First of all I was sent to wrong lawn mower and then when I inquired about that I never got a response so I had to go ahead and keep this one because I needed 1 at the time it's very hard to handle and I am a strong woman I work out every day and I have a hard time handling it so I can't see anybody who doesn't have any strength in their arms wrists or hands being able to handle it.

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!

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.

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..

After reading all the reviews I picked this mower because I really needed one that can literally pull its own weight. It really does when you see the picture I added of our back yard you will understand. The mower does jerk a little on take off , I can see that someone with shorter stride would have difficulty keeping up with it. But I love how it not only pulls itself but helps me up the hill too. It was easy to assemble and the cut quality is great. I hope to write another review at a later date and see if this mower keeps the power it has now. After filling the gas and oil it started first pull. I checked all the bolts after assembly and everything was tight. I highly recommend this mower at this point.

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.

This mower has the potential, it has plenty of power and all the features I was looking for such as one lever height adjustment, a B%26S engine, and rear wheel drive. Do not purchase this mower if you cannot, make adjustments. The tires and wheels wobble so much that the front wheels rub the body and get hung and the self-drive is so powerful it makes wheelies every time, because of this the grass is very uneven and require lots of recutting but at least it's fast

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 ;)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have only had a chance to use the item once. It seems to perform as expected but it's early to be sure. Price....found similar prices elsewhere but ordered from Walmart. Price could have been a bit lower.

Mows well BUT When on self propelled it goes way too fast ! have ALWAYS Had self propelled mowers..my last one died a few weeks ago and I ordered this one... I never had a problem "keeping up" with any of them until this one. self propelled option flies ! and no option to slow it down wish I had saved the box ..I would definitely have returned the mower to walmart! now Im stuck swith a 300 $ mower Im not going to be able to use!
