It's time for a new mower for Mom .
The Toro Personal Pace lasted 11 seasons but there are things that will keep me from buying another one .
1 ) The absolutely asinine procedure to change the oil . ( flip MOWER upside down and drain )
2) ) The electric starting system always seemed weak and was sub-par .
The essentials :
Must be electric start ( she's 77 years young )
Must be side discharge .
What I'd like to see :
Front caster type wheels .
I'd also like to see if any electric start mowers have charging systems rather than plugging a battery into the wall when finished . Probably not one on the market but I haven't shopped around yet .
Money isn't an issue either within reason .
