Toro's 30 inch eTimeMaster stands out as a wide, time saving battery mower with a huge 2 by 10 amp hour battery bundle and Toro's Personal Pace drive. The extra cutting width and dual blade setup are the main appeal for larger lawns, and the included batteries make the $999 price look strong versus other 30 inch electrics. The tradeoffs are weight, at about 153 pounds, and reports of heavy battery use, belt driven parts, and weaker cut quality or suction than the gas version. It reads as a capable but demanding mower for bigger yards.
Common Questions (5)
Real-world estimates put it around 2/3 acre on the included 2x10Ah batteries, with max mode draining power much faster. For larger or dense lawns, runtime can drop enough that the wide 30-inch deck saves time but not necessarily battery swaps.
Yes. The 30-inch cutting path and dual-blade setup can cut mow time substantially versus a 21-inch mower, with one comparison dropping from about 55 minutes to 40 minutes and another noting it saves a lot of time on a 2/3-acre yard.
It includes two 10Ah batteries, which is a much larger bundle than many 30-inch competitors that ship with 2x6Ah packs. At $999, it is priced far below the 30-inch Ego kit mentioned at $1,799.99, making the battery bundle and mower package hard to beat.
The electric version is reported to cut worse than the gas Timemaster, especially in tall grass where suction is weaker and the grass may not stand up as well. The gas model is described as having stronger debris-blowing and overall cut performance.
It is heavy at about 153 pounds, so it is aimed at larger lawns rather than easy lifting or tight storage. The self-propelled system also requires the blades to be engaged, which can make pushing it into a garage or maneuvering it less convenient.

Or look for Ego model LM2236SP at Lowes. It was previously on sale (July 4 and beyond) for $799.00, but Lowes sales on this mower are not often. This money comes with one 10ah battery. The electronic display is not lcd but lights. My eyes are weak but I can read the display and lights even in the bright sun. Both mowers are great. I have the LM2236SP mower and ran it on blade speed one (slowest) in 100 degree Florida heat in the sun. I pushed it most of the time while cutting medium high bahia grass. It ran for around 65 minutes before the battery was depleted or over heated. I think it was both. I am since much more careful. I've used the mower many times since then and the run time is great.

If you're looking to cut a large lawn, this isn't really isn't good at doing that, if you want a good cut, this isn't good at that either. :-\ If you already have Toro tools and are looking for extra batteries with an average mower, or if you have money burning a hole in your pocket, those are the only scenarios that I would recommend people buy this mower.
I have so much regret and wish that I bought the larger Ego or even Ryobi 30" mowers, this is one of my most regretful battery operated purchases.

Speaking of... I should probably pop the cover off mine and clean/adjust mine. I noticed it seemed to take a little longer to engage the blades when I mowed the other day after like 6 weeks of not mowing (hot/dry july - yard was basically completely dormant). I've had it like 6 years now and all I've really had to do is the occasional oil change, blade sharpening, and cleaning out the deck.
All the bearings still felt nice and solid. The timing belt between the two blades looked & felt great - no need for adjustment.

For the person looking for the 30" Ego mower, you can find it on their site (which also shows other places it can be ordered) but they do come dear.
