Our new lawn mower,a Toro Super Recycler,the old Toro(it was 5 years old),was making whining noise and then the belt went,could smell burnt rubber and no power to push it.We took it to the place to get it fixed,waited a week,they were supposed tot phone us to give us an estimate as to how much the repairs would be,so Mom phoned them,it was going to $300,so decided to get a new one,really like it so far,easy to start,mulches leaves really small,has a hose attachment on top,you hook up a hose to it,turn the water on and then the mower and it cleans the Mower underneath,no need to tip it up and scrape it by hand.
