Easy set up with the instructions. Easy start - one pull - excellent cut on shorter grass, and is able to tackle the thicker, higher growth with several passes as well. We live in the country with a variety of fielded areas, so this machine works well for what we need. Just purchased, so unable to post a review regarding how it works in the long term.

For the low cost I can’t complain. I get laughed at by turtles when I use the drive on flat ground, but it’s good for going up hills and getting started when in a rut. I tightened the engagement cable as much as possible but it made no difference so I think the single speed is creep. The large rear wheels make pushing pretty easy so it’s fine. Starts and runs well.

Lawnmower performs it's job perfectly, and made short work of some very tall grass. It didn't bog down or die even once, and it's actually more powerful than I thought it would be. It does everything it's advertised to do, and I'm very happy with this purchase!

Usually I have past few decades bought the return mowers from the big box hardware stores. However past couple years pickings were slim so I went with this. Glad I did the handle I fully extended and I rotated up. As a tall guy most mower handles usually hit me in the gut. But with this elevated and extended adjustment it put all the work to my arms and shoulders. For the first time in many years the effort wasn't in my back and I enjoyed mowing with no back pain. Engine ran good and it practically jumps to go once you engage it. Tiresome holding the running bar down after a while but what can you do. Over it was a win for me biggest plus is how adjustable the handle is.

Putting this mower together was fairly simple . I am a senior citizen and needed something that would help me get my slanted yard mowed without pulling a muscle . Wasn't pleased with paying for a person to mow that left it looking sloppy . Used it for the first time and my yard looked better than it had in a year !

So far, I'm loving it! The first one shipped had a bent handle, but the return & replace process was seamless and pain-free, and my second mower was perfect. Assembly was very easy! I was wondering about the speed because I'd seen several comments about it being too fast, but I actually could go a little faster. I love that the self-propulsion is so easy to engage/disengage. Also, I've had trouble with clogging mulchers in the past, but this one if great!

I bought this mower when it was on sale for $299. That's a great price for a rear wheel drive mower. It appears to be made well and of high quality. It cranks easily and usually on the first pull. It's very powerful, almost too powerful as some have said, as it pulls rapidly and forcefully when using the self propel feature. It takes some getting used to, as there is no way to adjust the speed, but it does do a great job cutting and mulching the grass. For the price I paid, I am impressed.

Used it once since I got it. Did the job. Seems sturdy and well built. Love the cutting deck lever. So easy to raise and lower the deck with one lever. I wonder about the never change the engine oil thing. Not sure how that works so I’ll probably still change the oil anyway. The RWD is great. I have a bad back and the assist is nice to have. I use it to cut a 1/4 acre. Unless you enjoy the walking I’d say 1/2 acre or less and this mower is great for the task. It was shipped in good condition and it was super easy to assemble.

Mower is heavier than my last mower and harder to direct around my lawn. Self propelled feature is too fast so I don't use it. The fold up feature to store mower is not practical due to the weight of the mower. My last mower was front wheel driven and easier to operate than this mower which is rear wheel driven.

I wanted to love this lawnmower but I didn't realize it was rear wheel drive. When I went to try it out I almost fell as it just took off on me. It was hard to mow around trees and land scape as you had to use as just a push mower and on an uneven yard it was hard to push. I did return it with no problems. Might work for a younger person to fast foe me.
