I bought this mower in May of 2020. I bought it mostly on price and had relatively low expectations. The Briggs & Stratton engine was more powerful than I had expected. The engine has also been reliable. I DO change the oil each season - pump it out of the crankcase. The self-propel function failed this summer. The parts to repair it were readily available on line. Changing out a failed transmission ($22!) is a high skill job. I replaced the belt as well. With the possible exception of the engine, the rest of the mower is made with low durability parts. I will be surprised if I get another 3 years of reliable service. I have a medium size city lot.

Terrible experience with Yard Force! My self-propelled mower broke, and I've been dealing with their warranty process since May 7th. I've sent in all the necessary documents, but they keep giving me the runaround. First, they said they didn't have anyone in my area to fix it, so I had to drive 2 hours away. Then, they promised to find a closer location, but that never happened. Now, they're saying they need to approve the repair, even though I already received approval via email. I'm extremely frustrated with their customer service. When I finally get my mower back, I'll be selling it and buying a new one from Lowe's. Sorry Sam's they did me dirty. Torro it is...

Price was great but right out of the box the self-propelled feature didn’t work properly. It kept starting then stopping, forcing you to push the mower. We’ve had several self propelled mowers over the years but we’ve never seen something like this happen. We returned it.

Don’t buy this mower or you will be returning it soon. The rear wheel drive broke within 5 minutes of use When I returned it, someone else just returned another one for the same reason. Then to top it off, Sam’s Club says my credit back on my credit card won’t be available for a week. Bad product and bad service on Sam.s part

I thought rear wheel drive would be good. I was wrong. There is no throttle control and you would have to be an athlete to run behind this mower. Instructions say to fully engage the drive bar and not partially pull the bar back warning it will damage. I mowed on two different days and I spent more time holding the mower back making my arms hurt. Too powerful and need to be able to control speed. Only good thing was ease of start, thus two stars. Returned to Sam's without difficulty.

I got exactly 3 uses out of this mower before it quit. Sams would do nothing as I didn’t purchase the protection plan. Called manufacturer who gave me an automated number for support. Called back and was told to contact local contracted repairer who told me wait time for repair was 8-9 weeks.

Have had problems with recoil on motor and had to repair it myself as the business they wanted me to take it to was unreasonably out of my way. Now the self-propel is slipping and two businesses refuse to do warranty work on anything from this company.

Got this mower to help me after I got Covid. Good power, I let it help me up slopes when I was recovering. Does move at a good pace. Height adjustment is the best, easy and sturdy. I use mulch all the time, in fall mulching Honey Locust seed pods into the grass. Turns much easier after wheel edges round with use. The power drive works fine. though looks a bit weak, so I push as I engage it into drive. Starts first or second pull. I have a 6K sq ft, 4 level yard and at 71 years old, like this mower better than any mower I have ever had

It was okay but it doesn't cut grass short enough

Easy to assemble and runs great. The ability to collapse the handle for storage is a plus.
