I assembled the mower without assistance. Believe me, that is an huge accomplishment :) My son and I have used the mower a couple of times so far and have been very impressed with its performance. The 22 inch deck and 1 lever height adjustment are definitely a plus. I overlooked this mower last year .....big mistske; Very good buy for the money.

So far, so good. Based on some of the 1 & 2 star reviews, I was worried that this lawnmower was either going to be great or horrible. Blessedly, it has worked really great. My father is 75 and he loves it and has not had any issues! P.S....he loves the self-propelled rear-wheel drive!!

The throttle was set to high for me to operate. I could not safely turn it.

Easy to assemble, began using 1 hr after opening box

Mowes really good. However you have to hurry to keep up with it.

Mower does a good job; however you need to wear your running shoes to keep up with it.

One of the best I ever have

Does not cut well, speed not good, would not recommend

Great mower and easy to assemble.

Starts at the first pull - every time. Has plenty of power. Well worth the cost of the mower
