I guess you get what you pay for these days. We bought this, the cheapest mower we could find, to finish cutting my 1/3 acre yard after my John Deere lawn tractor died. I searched high and low for used mowers under $100 to no avail. Then I checked out Walmart, Home Depot and Lowes. Nothing under $350. I had no idea push mowers have gotten so expensive. Seeing this mower on sale at Sam's Club for $279 seemed like a bargain. First appearances were great. It is a beautiful machine and very easy to assemble. Start up took 3 pulls but that was acceptable. I didn't find the pace of the self-propelled mode to be too brisk for my 72 year old body. However, I am finding the engine to be vastly underpowered for my Texas grass. I often had to go over the same spot multiple times to get an even cut. When I hit a particularly thick patch the mower stopped and I had a helluva time getting it restarted in the 90+ degree heat. I did finally get the yard cut after far more effort than I had hoped. Can't wait for my John Deere to be repaired and returned because this baby just doesn't cut it (pun intended). Hopefully I can just use it to trim along my fenceline and house. Definitely not ideal for my full yard. As for the complaints about the blade - mine seemed a bit dull but I intend to take take it off and hand sharpen it in a vise next go 'round.

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

We used it twice and when we tried to start it the 3rd time, the cord pulley locked up

Easy to setup. Started on first pull. Light to maneuver with self propelled

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

Husband loves this mower. We purchased it on-line and it was delivered right to our doot.

It’s great lawn mower used for 3 month now

Slow than previous lawnmower

Easy to set up. Light weight, adjustable handle. Love it.
