I have been using their 60V snowblower this year, WOW, a beautiful machine, so quiet, I will be getting this lawnmower!!! Thanks for the great video 😎
I purchased the mower and did my first cut in late March. Very impressed with the run time and cut quality 👍🏽
I have two of these lawnmowers,they work very well.Personal Pace is the best of self propelled systems.It goes when you go,it stops when you stop.
This mower does have a few issues that I would change-the wires hanging off the handle is a problem waiting to catch on bushes etc.I wish the wheel height adjustment was a single point lever.Those wheel adjustment mechanisms are prone to rust and bending.And I wish the wheels had ball bearings,it would glide better with less wear of the drive belt.But no lawnmower is perfect,so I’ll settle for a few issues to have a powerful and strong battery mower that cuts through the thickest grass.
Thanks for the excellent review of the Toro 60v cordless lawnmower. I just purchased one and after using it several times I am very impressed with the cutting/mulching of the grass and the run time. I plan on buying the Toro 60v cordless snowblower to use as my main unit keeping my gas snowblower as a backup.
The Toro snow thrower with rubber paddles literally pulls me through the snow.Its an amazingly powerful unit.I interchange the batteries from my mower to the snow blower with no problems.
Great mower the only 2 negatives are the charge time for the battery in 2.5hrs it will mow about 2/5 acre. The other is you have to adjust all 4 wheels for mow height. Other than that it's better than most mowers I've tried.
The you did the POV sound test - the electric seems like a higher pitched sound than the gas mower- but its certainly quieter from a distance.
You did a very good explanation about it... everything sounds great but I notice it didn't look like it was cutting grass only leaves...
I use that exact mower it’s so nice that it is quiet and I also use a Toro battery weed whacker and leaf blower and again there so quiet
WOW what a job . I will buy this on when they come to the stores .This is a new model for 2022 1/10/2022
Great job on the demo! I am deciding between the Tori 60v (22 inch) and the Stihl RMA 510v (21 inch) self-propelled.
I just bought one today I'm glad to hear you think it's a good mower. I had my eye on a Honda gas mower and i was very apprehensive about going electric
How do you like it? I have a 22 inch toro recycler from 2014. I would like to get into an electric mower but not sure what to get.. I have about 0.3 acres to mow (takes just under an hour).
@@scupking what did you end up getting?
@@roeazy Nothing yet but most likely the green works 21 or 25. The battery lasts much longer, fast charging and extra batteries are much cheaper.
@@roeazy Picking up the green works pro 60v gen II self propelled today! On sale for $499.
great overview... my neighbors just bought electric movers.. I just invested $100.00 in my 11 year old Honda mover....
Good investment, as long as the deck is in good shape.
I like the 60 volt platform ... I went with the #21357 model. It too is self propelled, it however has the traditional self propell bail lever you pull up from the bottom. It also has "more traditional wheels". My neighbor has one like in the video, the wheels are more aggressive, and isn't really needed and about 40 minutes of run time. The #21357's traditional wheels don't have the traction, does the job and with the 5 amp battery runs for about 50 minutes, with the 7.5 amp battery just over 70 minutes ... wheels are the only difference if you get down to it. The more aggressive wheels take more power to operate with. The personal pace, I don't care for it, it works great ... but the mower gives the impression of always wanting to run away from you.
For someone with a lot of grass to cut, many hours weekly during the peak season, 40 or 50 minutes of cutting time doesn't cut it. Neither does several hundreds of dollars for each extra battery you'll need to do do your job.
I have the toro battery mower and lately after I use it and clean out the bag and go to restart the mower it will beep 14 times and won’t run
I have had the Toro 22" 60v. I was hoping I would like this lawn mower but I don't. It doesn't pick up grass clippings well and now it is making a squeaking noise from the drive wheels and it's only going on the 3rd year. I have a small yard. I'm considering going back to another Honda gas lawn mower which I had for almost 20 years.
