Click here to see it in action.
BLOOMINGTON Minn. (November 12 2014) – Each year Popular Science magazine editors choose the top 100 innovative new products and this year the Toro Recycler® mower with SmartStow® vertical storage feature was picked as a top new product in the home category. Editors of the magazine look for products that solve a virtually unsolvable problem incorporating revolutionary ideas. The Recycler with SmartStow does just that.
This first-of-its-kind mower can be stored vertically reducing the storage footprint of your mower by up to 70%*. That means it takes up much less space in your garage or shed.
This breakthrough space-saving mower is possible in part due to Mow ‘N’ Stow technology by Briggs & Stratton®. With the Mow ‘N’ Stow engine there are no concerns about leaking gas or oil when you tip the mower upright. This patented technology features improved seals and gaskets a unique fuel tank design and a “no-weep” carburetor. All of these features combine to allow for vertical storage so your mower takes up less space.
“Our partnership with Briggs & Stratton allows us to provide homeowners with an innovative solution” explains Wade Tollison Jr. senior marketing manager at Toro. “Everyone can use more room in their garage. The Recycler with SmartStow literally gives you more space making it both revolutionary and practical.”
Adds Briggs & Stratton VP of Marketing Rick Zeckmeister “All of our innovations are based on what we hear directly from our consumer research and Mow ‘n’ Stow is no exception. In partnership with Toro we literally changed the way people will store their mower which gives them more garage space — something they said they desperately need. Receiving this recognition from the nationally renowned publication Popular Science further proves this is a breakthrough innovation.”
Pairing the Briggs & Stratton Mow ‘N’ Stow engine with a durable high-quality mulching mower makes it a great choice for any homeowner. This mower not only saves space it also saves you time when mowing. The Recycler with SmartStow features Toro’s large 22-inch deck with Recycler® mowing technology. Recycler mowers cut and recut the grass into a fine mulch then force the clippings deep into the turf. The result is a healthy lush lawn with a just-bagged look.
Powered by a 7.25 ft-lbs. gross torque** engine the Recycler with SmartStow is backed by Toro’s top guarantees so you know you can count on it for years to come. It features Toro’s three-year Guaranteed-to-Start promise: If your mower doesn’t start on one or two pulls Toro will fix it for free. A two-year full coverage warranty keeps you covered if anything goes wrong under normal use and maintenance. See your retailer for full warranty details.
The new Toro Recycler with SmartStow mower has a suggested promotional price of $349. Look for it at your local authorized Toro Dealer select The Home Depot™ stores ToroDealer.com or HomeDepot.com. For more information contact Toro toll free at 1-866-336-5205 or visit www.toro.com.
*Space savings are in relation to the space consumed by a Toro® 22” walk power mower that is stored with the handle in the standard operating position.
**7.25 ft-lbs. gross torque at 2600 rpm per SAE J1940. As rated by Briggs & Stratton. The gross torque of this engine was laboratory rated by the engine manufacturer in accordance with SAE J1940. As configured to safety emission and operating requirements the actual engine torque on this class of lawn mower will be significantly lower.
