Buy Oil. How to register online?

Easy to setup. But No Oil in box to fill to proper level, that is frustrating. Suppose to be ready to use. There was a warning on machine about buying your own oil. It makes the product/company seem Cheap poor attention to detail. Hard to find website to register machine. A-i Power site does not show mower on the list

Hi Barry, thank you for your feedback and for choosing A-iPower. We’re glad to hear the mower was easy to set up, but we apologize for the inconvenience regarding the engine oil. The mower ships without oil and requires oil to be added before first use. If you contact our customer support team at 855-888-3598, we would be happy to help arrange oil for you. We also appreciate your note about the registration page and will continue working to improve the experience on our website. ~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.

It started off good

I read the reviews good and bad but purchased it anyway. The mower started out great. The self-propell feature went out after purchasing the one day before. I was hoping it was going to last but nope it went out. I have a nice size backyard and it did great. The mower weny out after i took a break and started on my front yard. The speed was great. I agree that this mower is too fast for an elderly person.

Thank you for your feedback, Patina. We’re sorry to hear the self-propelled feature stopped working so soon after purchase, especially after the mower initially performed well for your yard. We understand how disappointing that must be. We also appreciate your comments regarding the mower speed, as customer feedback like this helps us continue to improve. If you have not already returned the unit, please feel free to contact our Customer Support Team at 855-888-3598 and we would be happy to review the situation further with you. ~A-iPower Customer Support Team

Worked great...for about 15 minutes

Worked great...for about 15 minutes. Then, well, the motor ran great, the cutting blade cut, and the self-propelled feature stopped propelling itself. Finished by pushing this heavy thing around my steep yard. Read manual again, says you can adjust the self propelled wire, so I did, to the maximum amount it allowed, and it still was human-powered all the way. Called Customer "Service", who did the same thing three times: put me on hold, told me how important the call was to them...and then disconnected. This company (A-iPower) is a disgrace. Sam's-take note. Even sharply discounted, these mowers are questionable at best and this kind of shoddy merchandise is *not* why I pay to shop here.

Hi Ross, We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating that must have been, especially after only a short period of use. We also apologize for the difficulty you experienced trying to reach Customer Support. That is not the experience we want our customers to have. While the manual does reference a drive cable adjustment procedure, the self-propelled speed itself is not adjustable. Based on what you described, it sounds like the unit may require additional troubleshooting or service. Please reach back out to us at support@aipower.com with your contact information, proof of purchase, and serial number so we can properly review the issue and work toward a resolution. ~A-iPower Customer Support Team

Great mower for under $300.00!

This mower works well and I highly recommend it. The height adjustment is top notch and extremely easy to make quick adjustments. The mower is a little underpowered for my use case. We live out in the country, and the grass tends to get very thick and hard to mow at times. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.

Runs greatly and powerfully.

This Lawn mower has been assembled easily. It runs greatly to help me trimming the grass and clean weeds in backyard. Self-propelled drive let me to do it easily and more efficiently. And the Debris Collection bag is more help for clean. It's powerful.

Too fast and heavy!

This mower is not senior citizen compatible! To cut grass on a small yard where there are close that have to be made is almost impossible. It is very heavy and to pull it back or get close to the fence it is extremely hard at the speed it is going. It is way too fast to control it safely to maneuver it in tight spaces. This mower maybe all right if you have a straight run and no obstacles in the way. It is too fast and I almost had to walk so fast with it, it wore me out cutting my grass. I called the manufacturer on the phone to see if I could turn the speed down on the motor and he said I couldn't, it's not in the specs. He told me that iPower has a lot of complaints on this and they are working on getting this fixed or resolved. I would wholeheartly suggest if you are in your 80's like me to get something else to mow your lawn.

Handle isn't staying in space

My dad and took the lawn mower out of the box and folded the handle and up handles in to position. Then we tightened the red clams facing upward. We are having trouble with keeping the handle in place without it folding down even with a light touch. We tried tightening the clamps and bolt but it keeps doing the same thing. We have a good size yard that is extremely bumpy with every bump I roll over causing the handle to pop out of place. I may give a better rating if we can fix this issue with the handle and the clamps because the mower itself seems to run pretty well.
