Winnowl Verdict
Even though the Toro Recycler 22-in 60-volt Self-Propelled Battery Walk Mower just cleared our audit with a MEDIOCRE (66) Winnowl Index, that score is really a sign that you're paying for the name on the box more than the actual features you're getting. You’re looking at an Average Performance and Mediocre Value product here, but it’s coming from a company with Strong Brand Strength, so you're definitely paying a premium just for that name on the box. If you're looking at the Toro Recycler 22-in 60-volt Self-Propelled Battery Walk Mower with (1) 8Ah Battery Included, the specs show that you will likely be forced to wait several hours for a recharge which effectively restricts your ability to finish large jobs in one day simply because that Charging Time of 216 mins sits 103% beyond the class average. Honestly, we’d suggest a hard pivot from this Brand Tax product; that 3% higher price tag results in 7% less hardware for your dollar than the class average, so you're really not getting much for the extra cash.
