1. FWD is awful anytime you use a rear bag. As the bag fills, the mower naturally tips rearward which reduces traction in the front. If the grass isn't completely dry, the front wheels slip entirely and if you're not careful you get muddy ruts.
2. This is a "personal-pace" mower. I don't have an electric "personal pace" mower but I have an ICE super recycler with "personal pace". I presume they operate the same. It matches your walking speed. When you stop walking to turn, it stops moving. When you turn the mower, you just tip the mower back and turn like it was non-self-propelled. Compared to mowers where you set your driving speed with a lever or knob, personal pace is magical.
Having said all that, I don't trust that Toro will keep their battery platform alive long enough to justify buying one of these. With normal maintenance, I'm confident my ICE super recycler will last 20+ years. Will you be able to buy batteries for this in 15 years? Who knows...

I still think its dumb that the goverment mandated univeral cell phone chargers, but we still have 15 manufactures of 60v mowers that are incompatible. And its really dumb when it comes to the greenworks oems, where you have 4 brands, and each one just has a slight change to the plastic housing.

Dewalt abandoned their 40V platform shortly before covid. At the time, the 20/60V "Flexvolt" platform was aimed at consumers while 40V targeted professionals. The 40V platform lasted a couple years before Dewalt pulled the plug. (What's funny is Dewalt has since gone back to offering 40V tools, just in a 2x20 configuration).
Echo ditched their 58V platform and introduced a new 56V platform back in 2021. You can still get old-stock 58V batteries for now but they're not being made anymore.
Oregon used to have a 120V battery platform for outdoor equipment. They killed it a couple years ago in favor of a new 40V platform.
I'm sure there are other, smaller companies. These are just the ones that come to mind.

I prefer turning with a FWD mower. I simply push down on the handle and it stops moving and I make my corner.
I think RWD is good when you have hills. Otherwise, FWD is really easy to use.
