The 21466 puts Toro's best-known gas mower features on a battery platform. It has the same 22 in Recycler steel deck with Vortex Technology as the gas Personal Pace model, and the same Personal Pace Auto-Drive, which speeds up and slows down with your walking pace instead of using a speed dial. Toro lists it at $649.00 with a 60V Max L324 6.0Ah battery and charger. Toro rates it for up to 40 minutes, or up to 1/3 acre per charge, and recommends it for yards up to 1/2 acre, so larger lawns will need a second battery. Charging takes 150 minutes. The bag, mulch and optional side discharge setup matches the gas model, and the SmartStow handle lets it stand upright. At 85 lbs it is heavy for a battery mower, though the self-propel does most of the pushing. Toro backs it with a 2-year mower and 3-year battery warranty and points to nearly 4,000 servicing dealers in the US and Canada.
