Just bought the toro gas smart stow mower. Couldn’t bring myself to buy the battery one. Folds up and stores just like the electric and doesn’t leak gas or oil, really cool design. It makes cleaning really easy! Yes there are no worries about buying gas or tune up parts, but it will eventually even out when the battery won’t hold a charge and you pay $350 for a new one. Gas is cheaper in the long run in my opinion and you don’t have to worry about the battery dying on you and waiting 2 hours to mow again if you don’t have a spare. Great video though.

[@gotdeeres]

The mower costs $500 and a replacement 7.5AH battery will cost $350. Li-ion batteries have a limited number of recharges before they start to lose power. They just seem to always be discharged when I want to use a cordless drill etc.

[@charlescoker7752]

All these battery powered tools. The batteries are outrageous!

[@jeffreydevoti7000]

[@Familyray]

You're buying the batteries, the tool is just a bonus !!

[@gordbaker896]

Battery powered drills always have enough power to drill one and a half holes!. Went back to corded for shop use.

[@scotta9114]

I have some advise. If you really want to invest in expensive battery tools, buy a light timer with 15 minute intervals. Charge the battery for 15 minutes, then let it rest (turn off) for 30 minutes and repeat. This prevents the cells from overheating. To store the batteries, keep them in the house or at least in a cool environment but not cold. Store the batteries at around a 40% charge between seasons. You will thank me. I have a Kobalt 40 volt mower that was manufactured 1/2014. The batteries are still very usable. Everyone I know that purchased Cordless Mowers had the batteries fail in just a few years. If you only charge to 90% capacity they will last even longer.

Loved watching this!! I enjoyed Taryl's reactions and showing each equipments qualities. Good thing Slippers was there to help!! Lol. It was nice watching both of them try the products out.

[@Shootingstarcomics]

You should have used the hedge trimmer to open the rest of the boxes if you wanted to do a thorough review. A hedge trimmer doesn’t need to be as light and comfortable to use as other equipment because you just buy it to use once and then store it in the garage. The blower should lose marks for not being nearly loud enough, that thing wouldn’t even wake up my neighbor.

I think the leaf blower would be loud enough if you went out at about 9 P.M. or so and blow the grass IN THE LAWN! after mowing let alone the grass on the sidewalk. I can't get over the fact that Ronnie looks so much like Sliffers. Must be a coinkidink.

I’m guessing you have never used a set of hedge trimmers for 8 hours straight.. weight matters

The problem with battery is that in few months, the life starts getting shorter and shorter. My neighbor replaced his MTD gas mower with Ego and he was very happy the first year and proud of it. Second year I will see him only mowing his front yard and then he will go inside to charge the battery for couple of hours and come back to mow the backyard. The third year, he bought Toro gas mower. All this while, I have been using Snapper gas push mower with 0 problems in 10 years. I do have an hour meter on it and I change oil every 10 hrs and air fiter and spark plug every 20 hrs.

[@bassbuggy101]

Electric will never replace gasoline powered equipment. But this type of equipment is perfect for people with small lawns or retirees who cant start gas equipment.

[@allsummerlong1238]

The shop I work for sells these and from what I've seen, they work very well for new technology. The only negative I've heard and seen is the battery life can decrease over extended use

[@NY411Info]

@@JM-yx1lm If the companies didn't use fast chargers, then the baDtree would last longer. Fast chargers overheat the baDtree and then you get average of 2 years of use before they die quicker and quicker after a recharge. Also people do not let them cool before removing from charger and instantly running them. Oh wait we are all impatient people, No time to wait around...lol.

[@bentullett6068]

It's the way the batteries are stored as well. We have customers in the UK who decide to store the batteries with the tools in a non heated shed. Issue is they forget that the batteries hate the cold weather. It even states in the manual that the batteries like a moderate climate (room temperature).

[@scotthaddad563]

Back in the eighties I bought a Toro gas hedge trimmer. It ran one time for fifteen minutes and quit on me! It never started again (I know motors). It hangs on the wall in my garage today to remind me never to buy another TORO PRODUCT!

