38282, 38272 specifications

The Toro 38272 and 38282 are two impressive models in the Toro lineup, showcasing innovative features and technologies designed to enhance the lawn care experience.

Both models are equipped with robust 60V lithium-ion batteries, ensuring lasting power and efficiency for various lawn maintenance tasks. This battery technology not only provides the necessary power to tackle tough jobs but also supports a quieter operation compared to traditional gas-powered equipment. With no emissions, these electric options are more environmentally friendly, appealing to the growing number of eco-conscious consumers.

One of the standout features of the Toro 38272 and 38282 is their easy-start functionality. The push-button start eliminates the hassle of pulling cords associated with gas engines, offering a seamless user experience. Additionally, these models include a safety key that enhances security by preventing unauthorized use.

With a 21-inch cutting width, they are ideally suited for medium-sized lawns, allowing users to maneuver easily around obstacles. Furthermore, these mowers offer multiple height adjustment settings, enabling users to fine-tune their preferred grass length, which is particularly beneficial during varying seasonal conditions.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the Smart Speed technology incorporated into the design of the Toro 38272 and 38282. This allows users to easily adjust the mower’s speed to cater to the terrain, whether it be slower for precision trimming or faster for clearing larger areas. This adaptability improves overall performance and enhances the user experience.

For convenience, both models feature a foldable handle design, making storage and transport easier. When not in use, they can be compactly stored away, saving valuable space in garages or sheds.

In summary, the Toro 38272 and 38282 mowers exemplify a blend of power, efficiency, and user-friendly features.
