Our verdict
A solid American import for buyers who want a pro-grade cordless from a heritage brand. Toro is enormous in the US; the UK presence is growing but limited. Build quality is excellent. The battery ecosystem is the weakness in the UK market specifically.
Pros & cons
Pros
- American Toro pedigree — pro-grade American design
- 60V Flex-Force shares with Toro outdoor tools
- 53cm cut + self-propel
- SmartStow vertical storage
Cons
- Toro UK distribution thinner than US

Buying second-hand