[@TheIronDuke502]

Taryl Fixes All. Very Nice Review!!!. My sister purchased a Toro Recycler 22inch SmartStow (20339) that is just a very awesome machine that is very fuel efficient and makes a golf course quality cut. We treated the bottom of the mower deck with a very heavy coating of WD40 being that the mower was brand new and the grass clippings pretty much fell off when my sister cleaned the mower deck with a water hose. I do not like the idea of never changing the oil regardless of the feel good false security Briggs & Stratton is trying to imply. For my push mowers & small engines, I utilize a 12 volt suction pump that transfers the oil to a container. When the container is full, I take my used oil to Autozone so that it may be recycled. I have two of the Worx GT 20 volt trimmers that perform rather well other than being a bit underpowered for what I ask out of them. That Toro Trimmer was very awesome to say the least. There may be one in my future as well as maybe one of the Toro blowers. Thanks Always For Your Great Videos & Reviews. Now There’s You’re Dinner From Central Kentucky!!!.

[@WorldPowerLabs]

It takes me about 4 hours to mow my front grass with a 22” push mower, and another 3 or so to do the side and rear. I usually split those jobs up over a couple days, but I do finish the front in one go. I've thought about getting an electric mower next, but I don't want to have to buy several extra batteries or take long breaks to wait on a charger. Realistically, my next purchase will probably be a used tractor. I like the control and precision of a push mower, but in the hottest parts of the summer, using one gets pretty miserable.

[@hankpugh4980]

Got the Toro 60V weed trimmer for an early fathers day gift, so far its fantastic. Liked seeing how to wind the the line on it.

[@bradbarefoot2986]

Taryl, as always enjoyed the video, about the string trimmer. I found w/my trimmer to use a good grade of the .065 trimmer line instead of the .080 or .095. To me it trimmed just as good. In case you're wondering, plain round Shakespear .065 line, nothing fancy.

[@applicator40usa69]

[@charleshines6155]

It can be nice if you are like me have had 2 stroke engines that don't want to start next year. For what little I use my weed whacker a 40 volt one suits me fine. Then the batteries are all usable on other 40 volt tools made by the same manufacturer. That is the same with the 18 volt batteries from the same maker.

[@sqike001ton]

On a hedge trimmer electric is fine I like the older corded ones. As for the leaf blower I'm starting to favor a electic one as they are lighter(at least mine) and work fine for lighter jobs and indoor work. if I need to do anything heavy duty a gas power backpack unit is best . the weed eater and pushmower gasoline all the way. tho my girlfriend has a electric mower at her house she won at a county fair and she likes it as she can mow at 6am before the sun gets hot as electric equipment dont cause noise complaints.i guess there is a time and place for both.

[@PawOfRizzo]

Seems like overall nice equipment. All these tools would work fine for my small yard. The decreased need for engine maintenance could be helpful. However, I don't see the battery powered equipment lasting over years and years. Many of the battery powered mowers have plastic assemblies. I would expect the batteries to last a couple to a few years, but I have had good gas mowers last over a decade with even mediocre maintenance. Then, when one sees the cost to buy a new battery vs. most replacement parts for a gas mower. Not a lot of cost savings from where I'm seeing, maybe moreso just depends on how much maintenance you want to deal with.

[@scotta9114]

My Honda HR214 Mower is a 1987 model. Still runs perfectly. Even the bag is original. Gas mower for me.

[@PawOfRizzo]

@@scotta9114 NICE! I have a Honda HRX217....was given to me so I'm not sure the age, but I've probably had it 10 years. Watching Taryl inspired me to put a whole new carburetor on it (first time small engine repair for me), and it's running like a champ. The carb, new plug, and filter was like $22, so it's hard to justify so much on a lithium mower. Only issue I have now is the self-propelled is pulling so slow, but just got a new v-belt to try to fix that.

[@andrewchristiansen8311]

My 18-24v B&D whippers work great. Got the turbo button with a small voltage booster but the shaft is extendable/retractable for short people. It uses 28v cause the old 24v battrees charged to 29v. I rebuilt the battrees to lithium. I getem for free on marketplace nobody wants'm. I use the battree adapter for my new 20v battrees for B+D. Then the 28v original rebuilt battrees make it go so much faster. I found one in my rental garage, and one on marketplace free. Work great. I use 4 amp 20v battrees 1 does my whole property. I use'm commercially cause I'm about to have 2 more in a week!

[@ajvenit]

When my gas power Toro dies I think I’ll go with the battery powered one. That will be in 15 years or so.

[@billypreston12]

I like the mower and the weed wacker but battery replacement would be the killer in this set up. In the long run I guess it would still be cheaper to use these battery powered units compared to gas, oil, plugs air filter, etc. Thanks for sharing Taryl, your reviews are straightforward and honest and I appreciate that. Now go have your dinner:)

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I change oil maybe 2ice a year. Plugs? When they quit. Filters? maybe ever 2 or when they start getting restricted. Belts? when they start showing wear. A whole lot of this yearly stuff isn't really needed. You want to spend money? Go right ahead but I just get stuff when needed. Use good oil and keep it changed. That's the life of a small engine. Briggs manuals for the 'L' heads recommended every 20 hours. I use diesel formula 15W40. Keeps 'em CLEAN!

