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.

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.

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.

I have had many self propelled mowers. When i bought this one I thought it was a good deal. I was shocked to find out when using it that it only has a one speed transmisson. It either goes or stops.I like more contol of the pace that i walk than this. Now I know why its cheaper than the rest.

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.

I see some bad reviews here but I must've gotten a good one. I never give anything a 5 star rating. Have beat on the thing hard for I think starting the 4th season now & it's done everything I could’ve asked for and more. I use all 3 modes and when mulching, if I go over heavy leaves twice (once forward & once backwards) it literally makes them disappear. It does work better going backwards when mulching but that's not even a complaint. Haven't raked or bagged a leaf since getting it. I just blow all the leaves from the driveway, etc. onto my lawn & mulch everything.

We bought this mower for my youngest's house. We used it the first time and it worked great. When we tried to use it the second time it sputtered for half the yard then died and would no longer start. Very disappointed and wil be returning it and purchase something different.

Self propelled lever is flimsy. Bolt fell off first use. Unable to tighten properly.

Good mower. Easy to start and use. Lawn looks good when finished. Very pleased.

he loves it.....says it is very easy to use and cuts great...
