What Customers Are Saying

The mower is powerful and reliable, with customers praising its easy starting, strong performance, and lightweight maneuverability.

The height adjustment mechanism could also be improved, and finding replacement parts may be challenging.

No parts available to repair my mower.

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this six months ago and my clutch cable broke. I have tried numerous locations and I can't find a replacement part. I have been advised that this part is no longer made. TSC no longer carries this model and I can't return it.

Great Features with one exception!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this string mower recently and have just completed 2 hours of use. This unit is very easy to start, well balanced and appears to be well made but there is one feature that I am disappointed with after reading the operator's manual. Toro recommends the drive belt tension be checked and adjusted as needed every two hours of operation. I've owned other brands of string trimmers that never had this type of requirement. I removed the ...

Good mower, works good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mower starts and runs great. Cuts through very tall and thick grass and brush easily. Only downside is the rubber deflector/shute was torn when I got into some thicker brush.

Good mower if the belt tension is adjusted.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have not had this mower for very long. This mower works very well when adjusted properly. I like that the mower deck is not engaged all the time, but this leads to the one exception to making this the perfect mower. In order for the deck to work properly the tension adjustment on the handle must be set appropriately. This will take some time as the adjustment can be needed as the belt becomes looser or expands. The adjustment is explained in ...

Weedeater with wheels

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice unit just not as capable as I had hoped. The mower itself if strong enough but the string just fades away when trying to cut anything as big as briars.

22" (56 cm) 163cc Briggs and Stratton String Mower

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 163cc Briggs start very easily usually 1 to 2 pulls, the machine has enough power to cut through tall weeds quickly. The mower head has a plastic wrap guard on it plan on replacing it if small weeds or vines get caught up in it.

Light but solid feeling mower trimmer does the job

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a nice yard tool. It is not too heavy and very solid. The large wheels give it a great feeling when pushing through grass, or in this case, cut grass. The weedeater material included is three strands together, maybe 1/4" in diameter. Add oil and gas is easy - they are separate. The pull start is easy also. I mowed a path through a field of rocks, dirty, sticks and 1 - 2' grass, plus a slope. It was super efficient at cutting. I though...

Switch Hitter, with Power

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a trimmer to cut and control the edges of a field and I needed a mower to cut the grass inside of a 20'x40' dog kennel. I researched and found sting trimmers. I made the choice to get a Toro because I knew it would be reliable and guaranteed. It's been a GREAT investment. So easy to start. No regrets at all.

Pretty Sturdy Weedeater

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had to spend quite a bit of time getting the belt adjusted so it wouldn't slip. Once done, it worked great! It would cut down thick weeds with no trouble.

Easy start

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this walk behind string trimmer to replace and old Craftsman trimmer. It starts on the first pull every time, has larger rear wheels, and runs much quieter than my old one. It cuts great and it's easy to adjust the cutting height. I use it to trim around a pond and some other area's where a mower just won't go. Buy one, you won't regret it.

Tension belt needs redesigned

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this trimmer 2 times for possibly 2 hrs total. The tension belt squealed the entire time during use. I finally had to carry tools in my pocket to attempt to adjust it every 20 minutes. This was not heavy brush, & grass only. I returned it to original purchase location.
