My husband and I are going shopping this weekend for a new riding Lawn Mower. He wants a John Deere while I prefer the Toro. In order to settle this argument, I am going to go online tonight and get some reviews of each product from actual users. I find those to be the best in helping me make a decision. I realize experts test these machines, yet they often do it under controlled circumstances. How many of them have run over a G.I. Joe left in the yard by a five year old? After reading reviews, my husband and I will make a decision and head out to shop.
