Bought a Toro SuperRecycler pert near a year ago.
Used it all last summer.
Grabbed the one with the Briggs and Stratton engine.
Forget the model number but it was the mid-priced model with other models costing less and more.
Starts easily and cuts well. Bagger works real good and it does mulch well but, as with most consumer-style mulchers if you let the grass get too high or if it's wet the mulcing doesn't work as well.
The "personal pace" aspect is, to me, nifty keen. Akin to a constantly-variable tranny the mower basically goes as fast as you push the handle.
I have read of others complaining of how long it took to get used to the system.
Bwa hah hah hah hah hah!!!!!!!!
Just observe automobubble drivers attempting to manipulate their machine down the highway..... there's a certain percentage of folks who liely have trouble putting some bread in a toaster!!!!
I like the personal pace feature and had NO trouble in ANY way making the mower go from the moment I yanked the starting cord for the firstest time.
For a plethora of opinons or to ask questions there is a forum for consumer-level mowers. A handy place to debate mowers or find answers to questions.

There is a search function to find previous posting regarding Toro mowers and the personal pace system.
Just be aware that some of the responses are from folks that are extremely loyal to one brand and tend to ridicule other brands.
Something to be aware of, unless Toro changed their policy, I paid more for the SuperRecycler and bought from a mower/small engine shop vice a retailer such as Home Depot since the version I bought is not available at the mass retailers.... my version comes with a 5-year top-to-bottom warranty... 100% coverage. The cost is "hidden" within the price of the mower but I don't mind paying a little more for quality and peace of mind..... for 5 years anyway.
