The blade is an exact fit for my Toro 22" recycler. I noted the loft on the tips is a lot higher than the OE blade. It cuts about the same as OE and only a slight improvement on the mulch feature. I found that pushing the mower a lot slower (as with the OE blade) got slightly better results. I'm going to sharpen the blade as it came with a cutting edge that was more dull than the OE blade, and see what happens. So close to the end of season I don't know if it's really worth it but I'll do it anyway as part of regular maintenance.
