At an estimated cost of around $750, the mower provides electric start capability, a compact design and a 26-inch mowing deck. The mower is best suited for smooth lawns without rocky surfaces. Its lightweight construction also makes it less than ideal for heavier users.
- The Toro LX420 earned the award for best entry-level riding lawn mower from the consumer buying guide website, Galt Tech.