In comparison to the Honda's performance and its performance it sounds like it's fan blade needs to be adjusted more to suck stronger it also sounds like it needs at least about roughly 750 RPM more Overall between The Choice of buying a a cordless mower I'd rather just build my own It would be able to run a lot longer than 40 minutes Is to be competitive to compete with doing lawns a mower needs to be able to at least go for 3 hours on one battery For maximum performance it needs to go 5 to be commercial per battery
I would have liked to see the gas mower go through the leaves. Plus it is hard to tell how much grass you actually cut. I watched a couple Times and doesn't seem like you cut much.
I've had toros gas mowers for 20 years. They have held up well, some repairs but that's expected. Neighbor has this mower, his issue can't do lawn on one battery charge. I've estimated our lawns at about 7,800 sq ft. My lawn takes about 40 to 45 minutes. I don't see side discharge? If this is strictly mulch or bag I'll pass. Our garbage won't take clippings so you have to take them somewhere wasting gas and time. My toros never mulched very well thus need side discharge.
My battery dies fast now lol taking this pos back
Well I will say these battery mowers may have some purpose but overall these mowers don't even compare to their gas counterpart. I do own the newer 60v Toro and after a year of ownership defintely regretting buying for my application, they just don't have the power to create suction that helps lift and cut the grass evenly. I think on a perfectly sculpted lawn with no dips or bumps, these could be a good solution or a very small yard but for most lawns you can invest in a gas mower , much cheaper and achieve have much better results. My comment is not to bash Toro cause its a really nice product, it's just not a replacement to gas in most cases. Personally I think the main advantage is cutting the grass early without annoying neighbours.
Ego select cut bruh.
I got new 21466, l with 6AH battery.but it's keep on off after few minutes & not starting when i push again. If anyone knows solution for this problem is appreciated. Thank you. 😊
thanks for this thorough review. Quick question: i saw another review of this exact mower where it said that it doesn't bag very well and lots of grass clippings are left in the lawn due to poor thrust and shoot angle issues. I don't mulch my lawn and always bag so the quality of bagging, especially leafs in the fall matters a lot to me. Thanks!
I would say it’s average for bagging. Handled the deep leaves decently well.
I have read reviews where the clippings do not effectively make it into the bag, however, I've found that to bag effectively with my Toro Recycler 21466 22 in 60 V, I swap the mulching blade with a hi-lift blade. The mulching blade only works best when the Toro is in recycler mode where the bag is not used, and of course you don't let the grass get too high between mowings. This is my usual mowing configuration. But sometimes you need to bag (think leaves). With the hi-lift blade (SureFit High Lift Blade Replacement for Toro 104-8697-03 108-9464-02P 131-4547-03 22" Deck Recycler Lawn Mowers - from Amazon) there is no issue with the clippings not making it into the bag. However, the mower works harder with this blade, so run-time is noticeably reduced. Fortunately, I also bought the Toro 60V snowblower with the 7.5 Ah battery, so I have that to swap in when needed.
I tried a few battery mowers and they pretty much cut the same. The only way to get it to look like gas mowed yard was to do a mod on my mower which I don't recommend as it will void the warranty. I will never go back to gas ever. But don't buy an expensive battery mower thinking it will cut like gas cuz it won't. I have already read reviews of people saying the new Milwaukee doesn't cut to one inch, more like inch and a half. We shall see.
whihc one ddid u hry
I have a small yard and, the electric works great. I would not go back to a gas.
My six year old gas toro from Home Depot is rusting and paint blister. Just saying. Thanks for your info👍
I just bought this mower. Fully Charged the battery. Mower won’t start….what did I miss?
Hi. I just got this mower and I found it really, really hard to pull backwards (when I got it stuck under a bush). There was a lot of tension or drag or resistance , not sure what to call it. Is this normal? If I release the power bar won't the entire thing turn off --- just to back it up? Let me know what you think? Cheers, David in Toronto.
Any estimate for replacement battery cost?? And how many charges before a battery needs replacement?
probably 200-300, not sure what life cycle toro specifies but its important to store them properly and they should last for years.
