I think Lawn Boy is the only company making 2 cycle lawn mowers. (and they may have stopped)

So, it’s been several days, and Consumer Reports has not arrived yet, so screw them. I bought today a Toro model 20070 Recycler mower, which has rear wheel drive, personal pace, and electric start for 299 (it was a last year model closout). All of the new models for this year have a “cleanout” thingie where you can hook up a hose to clean out the deck, mine does not.

I’m sure I’ll find out that this was the worst model of Toro I coudl buy once I finally get my magazine, but for now, it seems like a nice machine. It snowed today, so I have not used it yet.
