clogs to much
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this mower since the end of 2019 and only had one issue that sent it back to dealer. but it does have it's flaws. My lot has about 11000SQ Ft of cutting surface and unless i cut my yard every 3 or 4 days i have to stop and unclog the mower (even with new or sharpened blades) at least 3 times while mulching or side discharging. Yes my grass is thick but you would think i could go a 5 or 6 days. as a note the if you get this you should try the stripping kit. while the overall quality of the mower is good it seems to lack power for a thick yard

New Sheriff in Town
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Moved into a new house a few months ago with a fair amount of yard to mow in the front and back. I thought I could make do with a battery-powered mower from the most highly rated brands out there. I was wrong. It would take me close to 3 hours to mow my lawn, swapping out batteries sometimes as many as 4 times during my session. I was pushed to the brink. I knew a typical 21" deck was not going to get the job done. Toro has the market cornered when it comes to mowers and the TimeMaster is the King of residential push mowers. I opted for the electric start model and I am glad I did. Impressive machine, cuts through all types of grass no problem, strong transmission, clean cut, no random strays sticking out. It's only been 2 months, and I can say I've never experienced a machine like this. I can get through my lawn now in about an hour, and I also opted for the striping kit, which leaves behind some amazing looking stripes! It feels good knowing I have the best looking lawn on the block thanks to this machine and a proper lawn service program. My only wishlist item would be for a slightly bigger gas tank to handle a larger lawn, but that's not a big deal. This is not an inexpensive purchase, but if you are someone who values and takes pride in how your lawn looks, I can at least vouch for it and tell you it puts a smile on my face every time I stand back and admire my lawn after each cut.

My personnel experience
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am unable to mow my yard with a lawn tractor due to a large culvert and a zero turn was too large for the size of my yard. I have a 14,000 sq ft. lot. So I needed something larger then the 22 inch recycler I was currently using.
I will list the issues and the pluses of this machine
Dislikes
1. When trying to mow in the highest setting for the push bar, it will slip and drop into the lowest mowing position, I looked and could not see why it was doing this.
2. When taking the spark plug out the tip broke and I work on motorcycles, so I know how to remove a spark plug. Champion spark plug defect.
3. When sending oil make sure you send the amount needed, Toro only includes 18 ounces of oil and machine needs 20 ounces, so you will need to purchase a bottle of top off oil before operating the machine.
Pluses
1. I was able to mow my 14,000 sq ft lot in around 30 minutes, my Toro 22 inch recycle on average around 45 minutes, factoring out the breaks needed. I am just learning how to use this mower so I feel I can get down to around 20 to 25 minutes.
2. Moves like a wild banchee when I pushed the bar forward all the way, the mower was popping wheelies.
3. I have read some reviews where they said the gas tank was to small, I never ran out of gas.
4. Overall I am glad I purchased this mower, I loved my 22 inch recycler and knew I would be buying a larger Toro push mower for my lawn.
5. Trying to mow with a smaller size push mower and having to take multiple breaks due to the heat and after 60 minutes I am finally finished, I knew I needed a larger area push mower, now I mow with no breaks and 30 minutes later I am done mowing.

Timemaster electric start.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is amazing!!
I was mowing the lawn like a peasant with my 21” AWD Toro. I can’t believe I use to have to pull a piece of string for my old one to start.
I turn the key on the Timemaster and it purrs like a Ferrari.
I am now the king of my yard!!!!

Another review.
I previously reviewed this mower as underpowered, and gets bogged down in any height of grass. The other day the blades stopped spinning after 10 uses. I took the front housing off, and saw the cable that pulls the pulley to the belt, was slack. I tightened, and it works like a dream. Highly suggest checking on this.

Tampa, FL. Replaced my 11yr old 22" craftsman self propelled mower with the electric start 30" toro timemaster. After two times mowing I'm very pleased. My mowing time is cut way down and this self propelled personal pace is effortless to use. No problem for me backing it up our mowing around trees or turns, weed eater mops up fine where I can't maneuver. It handles my thick long St Augustine grass without a problem. Bagging and mulching both are satisfactory and the cut is good. Electric start works fine. Seems well built, will see over time. You need a 34" or greater door or gate to get this machine through a fence, it barely fit between my pool and fence line but it made it, only one pass needed now. I gave 4 stars only due to the cost $$$ but for me it was worthwhile. I will update if needed but so far a good machine...
