Does it come with a battery and charger?

That depends on the kit. The model number 21326 is sold as a bare tool in some listings and with a battery and charger in others, so confirm what is in the box before buying.

How long does the battery last?

Runtime varies with the battery used, grass height and whether you mulch or bag. Expect enough for a typical suburban lawn on a full charge, less in tall or wet grass.

What is Recycler mulching?

Recycler is Toro's mulching system. It cuts clippings repeatedly into fine pieces that drop back into the turf as moisture and nutrients instead of being bagged.

How does Personal Pace work?

You set the drive speed by how fast you walk. The handle senses your pace and the mower speeds up or slows down to match, so you are not fighting a fixed-speed drive.

The self-propel drive helps on slopes, and Personal Pace keeps the mower from running away from you. Traction still depends on the tires and how wet the grass is.

How does it compare with a gas Recycler?

It cuts and mulches similarly with less noise and no fuel or oil upkeep. A gas model still wins on sustained power in heavy, wet growth and on refueling speed.
