Toro earns a lot of my recommendations for build quality and cut quality, and the Recycler proved it again in testing. It delivered the best cut area per amp hour in the self-propelled group while still putting up excellent cutting, mulching, and bagging results.
Pros
+Best cut area per amp hour among self-propelled mowers in testing
+Excellent cutting, mulching, and bagging performance
+Vortex-style front deck vent improves airflow and performance
+All-steel one-piece deck
+Rear wheel drive with large 11-inch wheels rolls over roots and crevices well
Cons
-Heavier steel-deck build compared to all-plastic designs
-Premium performance can come with a higher price depending on the deal
