- Is the Toro 21445 good for mulching?
- Yes. Its Recycler rotor deck recuts clippings into fine pieces and drops them back on the lawn, so you can skip bagging. You can also switch to bagging or side discharge.
- How does it handle hills?
- The variable-speed front-wheel drive helps on gentle slopes, but front-wheel-drive mowers lose grip on wet or steep inclines. Rear-wheel-drive models are the better pick for very hilly yards.
- What cutting heights does it offer?
- It has 9 positions from 1 to 4 inches, adjusted at each wheel. That range covers a close trim and a taller cut for dry or shady lawns.
- Does it come with a bag?
- It is sold with a grass collection bag and supports mulching and side discharge. Check the box contents for the bag and any discharge chute.
- Is it hard to start?
- It uses a pull-start gas engine, so there is no electric start. Keep the air filter and spark plug fresh and it starts reliably in most owner reports.
- Who should buy it instead of a push mower?
- Buy it if your lawn is medium to large and you want self-propel and mulching. A basic push mower is lighter and simpler for small, flat yards.
