Check the blade

Happy with this lawn mower until the blade fell off while using for the second time! Not sure why this happened but just glad no one was hurt. The instruction tells you how to adjust the drive- otherwise it wants to take off when you use it. Since I reattached the blade it has been working well.

Does what needs to be done

For the low cost I can’t complain. I get laughed at by turtles when I use the drive on flat ground, but it’s good for going up hills and getting started when in a rut. I tightened the engagement cable as much as possible but it made no difference so I think the single speed is creep. The large rear wheels make pushing pretty easy so it’s fine. Starts and runs well.

Very Happy!

So far, I'm loving it! The first one shipped had a bent handle, but the return & replace process was seamless and pain-free, and my second mower was perfect. Assembly was very easy! I was wondering about the speed because I'd seen several comments about it being too fast, but I actually could go a little faster. I love that the self-propulsion is so easy to engage/disengage. Also, I've had trouble with clogging mulchers in the past, but this one if great!

This was a game changer ! Would recommend !

Putting this mower together was fairly simple . I am a senior citizen and needed something that would help me get my slanted yard mowed without pulling a muscle . Wasn't pleased with paying for a person to mow that left it looking sloppy . Used it for the first time and my yard looked better than it had in a year !

RWD lawn mower

I wanted to love this lawnmower but I didn't realize it was rear wheel drive. When I went to try it out I almost fell as it just took off on me. It was hard to mow around trees and land scape as you had to use as just a push mower and on an uneven yard it was hard to push. I did return it with no problems. Might work for a younger person to fast foe me.

Hello Jack,I apologize that your experience with our single-speed mower was faster than expected. The rear-wheel drive, which excels in maintaining traction on slopes, can take some getting used to if you're unfamiliar with it.Best regards, Jim

Bought it had to return it a month after purchase.and exchange for another one. The replacement s drive cable broke after warranty ran out and couldn't find a replacement. Now the mower body is rusted out and has a hole in it. The Briggs and Stratton motor is great. It starts with one pull. Runs like new. The mower isn't very good. Made in China. I don't recommend

Unhappy customer

This mower has a self propeller that jumps forward too fast. I have no control over smaller areas around trees etc...It's almost too dangerous for me to operate. I am returning it. I need something that goes at my pace where I have more control. Plus the handles you have to hold down are too far apart. It is lightweight and works well but a terrible match for what I need.

Thank you for purchasing the Yard Force 21" Self-Propelled Mower. I am sorry that the mower was not a good match for what you needed. It sounds like a variable speed mower would be a better fit for what you are looking for. We now offer a variable speed version on Sam's Club.com, it is item # 990450375. It will have all the features you like on the mower you have now but with the added control of variable speed drive. We have agents available if you would like to discuss the issues with your current mower or if you would like more information on our variable speed version.

Excellent Lawnmower

Lawnmower performs it's job perfectly, and made short work of some very tall grass. It didn't bog down or die even once, and it's actually more powerful than I thought it would be. It does everything it's advertised to do, and I'm very happy with this purchase!

Bought and need a cable for the drive and self-propelled took it to a different dealer and because it’s a foreign part, they don’t carry it. I did get a hold of a different company and theirs is out of stock which has been since May so now I’m sitting with a mower that technically runs. It’s just not self-propelled no more would not recommend this to anyone you call the company and they don’t sell replacement parts

Great mower for 1:2 or less acre

Used it once since I got it. Did the job. Seems sturdy and well built. Love the cutting deck lever. So easy to raise and lower the deck with one lever. I wonder about the never change the engine oil thing. Not sure how that works so I’ll probably still change the oil anyway. The RWD is great. I have a bad back and the assist is nice to have. I use it to cut a 1/4 acre. Unless you enjoy the walking I’d say 1/2 acre or less and this mower is great for the task. It was shipped in good condition and it was super easy to assemble.
