Rated 4 out of 5??by TomToro Easy to use and mows fast.
I have a walk out basement and this mower doesn't handle well on uneven ground. Also needs different front tires-or an inter tube. Mine went flat. Also needs a different design for easier oil change. Machine is easy to use and mows very fast.

Rated 5 out of 5??by JF6880 Excellent machine!
I took me a little while to get used to the steering, but now I don't even have to think about it. The machine has plenty of power and cuts the lawn nicely!

Rated 5 out of 5??by MikeR Overall a solid mower
I have used the mower for one season. It always started easily and ran well. The maneuverability cannot be beat. This mover is fine for the half acre I cut. The controls are simple to use. It has height adjustment for the blades, two speed settings for the mower, blade speed control, and a cup holder if that matters to you. The seat is comfortable. Maintenance is easy. The oil, air, and fuel filters are easy to reach. The battery is very assessable. The fuel and oil are easy to fill. It cut fairly evenly if the grass is not too tall.
The towering capacity is only 80 lbs. I wish it was more. There is no hour counter for the engine. You have to buy a more expense mower to get that. Very disappointing that Toro would include such minor component through the entire line. There was a fuel filter recall that True Value honored with no trouble.
I gave it 5 stars despite its shortcomings (primarily its limited towing capacity). It does what I got it for.

Rated 3 out of 5??by Timbo Not set up from factory. Warranty doesn't cover much.
Came crated from Home Depot and everything looked fine. Upon starting it would not stay running and had to take it to local repair shop. Runs ok now but their adjustment made it such that you now cannot disengage the transmission for pushing. Battery went dead after two months and was not covered under warranty. Front wheels need to be greased after about two hours of operation. Local repair said the seals or whatever keeps the grease from escaping is also not a warranty repair. Only thing I'm really pleased with is the engine and ease if cutting. Although any zero turn would provide that same ease of cutting.

Rated 5 out of 5??by Atn1 Worth every penny
I was debating between a tractor and zero turn. I spent a little more and got the zero turn due to the odd shape of lot and number of obstacles (trees, barn, swing set). I move around these obstacles with ease. This mower has freed up so much of time. I used to push mow twice a week. Now I mow one a week and spend a quarter of the time I used to. Quality of the cut is way better too. My only regret is not purchasing this machine years ago!

Rated 4 out of 5??by Javo Fast and easy to drive
Takes me half of the time than the pushing motor. I also use it during fall to clean up leaves, great help.

Rated 4 out of 5??by Leshaz Not sure yet as I have only used it twice on two lawns. so far so good.
Because I have only used the Toro twice it is very difficult to tell you how to rate, so far so good but when the lawn mowing season really begins in full I will be glad to update my review. But right now it really is not possible to give a accurate review. But so far it is alright.

Rated 4 out of 5??by Cruiser56 Special features in this price range make for great value
The comfortable high back seat, leg room, especially quiet muffler on the Kawasaki engine, foot pedal deck height control make for a less tiring ride. The sealed spindles have held up well for the two seasons used.
Could not find odd size rear tires in aftermarket. A rear rubber bumper would be great on all zero turns. An optional available light kit would be a plus.
Quality would have been excellent except for the odd size rear tires