[@NY411Info]

@@lewiemcneely9143 Up here in Upstate NY when I was young we never changed the oil any of our push mowers. The 3.5 B&S or the Tecumseh 3.5. We are talking mid 70's models. All ran fine for 10-12 years no smoke, just added oil. They ran when they were junked. Decks rotted out. Oh and we ran them hard. About 2-2.5 acres and field paths. I currently have a 4.5 B&S from 1991 Lhead and never changed the oil in that either. Probably cuts an hour every week since new. Anyway the only small engines I change the oil in are the 5-17 HP Engines I own. Not concerned with a push mower engine, it will outlast the deck.

[@ovp66223]

Depends on size of yard/area and work needed I guess. For just mowing, I get by with 2 gallons of gas for the whole cutting season (April - October). I have a smaller yard, maybe 1/5 acre? I did a check of costs, doing proper once a year oil change (never had to change spark plug, they last a decade plus unless you're a professional) and air filter once every 2 or 3 years (I just tap out the dirt/dust after every 2 or 3 mows). A gas lawn mower costs me about $12/year to run, up to 10 years or so and then likely some more costly preventative mtc, like replacing gaskets, cleaning head/piston/valve of carbon, etc. Assuming a battery pack costs $350 (Toro 60v 7.5 amphr) and loses capacity after 75 - 125 mows, say after 5 - 7 years, it will cost far more to buy a new battery pack, than the gas powered mower costs me per annum. One $350 battery in first 6 years would blow the cost of the gas powered mower out of the water. Keep this in mind, batteries ARE NOT CHEAP and fail much faster than costly gas powered parts do. The lower amphour batteries are "merely" $120 - $180 but those too will need replaced in 4-8 years, depending on usage, heat and storage methods off-season. To make these batteries run longer, they use a lot lighter parts in all the equipment, which means MTBF is much lower. Something plastic will break in a couple of years or after 50 or 100 uses, it just will. Can it be fixed cheaply? Will these same batter packs be available in five years? If so, will they be manufactured discontinued and third party packs from China that don't last? I have a pair of battery powered hair clippers. After 4 years, the batteries were no longer made. I had to buy a knock of for $75 (the clippers with battery cost just $120 initially), which doesn't last nearly as long per use. My advice, buy a new battery in two or three years (driving up cost of ownership) from the manufacturer, before they're MD'd and they move to a different voltage rating/design. They'll all be changing over the years, not just Toro. Given these battery worries, I don't see these battery powered power tools being of much use beyond 6-8 years. Just won't be able to find usable batteries or the cheaper/lighter plastic will be breaking all over after years of drying out and hardening. I guess I am skeptical of lower costs and very worried about my $1000 investment in a mower, trimmer and hedge trimmer becoming unusable in the 6-10 year range once I can no longer find those voltage/designed battery packs. Can always find gasoline, at least for the forseeable future.

[@death-hs4dh]

i really appreciate that you always tell when you compensated and keep things above board.

[@charleshines6155]

I always use the blower to clear dirt out of the garage. Works a lot faster than a broom or vacuuming it up. It doesn't get stuff off that was wet and dried on but it comes loose easy enough to blow away.

[@jeremydavis2595]

I have cordless tools still going on the original lithium batteries from 2011. I own 2 General Electric 36v garden tractors made in the early 70s that are still going (obviously not on the original batteries). Around 50 years old and never needed new rods, valve jobs, head gaskets or carb issues. Unplug thr charger & turn the key and away you go. Meanwhile I have done carb rebuilds on mowers that were only 2 years old and had to replace sump gaskets on a few that were about 5 years old. If I had to pay a shop to do it, the labor would have been as much as the mower was worth at its age. If the components are of quality materials, an electric propulsion system will outlast an ICE many times over. Many electric motors in industrial plants run round the clock for many years before needing rebuilt, even a good diesel would need overhauled 2 or 3 times to 1 motor. Also, the electric stuff is actually easier to fix if you know what you're doing, contrary to what people think.

