, and it truly does adjust to your walking speed.

I have only used the mulching feature on the mower, which I think works really, really well - especially for a single blade system. I tend to mow fairly often and at a fairly high setting but my lawn is thick tall fescue so there is plenty of grass being processed. I will say that occasionally on turns where I lift the front tires that small clumps of grass can appear but it doesn't happen too often. The cutting is even, and it does a great job even with minimal to no overlap. My snapper was...Read more

The quality of cut is below what I've come to expect from my commercial mower - but hey, this only cost 1/25th of what it did. After a month of owning it and running it near 60 hours, it seems reliable. Starts 75% of the time on the first pull and always by the second. The drive belt chatters some if the grass is juicy and collects on the belt. It does a near flawless job in Tall Fescue, but leaves stragglers and obvious wheel tracks in Kentucky Blue Grass. The bagging system seems to work well. I mainly use it in mulching mode - or, if the grass is tall, discharge mode. It cuts best with the front of the deck set to your intended cutting height and the rear set higher by one notch. And, speaking of tall grass, it does a pretty good job cutting tall grass (6-8") at the highest wheel setting (4" on this mower) compared to other 22" mowers I've had. I tried switching the blade to the Gator #96-607 blade, which doesn't really improve the quality of cut, but it does seem to last...Read more

Purchased Mower 5-19-2010 from local dealer and had problems from the start. The mower would stop on me when mowing; I set the mower to mulch. It does not like to mulch. So it would stop and you could not get it restarted for house after it had been running for 15-20 minutes. Took this mower back to the dealer numerous times and they could or would not do anything about it. Contacted Toro and it was totally useless. All Toro and the dealership cares about is that they have your money. Everything ends ones the sale is completed. This is true at the dealership as well Forsyth Mower, Winston Salem. The only way for me to use this mower is the side discharge and keep the grass cutting lever at the midway point or higher or it will choke up and cut off. I had owned the Toro Super Recycler 20007 in the past which worked wonderful at mulching and I never had a problem but forget it with the 20332. I am stuck with the mower to only mow with the side discharge as I do not bag my grass...Read more
