Customer reviews for AiPower 21" Self-Propelled RWD Walk Behind Mower with Aero Flow™ Deck forMember photos
Loved it at first!
I have used my mower twice so far. The first time, it was a breeze to mow my front and back yard. The second time, I was able to mow my backyard. On the way to mow the front after a brief break, the gas and break handles had fallen completely off and were dangling by the wires. Now, I have spent the last half hour trying to figure out how to replace the handles properly.
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear the mower performed well during your first use, but we're sorry to learn about the issue you experienced with the control handles. This is not the experience we want for our customers. Please contact our Customer Support team at support@aipower.com or 855-888-3598 so we can review the issue and assist with getting it resolved. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and look forward to helping. ~A-iPower Customer Support Team
Self-propelled mechanism is unusable
Things I like: Easy to assemble, easy to start, love the one step height adjustment. Very powerful engine, excellent cutting, easy to push. Things I don’t like. There is a gap on the grasscatcher that blows grass all over you (I fixed it with a piece of foam insulation.). The worst feature and the one you need is the self-propelled mechanism. It is way way too fast. It is so fast it is unusable hence the two star rating. It is a good mower and value for a pusher, but I bought it for the self-propelled unit and it is completely unusable. I contacted the manufacturer and they said there’s nothing they can do about it the other features of the mower I like so I will keep it. I hope I can find a workaround, the fast speed on the self-propelled mechanism.

Highly recommend!
Received this mower today and put it right to work spring is early and we are a little behind on our first cut. Everything worked great and cut and bagged grass like a champ! Shipping only took two days and arrived in great condition.
Hi Scooter, thank you so much for your kind words and positive review! We’re glad to hear your mower arrived quickly and got right to work—especially with spring coming in early. It’s great to know it’s cutting and bagging like a champ! We truly appreciate your support and hope it continues to perform well for you. ~A-iPower Customer Support Team
To fast drive system no adjustment
Starts first time and easy wheel adjust Only issue is drive is to fast unless you track star no way to slow speed down
Hi, thank you for your feedback—we’re glad to hear it starts easily and that the wheel height adjustment is working well for you. We understand your concern regarding the drive speed. The self-propelled speed is set to align with industry standards for walk mowers.

If you have any additional questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. ~A-iPower Customer Support Team
How many CC?
why don't you state how many CC does it have. is it b140cc or is it 200cc? it's not even on the box
Hi Carter, Thank you for your question. The mower is equipped with a 140cc Briggs & Stratton EX550 engine. The engine displacement is listed in the specifications section on our website, but we appreciate the feedback regarding visibility and packaging details. ~A-iPower Customer Support Team

Hi Dana, thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear you've had issues with two units and understand how frustrating it is when you're simply trying to get your yard mowed. This is not the experience we want for our customers. Please contact our Customer Support Team at support@aipower.com or 855-888-3598 so we can gather additional information and work with you toward a resolution. ~A-iPower Customer Support Team
I don't recommend this. Every time I use it something breaks. First wheel cover fell off. Next time the side flap that covers the opening more or less melted and broke off. I had to wire it on semipermanently. No replacement part found online. Today the self propelled mechanism stopped working.
Hello Jackie, we're sorry to hear about your experience. That's certainly not the level of quality or reliability we expect from our products. We'd appreciate the opportunity to learn more about the issues you've encountered and determine how we can help. Please contact our Customer Support team at 855-888-3598 or support@a-ipower.com with your proof of purchase and photos of the damaged components. We'll be happy to review your mower's warranty coverage and work toward a resolution. ~A-iPower Customer Support Team
Warning eldery folks!
ground speed is way too fast for elderly folks. grass catcher allows trash to blow into your face. well built deck and motor starts first pull. .
Hi Kenneth, thank you for your honest feedback! We understand how the ground speed may feel too fast for some users, and we appreciate you pointing that out. We’re glad to hear the deck is well built and that the engine starts easily. Regarding the debris blowing back, ensuring the grass catcher is securely attached and properly seated can help improve airflow and reduce blowback during use. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience! ~A-iPower Customer Support Team
TRANSMISSION DIED 4th TIME USING IT
I gave it 3 stars, maybe should be less. Bought it May 11, 2026. Used it 4 times on a corner lot (not big). June 13, 2026, 4th time, 1/3 of way done, transmission went "clunk-click" and suddenly became a push mower! Back to Sam's Monday! 'Maybe' I'll be able to add some stars.
Hi RevMaK, We are sorry to hear about your experience. A loss of self-propel function after only a few uses is certainly not what we expect from our products. Before returning the mower, we would appreciate the opportunity to assist, as the issue may be related to a drive belt or other serviceable component. Please contact our Customer Support Team at 855-888-3598, Monday–Friday from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM CST, and we would be happy to help troubleshoot the issue. ~A-iPower Customer Support Team
Not a great experience. I would not recommend.
I wanted to like it but ultimately returned it after 2 attempts at using it. Came out of the box easy enough and was ready to go in minutes. I didnt care for the plastic wheels and the locking handles for the push bar seemed pretty flimsy. I was afraid they were goinng to break off. The fuel tank is not very big and would require more frequent refuelings. My first attempt, I got about half my front yard mowed only to have it stop self propelling. Turns out the belt had slipped off. Found someone to help me with it and managed to finish the lawn. 2nd time, about 2/3 of the yard and belt came off again. I just dont have time, energy nor patience for an hour or so repair each time I use it. Also, it was a bit fast. I have a steep front yard and going uphill was a comfortable pace. Downhill or on level ground and it moved quick! Probably too quick for elderly or younger teens. I called AI Power customer service as that is what it had said do in the manual. After some hold, they answered, I explained my problem and my dissatisfaction, wanting to return my purchase. Was advised they dont handle anything like that and to contact the retailer. Fortunately and thankfully, Sam's took the return and refunded my money without hesitation. Very much appreciate Sam's but I just can't recommend this mower.
Hi Freddie, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry to hear the mower did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it can be to experience repeated belt issues, especially when you are simply trying to get your lawn mowed. We appreciate your feedback regarding the self-propel speed, wheel construction, handle design, and fuel tank capacity, as this information helps us evaluate opportunities for improvement. While we're disappointed the mower was not the right fit for your needs, we're glad Sam's Club was able to assist with you. Thank you again for your honest feedback. ~A-iPower Customer Support Team
