A Toro robot mower and two Harbor Freight products feature in recent maker and retailer announcements and listings. The Toro HAVEN AM75 comes first here. However, every figure below is the maker’s or retailer’s own, and none comes from an independent test.
Toro HAVEN AM75 robot mower on Toro’s Equip Expo home list
Toro said on October 14 that it would show new home equipment at Equip Expo in Louisville, Kentucky, set for October 20 to 23, according to its release on PR Newswire. That release names four products, and the Toro HAVEN AM75 robot mower is one of them.
According to Toro, the Toro HAVEN AM75 is built for yards as large as three-quarters of an acre. The release also says it steers with LiDAR laser scanning and uses cameras to spot obstacles. In addition, Toro says the mower can map a lawn by itself, or an owner can guide it around the edge with a phone app and mark areas to skip.
Toro’s release on its 2027 home lineup says sales through Toro dealers, toro.com and major retailers begin in 2027. Meanwhile, Toro’s product page for model 20512 showed a $1,999 price on October 25. That page also lists mowing on slopes up to 42%, about three hours of run time and a 1.5-hour charge.
Toro’s Equip Expo release also names three other machines. They are a redesigned 50-inch TimeCutter riding mower aimed at lots of up to two acres, a 24-inch Power Max HD two-stage snow blower, and a TITAN MAX MyRIDE Longhorn limited to 1,000 numbered units, according to Toro. The company first announced that snow blower in a September release.
Why it matters
For a homeowner, the Toro HAVEN AM75 now has a stated size limit and a listed price, both from Toro’s own pages. Still, Toro’s lineup release puts sales in 2027, so the $1,999 figure is what Toro’s page listed on October 25, and it may change before the mower’s due 2027 sale date. Moreover, a yard bigger than three-quarters of an acre or steeper than 42% falls outside what Toro itself claims for the mower.
Harbor Freight lists Predator generator rated 14,500 starting watts
Harbor Freight’s product page listed a Predator tri-fuel portable generator, item 73151, at $1,499.99 on October 25, for sale in stores only. The listing also marks it as new and California compliant. In addition, it describes a 500cc, 17 hp engine with electronic fuel injection and a key fob that starts it from up to 100 feet away.
According to the listing, the 14,500-watt figure is starting output on gasoline, with 11,000 running watts. The same page puts propane at 13,000 starting and 10,000 running watts, and natural gas at 11,000 and 9,000. A switch selects the fuel, Harbor Freight says.
Harbor Freight also lists run times at half load of 11.5 hours on gasoline and 16.3 hours on a 100 lb propane tank. The page describes CO SECURE, which Harbor Freight says turns the generator off when it senses carbon monoxide building to harmful levels. That is the retailer’s description, not an independent finding. Per the same listing, the unit weighs 227 lbs.
Why it matters
Running output is lower than starting output on every fuel, by Harbor Freight’s own figures. As a result, the 14,500-watt number describes a gasoline peak rather than steady output. Because the retailer sells it only in stores and lists it at 227 lbs, buying one means a store visit for a heavy machine.
Harbor Freight’s BAUER line gets a 5.5-gallon wet/dry vacuum
Harbor Freight announced the BAUER 5.5-gallon, 5 peak horsepower wet/dry vacuum on September 8, according to its newsroom. The release says the vacuum sells only at Harbor Freight stores and harborfreight.com. It also lists an 8 ft hose, two extension wands, a pleated cartridge filter and three cleaning attachments.
Harbor Freight’s product page for item 71766, model 2652E-B5, listed the vacuum at $79.99 on October 25. That page also rates airflow at 95 CFM and gives a 9 amp, 120V rating, a 10½ ft cord and a 90-day warranty. In addition, it describes a blower port and a fit with BAUER’s modular tool storage.
Why it matters
The 5 peak horsepower figure is Harbor Freight’s own rating, and its product page adds more specific numbers in 95 CFM of airflow and a 9 amp draw. Therefore, a shopper has concrete figures to set beside other listings. Meanwhile, the $79.99 price is what the website showed on one date, so it records that moment rather than a standing price.
