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.

Mower came very nicely packaged and the box was re enforced with wood (they thought ahead). Mower was easy to assemble and took about 10 mins to do so. Filled it with oil and gas, and off we went. Mower starts on the 1st pull, and died. 2nd pull it cranked right up. It Mowes very well. I've had around 20 mowers in my lifetime, and after using this one for about an hour, I have to say that this is the 2nd best Mower I've had to date. 1st place was a $600 Honda Mower I had about 12yrs ago. For the price point though, it almost does as good of a job as the $600 honda did. Good job to Yardforce!

I bought this mower at the beginning of summer and it continues to give me issues. Sometimes it runs and I can cut my front and back yards and sometimes it'll start for 30 seconds and die. I've done all the trouble shooting, checked gas and oil levels and it continues to have issues. My brother has this exact mover and also says he has trouble when his grass is too long. The power doesn't seem to be there. I will be returning and looking for one at a local hardware store, so if I have issues I won't have to call a 1-800 number and be on eternal hold.

Purchased May 20, 2023. Worked great for the first year. Then the wheels locked up and the mower is useless, even as a push mower. I was going to get rid of it and but something more reliable but I see it has a two year warranty. I looked at it today and found the pulley on the drive wheel end is broken in half. any way to get that pulley using the warranty? Seems like a lot of money to rent a mower for a year.

I thought the features on this mower were great and it was on sale at my local Sams Club. Big dissapointment. It did great for about 15 minutes and then started jerking when the drive was engaged. Within about 20 more minutes it was no longer self propelled. The rear wheel drive failed completely. Sams Club accepted the return with no problems, 5 stars to them.

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.

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.

I bought this mower a couple years ago to use at my camp to trim. You couldn’t give me another RWD self propelled push lawn mower. The drive belt has already broke. We can’t find another belt to fit. Please start selling the Honda self propelled mower with FWD. It’s the best push mower I’ve used.

I’ve had this mower now for 3 seasons. Pros: no changing oil, simple and easy to use, like that it has three options for discharge. Cons: this sucker is HEAVY! So good thing its self propelled at times, it doesn’t always start on the first pull. Other than that I’m glad am getting my $$ worth out of it!

This mower is VERY heavy, and in less than one year, it is no longer self propelling. It has a very thin plastic cover over the drive belt that broke when I hit a rock, throwing grass in the belt area, causing it not to work. I was told that it was under warranty, but I would have to drive it to a shop over 25 miles away, and I only have a small car. I tried to buy a replacement part for the mower from the maker, they didn't have the part and referred me to their official supplier, who told me the part was sold out and wouldn't be restocked. I guess they sold a lot because it was so thin and junky.
