It has not been even two years, lightly used and it would not start. I will try fixing it under warranty, nut I am not quite hopeful after calling manufacture's dealer. I will NOT RECOMMED it.

RWD failed in first few months and repairman said transmission and gears were plastic with no parts available to repair. Had all gears removed so now it’s a push mower. Not worth the price even when on sale.

1-Year Usage Review After using this product for a year, I can say it performs well in terms of power — it’s definitely strong and gets the job done. However, there are some downsides in the long run: It feels too shaky, which makes it difficult for everyone to operate comfortably. Over time, the engine has started producing a lot of noise, which wasn’t an issue in the beginning. Clearly, this is not a long-term runner — durability becomes a concern after extended use. Overall, it’s good if you’re looking for raw power, but not ideal for smooth, quiet, or long-lasting performance.

We have had the Yard Force for 3 years now, we bought it on sale for $350.00 at our local Sam's club branch, 3 years in and this is our official review. The mower starts every time with in 2 pulls, The assembly was easy, as noted during mowing using the bagging feature it does not seal well and blows clippings on the operator. We have not performed a single bit of maintenance on it other than cleaning it, until this weekend, so first time in 3 years. I found a few things, one the manual was not clear on how to check the Belt for the self propel as it stopped working a few months back and i could feel around inside the belt popped off the rear reducer. The Belt Cover is held on by 1 Bolt and 2 screws located at the rear of the belt area, very hard to find. Removed the cover and replaced the belt but it feels loose, so we see if it stays on, may have to replace that. Found also you cannot buy any universal blade for the mower as ours was worn, you better remember the model %23 and year of your machine and order it from the Yard Force site, it was a little disappointing could not use a universal blade, without having to replace the hole part that blade attaches too and no instructions in the manual on how to remove the blade holder on the shaft. So had to order a new blade from the Website. I also decided i would drain the oil that i put in the mower that came with it, and after 3 years of use it was black, so i drained the oil and replaced with Synthetic 10W-30 oil keeping it between the marks. Also going to replace the Spark Plug and Air Filter. Other than the blade issue so far the machine has handled the Florida heat and weather well, gets the job done. unsure if i would purchase this brand again, i mean it functions fine, but I'm skeptical on no oil change motor, and having to buy a special blade from them and remember model %23 and etc. to make sure get the correct blade is a little scary as if i make a mistake i have to spend $40 on another blade all because the pegs are angled and cant take a universal blade. Plus the bagging feature which i got because we compost, kind of hate having it spray back on me.

I like it since it cuts down the time to mow compared to my push lawn mower. however, this sucka is fast, almost pulls you and I wish you could adjust the speed. the mulch bag is small so be prepared to dump it multiple times depending on your lot size. this may be by design but I think the side discharge hood sits too low to the ground when attached, because any low dips in your yard it will come off. for now, it serves it's purpose until I get my riding lawn mower.

The reviews are right about the self propel. Goes way too fast and cannot adjust. Also, since its rwd it's impossible to turn around (just let go). Once it quit working, I didn't mind because it's easy to push. But, I'm not sure whats going on with the price here. Ive had this exact same mower for years now and I got it for $249.99. Other than that, it's a great mower with an awesome/powerful engine strapped on. Highly reccommend if you do not mind the self propel issue.

Great for about 6 months. Runs strong. Changing the wheel height is supper easy, starts right up still, BUT...then the Self Propel option stopped and doesn't work. This is my SECOND Yard Force in about 3 years. The first had the exact same issue, Self Propel stopped plus the spring on the part that the shoot hooks to broke on that one.

Very impressed with the quality and features.

Bought the yard force so far a great buy
