This lawnmower is a piece of junk! The front left wheel rubs on the mower and on any height setting above 4 the wheel does not even turn causing the mower to pull in left hand circles. The auto choke acts as if it’s stuck and the speed of the mower is so fast I literally had to run to keep up! I’m in the process of trying to return it for a full refund!

This mower does not have an adjustable handle. I am 5’3 and the handle comes to my arm pits. This is for a tall person. I got it together and added the oil and gas. It started on the second pull. I pulled back on the self propelled handle and it pulled a wheelie. There’s no way to adjust the speed. If you like speed and you are tall, this mower is for you.

Price and delivery speed was very good. The mower arrived 3/4 assembled. Very easy to attach remaining parts. 10min typical. Looks solid built. Added supplied oil 15oz and gasoline. 2 pulls and it started. I was concerned about the self propelled fast speed because of other reviews but I found this mower goes at a good speed for me and I can turn it while still engaging propelled or use as a push mower once you get use to it. It's light enough to maneuver and operate as a push mower when you are doing finer manuvers. There is not much vibration either. I'm using mulch mode so I haven't tried side discharge or basket yet. Optional cutting mode parts attach without tools. Height adjustment is easy with a single lever. It cuts high grass easily and has plenty of power to propell up a moderate incline. The only unknown is the durability. Time will tell. Very pleased with the purchase so far. Engine label is EX625. Shipping box shows EXI625?????? Not sure what's going on there. Maybe someone can clarify that difference. Maybe a prior year model. Think an I series doesn't need regular oil changes. It was advertised as EX625 engine when I bought it so not concerned, just curious.

I received these lawnmower at the end of March, by June the left back wheel locked up on me. then by August the self- propell quit on me. Not a good quality mower. It has been in the shop since August 25th. The warranty covers it, but it has been there for 5weeks waiting parts. Thankfully a friend of mine loaned me their extra lawnmower or I wouldn't be able to see my little dog out back. Not satisfied with these mower at all.

This thing is amazing, I bought it in early spring, and here we are in August and still runs like day 1! This is a powerful mower with a decent sized mow deck and to be entirely honest, the easiest starting mower I have ever owned without an ignition key. It roughly takes an effortless quarter pull of the pullstring, and it fires right up and is ready to go. I keep my yard well maintained with this little beast, though I don't use the self-propelling option a whole lot. I will say that it works well, however, my yard is not ideal for extended use of that feature. My yard has some bumpy spots near the trees that it is powerful enough to throw it off and make me mow uneven and I like tidy lines. That being said I use it when I can't stand comfortably behind it in some of the tree areas and walk beside it past the point and then get back behind it, or a few spots near the fencing where I bump the throttle to edge it up and make room for me to walk behind again. In the front yard I use the self-propelled feature more as the yard is much smoother and open. I never regret this purchase and would look for another Yard Master in the future..

Mower came 1 day early. Great. Put it together. Very easy. Put the oil in it. Between the hash marks. Filled with fuel. The mower started first pull. Wow off to a great start. The engine is powerful, it can be too fast, it is difficult to cut around trees and areas that require precision. Oddly it is very light weight for its cutting ability and we simply push it when we are in close situations. I would purchase this mower again.

The worst, most inefficient self propelled lawn mower ever!!!! Has only one speed, TOO FAST! Not usable for anyone, young or old, healthy or infirm! Clutch is ALL "Lurch and Dead Stop!" Uncompromising! Almost impossible to turn around without awkward stopping. When engaging it to go, this mower actually "does a wheelie!!" Practically speaking, it is pretty much worthless and useless as a "self propelled mower." The worst! Forget about it!! Get a Black Max instead!! Trust me! I found out the hard way.

Despite the reviews, I bought this mower not knowing some of the perks. It has rear wheel drive, non-prime start and one lever on back wheel to change the cutting height. Quick and easy to put together, started on first pull. Mowing steep hills is effortless. I really like the bigger wheels on back of mower also.

I like that you can rise or lower the blade with one easy handle. Easy start up. Powerful self-propelled on the 2 setting. If you mow lower, on setting 1 it is not that great. Self-propelled is almost off. I absolutely do not like the handle to engage the blade. That design is terrible. You have to hold both metal grates to the handle and hold down the hold time you are mowing.

Honestly, this was a pretty good buy. I live in town, so I don't have a huge yard, but when the Oklahoma summers hit, I don't want to be out for long. So, in conclusion. I mow way faster with this mower, and I love how easy I can change the settings.
