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!

Verified Purchase

Adjustable push bar means no more sore back!

Usually I have past few decades bought the return mowers from the big box hardware stores. However past couple years pickings were slim so I went with this. Glad I did the handle I fully extended and I rotated up. As a tall guy most mower handles usually hit me in the gut. But with this elevated and extended adjustment it put all the work to my arms and shoulders. For the first time in many years the effort wasn't in my back and I enjoyed mowing with no back pain. Engine ran good and it practically jumps to go once you engage it. Tiresome holding the running bar down after a while but what can you do. Over it was a win for me biggest plus is how adjustable the handle is.

Halfway Decent Lawnmower

I only used it twice before a part under the mower deck broke. My home is on sloping terrain. This mower has plenty of power to pull itself effortlessly up a hill. I was also impressed with the Vertical Storage capability. I did not consider this feature in my purchase decision, but it did save a lot of space in my shed. Unfortunately, I hit an unseen object that caused damage to a plastic drive belt cover under the mower deck. I tried finding a replacement part but had no success. I was told by the Yard Force designated parts supplier that the part I needed was on back order. They could not give me a date of when the part would be available. So, I returned the lawnmower to the store where I purchased it four week earlier. I give this mower 3 stars. Mainly for a poorly designed but critical plastic part in close proximity to the cutting blade. And also, the unavailability of repair parts, and the limited sources of repair parts.

don't buy

Have used this lawnmower for one and a half cutting seasons, maybe 15 mows, and it has broken twice. This time it's the control cable part number1003007001, which has been out of stock for over 4 months. Terrible customer service and terrible lawn mower.

Disappointed

Mower is easy to start and does ok but the self propelled speed is VERY SLOW! I’ve used the mower maybe 10 times and the engine is already sputtering like gas had water in it. I even emptied the tank and filled it with different gas but it’s still sputtering. I don’t recommend this mower.

self propel terrible power

I love everything about the mower except for 1 of the very main reasons I bought it. The self propel is so weak you can barely tell it has it. All the other features are great, but if you are buying it to keep from having to push it then you might want to consider another mower.

3 Repair bills later!

I bought this mower over a year ago. Some of the things they say about it are true but unless you are really talented enough to change a habit that has been formed over many years, you will spend endless trips getting the drive repaired . The mower is easily started and mows the grass smoothly but the rear wheel drive is not working and I don't plan to have it repaired again.

Very Pleased!

I was unsure about buying this mower because I saw some reviews that said it went too fast. Well, I am a 57 year old Man and am used to a regular push mower and the speed of the self propelled is slow than I would walk. I really like the fact that when the self propelled is not engaged, it pushes as easy as a regular mower. I have used it 4 times and have 1/4 acre of mowing. I can cut the lawn faster and don't get as tired out! I got mine on sale and would highly recommend it! My only concern is that now we have E85 Gas so I am looking for a gas station that sells gas with zero ethanol. E85 will eat up the fuel system of small engines.

It was great...until it wasn't.

Picked it up on 5/24/2024 on sale for $300 so if it would've lasted the entire season, I'd have been happy. But it didn't even last a full 4 months. As of the other day, moving like perfect & just quit running. Gave it some time & tried to start but got nothing but rumbling/knocking. I'm not messing with it. I called my local Sam's where we bought it from & they said to just make sure no gas is in it & bring it in for a return. We'll be returning it today.

Some good, some bad

I purchased this mower about a month ago. The good:. No choke start and usually starts on the first pull. The bad: it is hard for me to keep the mower in a straight line for some reason. The front of the mower seems to lift up when I mow over an uneven section of the yard. I never had this issue with a front wheel drive mower. Also, the speed of the self propel is outrageously fast. My neighbor has the same mower and has the same issue. In other reviews, the company responded that it is set to some standard, but with my personal experience, my neighbors experience and the other reviews, I find that hard to believe. My last self propelled mower was about half the speed of this one.
