Achieve Pro-Level Lawn Stripes With the Toro Stripe Self-Propelled Lawn Mower
With battery-powered gear killing it in terms of quality, manufacturers are motivated to push the envelope on gas-equivalent performance. But are consumers still hung up on the cut quality achieved with a cordless unit? Should they be? With that question in mind, we’re going to take a tour of the 60V Toro Stripe Dual-Blade Mower.

Toro Stripe Performance
- Runtime: Up to 65 minutes (with 7.5Ah battery)
- Blade Design: Dual stacked
- 3-in-1 Discharge: Bag, Mulch, Rear-discharge
- Min. Cut Height: 1 in.
- Max Cut Height: 4 in.
Kicking off performance, this mower utilizes a stacked dual-blade system rather than a single-blade like the Toro 60V Super Recycler Personal Pace Mower. It also employs Toro’s Recycler cutting system, which mulches clippings and feeds them back into your lawn as nutrients.
In addition to mulching, you can either bag the clippings or simply set it up for rear discharge.
Furthermore, there’s an optional side-discharge attachment. You can get this accessory, but first, you have to register your mower on Toro’s website .
On top of that, the Toro Stripe Dual-Blade mower runs on a brushless motor that gives you a runtime of up to 65 minutes, or yards that are about 2/3 of an acre, per charge. And remember, grass and mowing conditions, such as moisture content, grass height, and lawn density, will affect your overall runtime.
The Toro Stripe Dual-Blade mower includes a fast charger with the kit that should have you back in the yard in roughly 70 minutes.

The Toro Stripe Dual-Blade mower also has a 21-inch polymer cutting deck for a lightweight design. According to Toro, this mower is up to 25% lighter than its 60V Recycler model, at 73 pounds.
Its lighter design makes this mower easy to maneuver around landscaping borders and yard fixtures.
Additionally, this 60V mower utilizes a variable speed dial, so you can quickly match your mowing speed to your preferred walking pace.
And while you’re making your way through the yard, this model’s plastic striper lays the grass blades down in the direction that you’re mowing. This leaves your grass with the classic appearance of professional-looking stripes.
Our team tested this feature on a neighbor’s Zoysia grass and the results were noticeable on this softer species. We also tested this mower back at our shop on some healthy St. Augustine grass, however, the striping effect wasn’t as noticeable.
There are three handle-height positions for you to choose from. And when you’re finished mowing, they fold in for vertical storage.
To adjust the deck height, there are levers on the right side of the mower that control the front and rear wheels separately. These levers allow you to incrementally adjust the height from 1 inch up to 4 inches.
| Height Position | Deck Height |
| 1 | 1 in. |
| 2 | 1-3/8 in. |
| 3 | 1-3/4 in. |
| 4 | 2-1/8 in. |
| 5 | 2-1/2 in. |
| 6 | 2-7/8 in. |
| 7 | 3-1/4 in. |
| 8 | 3-5/8 in. |
| 9 | 4 in. |
