My verdict

“This is definitely a high quality mower and the price shows. There's other options out there, but if you want to buy a mower once, I would probably buy this Toro.”

What I liked

“The cut quality of this mower over the previous all-electric mower that I've been using blew me away.” 5:06
“Overall build quality is a 10 out of 10 between the steel deck, the self-propelled, ability to fold it up and the wheels.” 8:06
“It does a lot better job in sensing when you're getting to higher grass, revving up the motor.” 5:51
“If you want to mulch your yard you don't have to insert an attachment. It's built in right to the top of the deck.” 8:06
“It folds up… it makes storing it in your garage a lot easier. This will also fit easy in a small shed as well.” 6:36
“The personal pace system here is a lot more smooth… whereas the older version would get stuck in several places.” 3:20

What I didn't like

“One thing that I didn't like about this mower is how the self-propelled didn't work unless the mower was turned on or the blades were spinning.” 7:21
“Because this is a larger 22 inch deck and it is also a steel deck it is a little bit heavier.” 5:06
“Other all electric mowers that I've tested in the past come with a larger 7.5 amp hour battery.” 8:51
“You can't take a battery from a different brand and put it in your Toro mower.” 8:51

Worth knowing

Runtime: “Cutting my a roughly quarter acre with this battery you can see I'm down to one bar on this 6 amp hour battery and that was using the self-propelled almost the entire time.” 8:51
Context: “Toro was kind enough to send me this mower to review for you guys even though they sent me this mower my opinions remain my own.” 0:09
After one season: “Overall, everything with this mower after one year of use is like I expected it to be, almost brand new… Nothing has gone wrong with this thing. No noticeable battery degradation.” 4:28
Runtime after one season: “I have a little less than a quarter of an acre lot, and that includes the house… I can cut the yard twice, easily, probably about two and a half times on one charge.” 3:05
Battery door: “Something that I thought was a little flimsy in my first review was this battery hatch here. I've had absolutely no issues with this whatsoever.” 1:48
