We're sorry to read your comment about the YF22-3N1SPVS-SC mower. The speed is set to the standard set by OPEI (Outdoor Power Equipment Institute). This speed is determined to be the best speed for the walking pace of the average person operating a walk-behind mower in the US. Each person has a different walking pace based on their normal stride and preference of the speed they walk.

Thank you for purchasing the Yard Force 21" Self-Propelled Mower. It am so glad you've had a great experience with our mower. I appreciate you writing a review. It is great to hear from customers that are enjoying their mower.
