Was so excited to get a new lawn mower. I went together easily. Filled with gas and oil and then tried to start it and no luck. Husband tried to start it. called company and they suggested take dpark plug out and reinstall, open air filter and reinstall No luck. Finally after about ten attempts it started shook violently and stopped running Tried again rain 60 seconds shook again amd shut off. Will be returning.

I like the mower overall, good power, sturdy deck, but it needs better build quality. With the mulch plug in, clippings still come out over the deck, front wheels are wobbly, cheap loose fitting plastic pieces. Parts of the handles need a little force to screw and bend them straight. The transmission spindle NEEDS to be metal NOT plastic. If you use the self propel for extended periods, the spindle may melt or break the rope because of the heat. I only use it going up steep inclines on my yard. I bought it discounted for around $350, you’d expect a well built mower with close to zero flaws, but not the case. I’ve used the mower 5 times and no issues. The only gripe I have with the engine is the exhaust facing forward instead of the side, when wind blows in my face, so do the exhaust fumes. Strong Briggs%26Stratton engine though. Cuts the grass easily and a lever to change the height on all 4 wheels. The self propel is a little quick, but no problem for me, a fit 25 yr old, I like it. I think the mower will last a good 10 years at least, maybe not the self propel. Make sure to run out all the old gas before storing, change oil every year and put new gas in when mowing season starts. Do this every year and any mower will last.

Easy-to-put together. Started with first pull after 15min. off running tuned off so could lower height . Went to start again and wouldn't start, let it sit for a few minutes and started then. it shouldn't have to cool after only 15-17minutes of running.

I like the fact that walmart always has our back. if something is wrong walmart will do everything in there power to fix the problem. they have fixed problems for us before. but 99% of the time there is no problem! a for walmart. love you walmart and thank you for being so honest. c.o.

Bought to use on elderly neighbors house I do. The self propelled makes it easier on my knees in pushing. Been using a little over a month and one of motor mount bolts already snapped off. Whole motor is loose now and moves so you can’t start and operate. So truthfully wouldn’t recommend to anyone because it’s poorly made.

1. the lawnmower is very easy to start. 2. the motor is powerful. 3. I have severe arthritis in my hands, so regulating the self-propelled feature is a learning process, if I use full power, too powerful for me and the mower hops. The mover seems lite for the power, but I am definitely finding the perfect speed. it cuts the lawn beautifully. just learning to adjust.

OUTSTANDING product!!! One of the two best lawnmowers I have owned in my 63 years on this planet. The single lever height adjustment is SO simple. This self-propelled mower's side dump option is perfect for me needs, which I could hardly find one that had side dump with other brands. The Briggs and Stratton (sp?) engine is a name I've trusted for years. (So far so good.) C/O "assembly:" Super simple, but I would offer a "word-to-the-wise" to carefully think through the placement of the cables (i.e., drive and dead man cut-off) prior to attaching the lower handle. Just an FYI ;)

I think there is something wrong with my Yard Force. I have called and everyone says it is someone elses responsibility. The lawn mower doesn't "roll" on its own, only if you engage the rear wheel self propelled and then the darn thing is doing wheelies around the yard. It will not reverse and turns are terrible. The self propelled is amazing and that sucker will pull you around, but something is terribly wrong with this as it will go straight up a tree if you aren't careful.

I think the self propel system should be a variable speed system, the more you pull the engagement lever, the faster it goes; release the lever slightly, from fully engaged allows the mower to slow down slightly, the more the release, the slower the system propel the mower. For older folks that might not be able to walk fast behind the mower, a variable speed control system would be ideal. Otherwise, I really like this mower; well built, sturdy, light enough to easily maneuver around obstacles, relatively quiet, good on gas, one-pull starting with no priming necessary. I recommend it, with the one exception noted above.

I've mowed my yard front and back every week this summer. Perfect for a my 60 × 120 Bermuda crass lot. Followed the instructions,started on the 1st pull. This mower always starts on the 1st pull. The self propelle works great pulls the mower with ease. I recommend this mower for grass lot mowing. Also like the easy deck adjustment.
