3 motors, and countless parts, later I have come to the conclusion they aren't much better than what GIO sells, sure the Toro is a bit "higher" quality, but not high enough to merit the additional cost.
I did not google it $$, but I have a rough idea depending on model. Thats surprising really.
Based on your posts here as well as the GIO site, I see you're not exactly new to the mechanical world. By that I mean if i were required to use one of them it would be taken care of as Im sure you do as well. Even if you have a staff of mechanics I'm sure you check the oil and dont drive it in to the ground just beacause "the company" owns it.

So like I said, surprising to say the least because they are at least in the top 3 (or higher) for "reputation" and definatly price.
