Toro Personal Pace 6.5 HP Recycler

(Carteret, NJ, USA)

I purchased this mower approximately 7 years ago from The Home Depot. It has a Briggs & Stratton 6.5 HP motor.

The mower comes with a 22 inch blade that recycles the grass clippings. When you decide to recycle the grass clippings, you must put the solid plug in the rear of the mower, in place of the bag.

This mower is "self-propelled", meaning, the harder you push down on the handle, the faster the mower will go. This feature alone makes it easier for elderly people to move the mower.

This mower also comes with the optional key ignition start. When not in use, you keep the plug to the ignition plugged into any 110v outlet. The only problem I had with this mower was trying to find original replacement blades.

The Home Depot only carried "Universal" brand blades, but that's another review. I did find replacement blades online.

After a while, the key ignition start died on me, but as advertised, the mower started with one or two pulls on the chord.

After completeing a grass mowing one afternoon, I went to park the mower on the side of the yard I usually do and accidently hit a metal post from an old fence that was once there, before I could stop the motor.

The blade came to a halt. I never had the mower repaired, yet, but I did run out and purchase the exact same mower.

I recommended this mower to a co-worker and he ran out and purchased one too. He loves it...... Just remember to purchase a "tune-up kit" every year, and you won't have any problems or regrets.
