first off not sure what the deal is with the 1 star review person. These mowers are mass produced with the same specs, everyone is identical. There may be small tolerance differences and fit and finish but all the holes and parts are made the same way and in the same spot. Sounds like user error to me. Now to my review. This mower started on the first time, the variable speed is nice and only took me 10 seconds to get used to the feel of it. Easy to maneuver and push. Can even use it without the drive system, a little bit heavy but doable. Pretty quiet engine and runs smooth. THe bag is a bit small but did not find myself emptying constantly. Time will tell how durable this mower is but so far its 5 stars.

Poor instructions
While trying to assemble mower the bolts for the handle go in the wrong way so you can only assemble handle with the mower at the highest setting when you lower the mower the fasteners hit the wheels.Junk I shouldn't have to modify the mower to make it work it's going back today same day I picked it up.

Better than others costing twice as much

This is a great mower, easy to assemble, easy to start, handles can be adjusted so the position when mowing is comfortable no matter your height. The deck height adjustment is one of the best I've seen. This is truly a self propelled mover, it moves at a great pace and is very powerful. If you are tired of pushing your old self propelled mower around the yard, look at this unit

Pleased is an understatement

I had a personal pace mower before this. I will a little jittery about the self-propelled. I admit it took a few minutes to get used to how much pressure to put on the handle, but, by the time I was mowing for about 15 minutes, it was a snap! My lawn looks awesome and I am not worn out!

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Great Mower!

I own about a acre of land and this mower cut the grass perfectly! The adjustment for the hight of the mower was simple and the assembly was easy. Starting it was also very easy one pull start!

I would recommend this product to a friend.
