We love our Toro lawn mower. It is light and so easy to start and cuts the grass so nicely. The grass feels like a carpet when you walk on it.

Well built mower. I’ve owned Toro mowers in the past. This one was easy to assemble and I like that the oil was in the box. Had it ready to start in about 25 minutes. Like they state , easy starting. One pull each time so far.This mower is outstanding as a recycler (mulching) mower. Almost no clippings left on the lawn. The few spots needed a second pass.But don’t buy if you need a bag mower. Bag is small , sits at an odd angle and has a gap along the top that the clippings shoot out of.

Does not start on one pull. Two pulls. Leaves clippings sort of long instead of mulching.

Nice features, but a near miss on the bagger. This mower has a lot of nice features that I like, which really surprised me that someone dropped the ball on the design of the bagger. The big problem with that is, as others have mentioned, there is a gap along the top where the hinged plastic blade door meets the bagger that allows grass to blow up at you while you mow. It’s especially noticeable when you’re cutting longer grass and if the wind is blowing in your direction. I was able to remedy this to some degree, however, by cutting a piece of foam pipe insulation, you know, the black foam that fits around your water pipes in the basement. I cut a piece to length to fill that gap and it seemed to work, but it would slide out sometimes. I think I’m going to use some contact cement to mount it permanently to the blade door. Did they even test this when they deemed it ready for production? Anyway, other than that, this mower has some great features. It was simple to put together even without the instructions. It came with a bottle of oil, which is good, because it doesn’t ship with oil in the engine. Be sure to top it up before trying to start it. Mine took most of the bottle of oil to get it up to the full mark on the dipstick. The oil dipstick is in a convenient place where you can find it. Not buried near the deck like many are. It makes it easy to check/add oil if you need to. You won’t even need a funnel. And it says you never have to change the oil either. Just add some when it needs it. The gas cap has a plastic retainer on it (see photo) so that you won’t ever lose it. I’ve lost a few in my day when the vibration of the engine just made them unscrew. Not gonna happen with this one. The wheel adjustment is nice, in that you only need to adjust the two wheels on one side of the mower and it raises or lowers the other wheel too. The wheel adjustments are easy to do, however, they are a bit confusing to get the deck level. The instructions will give you an idea how to set them. I just used a yardstick next to the front and back of the deck to make sure it was level, adjusting the wheels as I needed to to get a 2″ deck height. It was set to 1 1/2″ out of the box. The safety handle you have to engage to start and run the mower has a nice ergonomical design with a plastic cover that’s more comfortable on your hands than just the metal handle. There is no primer bulb and no settings for choke and run, which I liked a lot. You just fill it with gas, check the oil and pull the handle and you’re off to work. It usually starts on the first pull. Make sure you have the safety handle pulled back, though, or you won’t be able to pull the rope. The motor runs strong and can handle about any lawn that you throw at it. It’s easy to push and not too heavy, but it feels substantial, like you’re pushing something that was built with quality. The large wheels in the back will make it a little easier to handle on lawns with rougher terrain. The mulching blade seems to do a pretty good job of shredding up the grass into a fairly fine cut that would probably be okay just to leave on your lawn if you didn’t want to bag your grass. The other negative I might mention would be the instructions. They’re the type that are all illustrations that almost seem like a puzzle to figure out what it’s depicting. I’d rather have words explaining what’s going on in the picture myself. It’s like trying to read Egyptian heiroglyphics on the side of a pyramid. Still, I got the gist of it and was able to figure out what it was depicting. I’d say if you’re looking for a quality push mower with a bagger, you can’t go wrong with the Toro 21 in. Recycler.