@@EnthusiastsGarage I don’t have a toro battery mower
I went with a ryobi 40v mower 5 years ago and I haven’t needed to replace a battery yet.
At the time they only made 4ah as their largest battery and I needed 3 of those to mow our yard start to finish with all batteries freshly charged to get the job done with out needing to break to recharge batteries.
I’m looking to upgrade my 4ah batteries to a larger amp so I can potentially get the yard done on one battery.
I thought the Toro had an extremely loud irritating whine and it didn't mulch the leaves as nearly as well as the gas mower.
Not as irritating whine as your comment!
@@jacemcfarland3009 Ha ha, I appreciate that comment.🤣
Could you do a video comparing this mower and the Milwaukee m18 mower when it comes out?
The Milwaukee is out. I have one sitting in my garage.
Milwaukee mowers have battery issues … just returned mine to store.
❤
can I pull it backwards and cut grass like that?
It will cut backwards but it doesn’t self propel backwards.
Read reviews before you buy!!
Not doing a good job of mulching much have the wrong blade on the mower ?
It had the factory blade on it. I think it did a pretty good job relative to how thick the leaves were. Normally I wouldn’t go over leaves that thick without blowing them first.
The Toro "performance blade" will mulch better but use more battery. There's a UA-cam video comparing the Toro standard, perornance, and high-lift blades.
@@PaulStregevsky The video that you’re referring to in the three different blades is for the Toro 60 V super recycler only.
The three toros I've owned never mulched for beans. I side discharge most of the time it's 3asier on the engine
Probably better for the environment but when it comes to mulching this battery-mower doesn’t come close to gas-run toro
Should you buy an extra battery.... 40 mins is not too long......
depends how much grass you need to cut. if you have other toro 60v tools that came with batteries you could use those as well. toro also offers other electric mowers with with their 7.5 amp hour battery that's rated for 50 minutes.
If I bought this I would get a knock off battery on Amazon just as a backup. Ryobi has two batteries but combined you get 60 minutes but I have there trimmer and that battery would work to. Some of these batteries can cost 300 dollars or more
What do they mean by "Brushless"?
Brushed motors basically have a contact (or brush) extending from the drive shaft to touch a contact on the fixed part of the motor which provides electricity to spin the motor. A brushless motor is basically a drive shaft that doesn't have those brushes. It does not have anything touching the ridged part, which does not spin. This means there is one less thing to worry about wearing out and allows the motor to run longer and faster than its brushed counterpart. It also allows the computer to control how fast the motor is spinning to adjust to the work load
@@commandertaco1762 Thanks!
My mower is fully charged, but it will not start!
You can tell this was a promotion. Everything has some negatives in the review. I have one of these, and I have things I do not like about it. It is one of the few mowers that you have to adjust each wheel for height. The charger needs improvement, nothing close the quality EGO has. This is a passive charger so no fan to cool it so the charger takes a long time. I have an EGO system, and a Toro, but not the EGO mower just the other lawn stuff. The charger, and the battery are far superior to the Toro. One more thing. See Consumer Reports on the battery charger. It gives 1 out of 5. That is bad.
The charger does have a fan. CR just rates charge time. But a slower charge will greatly extend the life of lithium batteries. Toro does have chargers greater than 2 amps. The one wheel height adjusters advantage is that there is no flex in the deck for a better cut. I also own one of these. Toro delivered better cut bar none
Toro needs to get with the times and have height adjustment with one lever, not each individual wheel. And no side discharge? Babyish.
So, when the wheel adjuster breaks, what then? Side discharge? Welcome to the 1990's!
@@jacemcfarland3009 Wheel adjuster would never break on a Toro?
I eliminated this just because no side discharge
Not happy with the quality, power and maneuverability.
Toro is so behind in the electric battery industry. Better hire some better R&D into their company.
I have one, and agree that the battery, and the charger need improvement.
Hard Pass on ALL belt driven mowers. Complete waste of time and solely a money grab. Defeats the purpose of battery mowers entirely. Nice to see toro making a repeated and obviously conscious choice to be sub par.
