Nice cut but just in car accident a little harder to use. Now I wish I had a riding one. Other than that just takes longer to use

Review Posted 09/15/2023
Dislikes. The fuel cap is loose and keeps coming undone, I have to stop to screw it back in place. A little more power would be nice, bogs down when grass is a little higher than normal. Deck and blade should be a little wider than the wheels. It leaves streaks in the grass. It tends to tip when mowing on medium slopes.
Likes. The smart stow is nice, easy maintenance, uses less fuel than my previous mower and does a great job at mulching the clippings. I starting to upgrade my mower fleet and I may try the all-wheel drive version Toro has. Even with the short comings noted above I do like this mower.
Please do not stop making the 22 inch cut decks. That one inch does save so much time and when paired with proper overlap give a very nice-looking finished cut.
P.S. I rarely give five-star ratings as I believe there is always room for improvement, four star is my top score.

Toro 21445
By Ronald L.
New Hampshire
Purchased 07/07/2023 |
Review Posted 09/09/2023
I am completely satisfied with my Toro thus far. I have owned it for two months. Initial start-up may take 3-4 pulls but subsequent starts are on the first pull. It cuts evenly and the 150cc motor does not hesitate even in wet grass. The self propulsion pulls you along making cutting almost effortless. The sale price at $100.00 of the current price was an extremely good deal for such a quality mower. All components are well constructed and the assembly was extremely easy. The adjust handle height and hanging storage option are definitely a plus. A great mower even at the current price for the homeowner who is looking for ease of operation and reliability.

Mower
By Gordon P.

Purchased 07/11/2023 |
Review Posted 08/24/2023
It has good power. Only used it a few times. But for me, it is too fast (77 yrs old). It only has one speed, can't regulate it. The aggressive speed makes it difficult to control when mowing around plants and other yard items like trees. It fills the grass catcher well. Seems to consume a lot of fuel. Cutting a lawn back and forth with straightaways makes quick work. The price at Mowers Direct was the best I found.

I've had the mower for about a month and I have nothing bad to say about it. Starts first pull and has plenty of power, matter of fact I can’t keep up with it on full speed. I would buy again.
