I found this rear wheel self propelled was very hard to keep up with and turn without having to constantly trying to get the right throttle to keep a save pace. . I cut two strips and returned it. I would much rather have a front wheel drive for control

I just bought this mower and used it the next day to mow my yard. I was mowing in about 30 minutes after opening the box. It started on the second pull. Several times I mistakenly stopped the engine trying to disengage the drive. I got the hang of it by the end of mowing. The drive speed is about one third slower than I like to mow (normal walking speed). This mower moves at a very slow walk. It will be a more appropriate speed when the weather heats up and the grass gets really thick. I would give it five stars if it went faster.

Decent performance so far. Under the umbrella of China company Sumec and mostly made there so kind of expensive for a Chinese made mower imo. Looking for parts now. Other than blade or air filter or possible generic parts you have to contact company I suppose. No parts listing with part numbers in the manuals and can't get a parts manual. Have to contact someone and submit a request. Kind of a hassle to work on your own equipment that way.

Hi my kids now love mowing the lawn using this lawnmower. I am told it moves and makes it very easy to use. Pretty much they just guide the lawnmower. We like that it has a bagger and can be used 3 ways. Great for our small fairly level lot to mow on. Would recommend this lawnmower others.

Easy assembly. First pull start. Put this machine in gear and we are off to the races. This speed is a SAFETY hazard,I'm going to modify the speed somehow. MEROTEC asked me for this review and promised to send me a new lawnmower blade...I hope the speed of this machine doesn't cause me to lose control and run over something ruining the blade!!!!

Bought this one since it was the last day for the $50 off. The box fit in the back seat of my new Nissan Sentra. Got it home and pretty self explanatory to assemble. My 10 year old started on first pull and was off to the races literally. The rear drive was pretty peppy. I tried it myself and once the drive started it slowed down a tad just the initial takeoff. So far so good.

Opted to purchase this mower because of the instant savings offer. Fortunately, it had everything I want in a push mower. I was looking for all metal frame to the front tires because my last mower had a plastic component that broke in the front. I wanted a 22 in cut rather than 21 in if possible. I also wanted the bag feature as well as an engine over 150cc. Needless to say this has all of the above and includes a rear wheel self propelled feature that can be used as well. After assembly, it started on the first pull. I subsequently bagged my lawn so had a few stop and restarts to empty the bag. It fired up on the first try every single time. I also love the ability to adjust deck height to all four wheels with just one lever. I hope this mechanism and the mower stand the test of time. Overall I am very pleased with the purchase.

This mower cuts great and provides excellent results. Drive speed is similar to my old mower (Husq. 775EX) but has larger drive wheels, is lighter but has a higher center of gravity making turner while on a hill a little tricky. It also has a smooth drive clutch without the glitch my Husq. had. The side release directs the grass to low for my liking even when on a high wheel setting.

This is my first (probably last) rear-wheel self-propelled mower. It starts real easily and runs great. It leaves more glades of grass standing than any mower I've ever had. My biggest problem with it is that the lowest setting is too low and the second setting is too high. I've never had a mower with that much space between the two lowest settings. It worth the cost, but my next mower will be a front whell drive.

Night this for my parents. Super easy assembly. I've never ever seen a pull start mower start so easily. The self propelled feature is a fast, my older mother had a hard time keeping up with it. I wish it would adjust the speed. Overall we really love it and I'm happy.
