The engine is under powered. Self propelled mode is slow and direct drive, does'tt disengage quickly and causes the mower to run into things like your pop up irrigation sprinklers. The ergonomics of the engine and self-propelled bars are horrible. Can you say carpel tunnel syndrome. I wish I could return it and buy something better. I don't recommend anyone to buy this product.

If something breaks there is no service even under warranty, they don't even know about their service centers. Their replacement part also not available in the market so you can not fix by yourself as well. My mover self propel control cable (1003007001 cable) broke and they do not have a replacement cable for last 5 months. They won't even send the part directly to you. Buying this product is just waste of time and money.

I bought this mower almost exactly 2 years ago, and it ran great every time I've used it up until last Friday. Out of nowhere now, when I try to start it, it fires right up for 3 seconds, then shuts off. It sounds like the governor settings are different or something as well. I've got a new air filter, a new spark plug, fresh gas that's been treated and lubed up, and cleaned all the linkages, but nothing has helped. I'm going to try to drain the gas tank and spray clean everything one more time.

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.

This is a powerful lawnmower that cuts well but it has a MAJOR design flaw. The gas cap will not stay locked while the mower is cutting and I eventually lost the cap after the mower chewed it up. I now have a mower that does not have a gas cap, making it useless. This problem should never have happened but the cheap design made it possible and I I don't have a contact number to reorder another defective cap.

Would not recommend. Grass catcher bag difficult to remove and replace. Does not start on the first pull as advertised do to auto choke feature. Hard to pull rope start. Must run on lowest speed and jerks as front drive wheels bounce when forward activated. Very heavy making it difficult to cut tight spaces. Speed lever hard to adjust.

I bought this May 23,2022. It did good the first mowing season. The end of the season we ran the gas out of the mower and stored it. Replaced the air filter, spark plug and mowed 1 time. Now it starts runs for maybe 20 seconds and dies. The 2 year warranty is a joke. They want you to pay the shipping charges to send it back to them. No one works on them where I live. So it is junk.

Literally stopped working after about 30 minutes of use on a mostly flat yard and normal Bermuda grass. I bought the mower about 3 weeks prior and it started up just fine. Everything seemed ok then all of a sudden it sputtered and shut off like it was out of gas. Full tank of gas. Attempted to restart and the cord didnt engage on the engine. It just spun and retracted several times. It finally engaged and turned the engine but this time there was a lot of resistance and kind of a grinding feeling. Took it back to Sams the next day with no issues. Just had to empty the gas can. Would definitely not recommended. I immediately left Sams and went to Lowes and bought a Honda. Much better decision. You get what you pay for!

RWD broke after using the mower three times. Merotec gave me a list of repair shops in my area for repair. I delivered the mower in June to the repair shop. It is now the middle of Sept. and the repair shop is still waiting on parts from Merotec to repair my mower.

It’s great lawn mower used for 3 month now