[@ovp66223]

Curious what year you bought them, especially a lawn mower and how the battery packs are fairing in capacity. Maybe these things will keep charges much longer than I expect. The last thing we want is a battery that used to last 40 minutes, now lasting 15 minutes (not allowing one to complete a task). Let me know, but be neutral on your reply, not fanboyish. Are the batteries lasting at least 70 or 80% of initial run time now? Did you have to buy a new one since first purchase, if so, what was the cost?

“You use your lawn mower in the winter??” I didn’t even catch it until Taryl brought it up!!!!

[@RichieCat4223]

Blower sounds you need ear protection by the video. I like the load sensor on the mower.

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

Liking that string trimmer all of them very nice new technology thanks terodactyl, slippers, camera person Central California watching

[@davidlove7825]

Importantly when using electric motors avoid constant stop start. When an electric motor starts directly on line it draws 6 to 7 times the run current. Keep that in the back of your mind and your electric motors will last much longer.

[@Mr.BodyByFisher]

what is the price of the the electric motor, batteries/charger when they decides to take a dump ?

[@TheMinnow101]

If you have to ask, then you can't afford it. :)

[@TheClampettmobile]

What country are these products made??

[@charleshines6155]

Well Slippers, it works great til it breaks or the batteries need charged. I even have a saw that uses similar batteries made by a competitor. I did not say who because I am not here for them although the saw works fine for most tree pruning.

[@patburnsent]

Taryl, great video as usual but explain to me why you have a sign warning of a hill around the corner at 46:13.

[@RedfishInc]

How do you guys have time for product reviews in the middle of mowing season?

[@TheMinnow101]

A business person always has time for sponsors $$$. Plus he'll probably put them up for sale in his shop.

[@longwalkoffshortpeer]

Toro hit a home run with the 60 volt I have couple tools for my business there fantastic. Already pre ordered the 60v hd commercial 21

[@raymondgarafano8604]

Taryl & Slipperz, U guys run good video's Thank very much!

[@safetyharborfirearms]

80 degrees.....thats like the AC is on compared to FL temps. Good reviews ...Thanks

[@harrowtiger]

Looks like the hedge trimmer bar is a safety bar, it has rounded bulbous ends that protrude out past the cutters, looks safe if it should accidentally hit your body.

[@thebackwoodsboysgarage9144]

I actually prefer gas powered equipment than electric equipment gas powered stays on longer and lasts longer

[@patrickmcintyre4478]

Taryl can you find Hamms out your way? Completely out around here. No one has within an hour drive. Say they may not be able to get it till end of July.

[@halleffect1]

44:08 seemed like a good place to say "there's your dinner"

[@SoddingaboutSi]

Buy a gas powered drill. really LOL'd! Loved the strimmer.

[@Davidjb37721]

You’re the first lawnmower repair shop has i seen yard Mold his own yard

[@harryshector]

It would be good to know what the batteries cost, and what type they are. (I’m assuming they are lithium, because almost all present-day power tools use lithium batteries...) If they are standard size cells, the batteries can be rebuilt for less money than replacement OEM batteries can be purchased for, but such work requires knowledge and skills beyond the abilities of many homeowners. Lithium cells require serious care, because their energy density makes them dangerous in the hands of those who don’t know what they’re doing. If the cells are not self-protected, they can catch fire, and even explode if shorted, or improperly charged.

[@oldfartpushingashoppingcar5979]

Don't know about the smaller batteries but the one to power the mower is about 350 bucks , 2/3 the cost of the mower.

[@rverro8478]

22:25 The look that says "I dare you to yell CUT ".

[@brandonbrown3463]

Slippers got grass all over his leotard. 🤣

[@masterofnonetv8361]

I tell ya, after the wife complaining and never being able to start a gas string trimmer a cordless one has been the best thing ever!!😂

[@lopincol]

How do small engine mechanics feel about battery powered tools? With limited maintenance on them, you could have less and less jobs? Thanks !

[@454pakr]

I'll wait for the micro sized battery 120v version in a couple years.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Atomic!

[@Mike-cs4pl]

If the motor burns up in two weeks will toro consider it disposable or is it warrantied

[@charger19691]

Looks like Toro has done their homework on their bat-tree powered lawn tools. I like them!

[@tlclandscaping8455]

I would buy that mower, not much more then a good gas power. Cheaper in the long run

[@ryang1234-b5s]

I'm pretty old school myself. I like corded tools or gas-powered, but this Toro is pretty cool though.

[@93sundance]

My neighbor owns an electric mower. That thing is about as loud as an electric string trimmer. Maybe someday when they make a good size consumer grade lawn tractor... Not giving up my 46" Cub.
