From Toro news room:
"Toro has been long recognized as the innovator in helping customers care for their property," notes Aran Brosnan, senior marketing manager at Toro. "Part of that innovation includes new features, such as the Vortex Technology™ on the enhanced Recycler mowers, which increases airflow to supercharge grass cutting."
Toro's patented Vortex Technology is powered by an intake system that fuels the cutting chamber with additional airflow. The air infusion whirls grass clippings around the cutting chamber at a faster rate, either shredding them into ultra-fine clippings or shooting them into the newly-designed Super Bagger with increased velocity. The improved aerodynamics create grass clippings that act as Lawn Vitamins™ nourishing a healthier lawn.
For those times of the year when lawn maintenance requires additional cleanup, users can throw on Toro's new Super Bagger. Combining Vortex Technology with enhanced bag-fill capabilities, the mower is transformed into a lawn vacuum, leaving the yard looking pristine after the seasonal cleanup. Additionally, the new, tapered bag design promotes easier, cleaner bag emptying."
The feature amounts to what looks like a perforated vent located on the top of the deck in front of the engine. I was starting to think that this might be a viable feature until they started talking about "lawn vitamins", which is where they lost me as I began to notice that this is aimed at folks who don't already know that mulching can provide nutrition to the lawn.
What do you think? Does this sound like something that will enhance the cut quality of a mower?
