WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

The price buys a 22-inch steel deck, 163 cc Briggs & Stratton engine, rear-wheel Personal Pace drive, 1.8-bushel bag and 1–4 inch height range. Its conventional engine and dealer network are meaningful service advantages.

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

Personal Pace removes a separate drive lever, and Bag On Demand simplifies mode changes, but the 83 lb mower lacks upright storage and has a pull cord.

LONGEVITY

Conventional engine parts and dealer servicing are practical advantages. Toro lists air-filter and spark-plug part numbers, but the deck can rust and fuel storage requires care.
