best lawn mower consumer review image
Garry_Mitc
I am thinking of getting the Toro cordless mower and worried about how it cuts thick grass. My yard has thick grass and it has a lot of moisture. I am curious how dose this mower do by it being cordless? Also if not this mower how about the Toro gas mowers like the ones with the pace self propelled systems with either electric start or blade brakes? thank you
Answer
If you are looking for a Toro mower, I would go with recommendations by Consumer Reports. They just came out with their latest reviews of the top lawn mowers for this year and several Toro mowers are on the list. But they are all gas-powered. If you have a large yard and thick grass, I'd go with the gas mowers as it's more powerful than electric mowers.

Some of the Toro mowers mentioned are:
Toro Super Recycler Self-Propelled Mower 20092
Toro Super Bagger 20192
Toro Recycler 20333 (this was on last year's list as a "best buy" also)
Toro Recycler 2033

What's the better mower: electric or gas?

I have my eye on a rechargeable electric mower (no cord to mess with!). My old gas mower is getting too difficult to get started. I just don't have the "oomph" to make it catch. So, from people who actually know, which is the better mower, gas or electric? I have a medium-sized yard. Serious answers, please. Thanks!
Answer
Electric mowers have come a long way and can perform just as well as gas mowers under normal conditions.
Gas mower pros & cons:
Pros: With a more powerful motor, it can easily cut over-grown lawn. Good for large lawns.
Cons: More maintenance required such as oil and filter change, spark plugs, etc. Loud and exhaust emissions that are bad for your health and the environment. High gas prices add to operating cost.
Electric mower pros & cons:
Pros: Low maintenance. Can get bogged down if cutting overgrown lawn. No harmful emissions, less noisy, no gas costs.
Cons: If mowing large lawn, you might not be able to mow on one charge. In which case, you either need to wait and recharge or buy a back-up battery to switch it out. However, the current top-rated electric mower can mow up to 1/3 acre on one charge (a bit more than 14,000 sq.ft.). Since you have a medium-sized yard, an electric mower will do just fine.
Personally, I'd go with an electric one. Not having to buy gas each time I mow and low maintenance makes it much more cost-effective.
