Junk

Do not buy this mower. Had issues with parts falling off. Even a metal piece under the mower deck. Screws fell out of engine cover. I've had to replace the gas cap 3 times. O-ring keep falling off or breaking. Can't find replacement o-ring so had to buy new cap each time. Engine runs ruff. If it starts as long as it doesn't quit or stall it runs, but if you stop and shut it off it won't start again for at least a day. Totally junk. Can't find replace blade locally. It needs to be ordered. I do not recommend this mower.

Worst purchase ever!

I saw this and the price was great. This lawn mower is supposed to be self- propelled, it barely works. I'm 62 and it takes all my strength to push this mower. I have had other self-propelled, this one is horrible! If I could take it back, I would. I was hoping maybe after some use it might get better-NOT! DO NOT BUY!

I used this mower 4 times and it already won’t start. Sam’s club won’t take it back and yard force won’t replace it unless you send it to them for an “evaluation” even with warranty. They also do t pay the shipping costs for sending it them. Total waste of money.

broken channel arm guide

bought the mower last fall and have used it around 7 or 8 times. no need to cut the grass in the winter. was mowing my lawn today and the whole mower dropped to the lowest setting. I was very surprised to see the channel guide for the mower height arm laying on the ground next to the mower! Glad I didn't run it over that could have been very dangerous. (see the picture) Now the mower height is stuck at the bottom and cannot use the mower! will be returning the mower tomorrow and getting a refund. something like should not happen with less than 10 uses.

Excellent cheap self propelled lawnmower

First lawnmower I’ve ever assembled straight out of the box that started on first pull after adding oil and gas. Easy handled a yard that hasn’t been cut in 3 weeks due to constant rain. Self propelled moves brisk and effortlessly. Simple assembly and all parts present.

Verified Purchase

Engined stopped working during first use

Literally stopped working after about 30 minutes of use on a mostly flat yard and normal Bermuda grass. I bought the mower about 3 weeks prior and it started up just fine. Everything seemed ok then all of a sudden it sputtered and shut off like it was out of gas. Full tank of gas. Attempted to restart and the cord didnt engage on the engine. It just spun and retracted several times. It finally engaged and turned the engine but this time there was a lot of resistance and kind of a grinding feeling. Took it back to Sams the next day with no issues. Just had to empty the gas can. Would definitely not recommended. I immediately left Sams and went to Lowes and bought a Honda. Much better decision. You get what you pay for!

Good while it worked, only for 4 months.

While I did enjoy the mower and it did the job while it worked, it only worked for about 4 months. I used it very lightly, as I have a ride on mower for the majority of my yard, yet after no more than 4 uses it no longer stays running. It starts up and shuts right off. I'm sure that there is a fix for it, and I'm perfectly capable of doing so (I already changed the gas, cleaned the carburetor, etc.) however in no way should I have to perform repairs on a less than 6 month old machine after only 4 uses. Now, I'm out over $300 because it's past the 90 day return window from Sam's. Not their fault, but extremely poor manufacturing IMO.

Great to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This self propelled gas mower is easy to use and great to cut a lawn fast. It’s efficient and cuts down well! The storage bag for the cuttings is great and easy to dump after it fills. The back wheels being bigger make it smooth while pushing.

BRAND NEW & WON'T START

Bought this 2 days ago. Took almost an hour to put together as instructions are not clear. Mowed the back yard and it was okay. As stated by many, the speed of the self-propelled is way too fast so have to hold it halfway down at times and then it shakes. Grass bag got most of the grass but mower was still covered with grass that blew out of it. Stopped it to go the front yard. Now it doesn't start. Doesn't sound like it even wants to start! Will give it time to cool down and try again. Otherwise, it's going back to Sam's and will start over. 2nd lawnmower to possibly return this week. Bought a Toro Self-propelled from Lowe's 2 weeks ago and it died every time I tried to mow the grass as it sat down too low even on highest setting! Tired of looking at lawnmower reviews and reading that none of them have good ones!

Self propel stopped working & no warranty support

Self propel mechanism stopped working within the warranty period. I raised a ticket with YardForce customer support and they asked me to contact ACE hardware who apparently will not service YardForce. I contacted the customer support again and no reponse from them even after few follow-ups. They just closed my ticket.
