Our take on the Toro Recycler 22 in. 150 cc Gas Self-Propelled Lawn Mower

The Toro Recycler 22 is a gas walk-behind mower with a 22-inch steel deck, Personal Pace Auto-Drive self-propel that matches your walking speed, and a Recycler mulching system that returns fine clippings to the lawn. It has electric push-button start, nine cutting positions from 1 to 4 inches, and a bag-on-demand setup that switches between mulching and bagging without removing the bag. It is rated for lawns up to about half an acre. The best new price is $499 at Cutler's as of November 5, 2026, the only new price listed.

What reviewers say

Owners of the Recycler series generally rate the Personal Pace drive and the mulching finish highly, and the electric start is a common point of praise. Complaints tend to center on weight and on the engine spec confusion between listings.
