A Toro walk-behind mower? But this has personal pace. Let me show you what that means and give you a demo

Dave Taylor here mowing my lawn, something I end up having to do about every week or so
0:19
Lucky I have this, which is the Toro 21-inch gas walk-behind mower, and it has a lot of cool
0:25
features. But what I'm really psyched about, and I've been using this for a while now, but what I'm
0:29
really psyched about is something they call personal pace. And it's really pretty cool. So
0:34
you see this is a metal handle, but this one actually slides up and down. And the further
0:40
you push it in, the more the auto power will help move the mower forward. Now it seems a little weird
0:47
but it turns out that it's actually really incredibly smart. Because if you're going
0:52
downhill, it won't help at all. You'll just have, you know, gravity pulling your mower down
0:58
But if you're going uphill, like I have in this little spot right here, then this I will naturally push and it will help the mower move upward. So basically it's like a
1:09
little magic trick that always lets the mower be the same resistance as you push it. Let me show you
1:16
and then we're going to do a mower eye view so you can see the same thing happen. So first off
1:22
super easy to start, pull the bar back, pull the handle. Easy enough. Now to get it to go forward, I can either just push like a traditional mower
1:36
or I can use personal pace with the flex handle. So let's do that. And now I'm moving uphill with
1:44
incredibly little work. And that's it. So that's how personal pace works. It's really pretty slick
1:50
Now this mower has a bunch of really neat tricks to it, including smart stow, where you can fold
1:55
it up and put it on its end. And it's what's known as a super recycler. So everything gets mulched
2:02
down to basically nothing. So you notice I don't have a bag and I don't have dead grass clippings
2:07
on my lawn, even though this is the mower I use for the lawn. So it basically cuts the grass so
2:13
small that it just gets absorbed back in. It's really pretty sweet. You also never have to change
2:20
the oil. What a tedious thing to have to change the oil on a mower. So this also features 163 cc
2:28
engine, and it is not incredibly expensive for something that's going to give you hopefully 10
2:34
or more years of mowing adventures, however big or small your lawn is. So let's go and show you
2:40
that action footage. So what I did is I took an action cam and I taped it to the front of the
2:45
mower. And so this is basically the mower's eye view. If the mower had its own AI, it would be
2:52
seeing something like this as it cuts a lawn. So a little crazy. I thought about having it even lower
2:59
where the grass would push the actual camera lens, but I realized that if the camera actually
3:05
disconnected from the mower, boom, it'd be all over and it'd be ugly. So that was a compromise
3:11
So pretty fun. I mean, it does a really nice job mowing. I'm really a fan of this
3:16
It is super reliable. It's super easy to start. The fact that I can just fold it up and stick
3:21
it in a corner of my garage is fantastic. And it's a little spendy, but you know, like I said
3:28
if you're thinking of this as mowing for one summer, then it's crazy. But if you're thinking
3:33
of five or 10 years of keeping your lawn or lawns, plural, beautiful, then it's entirely reasonable
3:39
So let me tell you the price, but before I get to the price, let me ask if you can subscribe
3:44
to my channel, just click that red subscribe button. Really appreciate it. Great. Now this
3:50
is the Toro 21 inch gas walk behind mower, and it will cost you $479. You can check it out at
3:58
Toro.com or your favorite home supply or lawn care site. So with that, I'm going to get back
4:05
to my mowing, which means that I will hang on. I'll catch you in my next video
