Toro produce some really excellent petrol machinery, and the SmartStow is no different. Ideal for larger lawns thanks to its wide width of cut (55cm), it can cope with all sorts of conditions too. The large rear wheels (28cm) means that it can move easily across uneven terrain and power its way through longer grasses. There’s a single lever height adjustment so you can vary your grass height throughout the year with a minimum of fuss. The deck wash port means that you’ll be able to clean under the mower and get rid of any grass cuttings which might be restricting the airflow to the deck.

With three different cutting modes as standard you can take advantage of the large collection bag for a tidy lawn, utilise the mulching function to restore moisture to your turf, or opt for side discharge when you need to save time. There’s something for everyone, and it’s simple to switch between the three modes as well. With variable speed self propulsion between 2 and 4.2 mph you’ll be whizzing around the garden and wondering how you ever coped without it.

All this, and there’s a 2 year guaranteed start warranty for home-use as well!

Not only do you get all of the features we’ve mentioned, we’ve actually saved the best one of all for last. This Toro Recycler Mower is a really powerful, hardworking and high quality mower, it’s also a little different. Most petrol mowers (especially ones designed for larger lawns) take up quite a lot of space, and not everyone’s got the room in which to store them. This is where the SmartStow bit comes in: this mower will fold down quickly and easily to an impressively small size so you can tuck it up on any corner. It even features a specially manufactured engine which is designed to be stored vertically. This means it takes up around 70% less space than a petrol mower of comparable size. Another benefit is you can easily get to the underside of the deck for cleaning and to change the blade without having to worry about flooding the engine or causing any damage.
