I would have given a 5 star; very little to assemble; easy to assemble handle; pull start rope easy to install; first time started up with 3 pulls after that one pull; I have used three time now and starts with one pull; I like the cleaning attachment for water hose. Here is the only bad part to review; after second use; shutting down I tipped the lawn mower over to see how well of a job the cleaner had done; that is when I saw one of the mounting bolts for front wheel drive cover backing out; hanging on by a couple of threads. Looks like the mounting hole for plastic cover misaligned; the screw threated on the side of plastic; missing the mounting hole and is damaged. I give it a 4.5 star; quality control, easy to over see. Other than that great unit so far.

it does NOT start on the first pull, usually takes about 5 hard pulls. The assembly instructions were a little confusing since the same booklet is used for many different models .

Was easy to assemble and easy to use.

Was exceptional @ cutting/mulching grass, my only issue was the power of the front drive wheel being a bit weak. I would recommend this mower though just based on how well it cuts (easy to put together as well).

Plastic top came off and rear bag area broken. I’ve only had the mower 2 weeks

The best! Replaced the same model from 17 years ago. Could have kept going with the old one, but wanted the new model for my new house. The new model is great. I love the brand for quality and reliability.

too early to know. Only did a little trimming upon receipt. Looking forward to Spring for the real test. Expect it to be good.

First season with the mower. Easy assembly, lightweight, powerful enough for the average yard. I wanted to upgrade from a push mower and research brought me to this mower for best quality at the best price. For me, I It does the job. I give it a B. Here are my pro’s and con’sPros:Can control speed of the mower with the handleEasily maneuvers. I opted for the high wheel modelGood on gasBag removal and replacement is simpleEasy height adjustmentEasy to start Cons: Bag does not get too full so it requires frequent emptying Harder to keep straight lines at higher speedsLeaves random blades of grass uncut but could be when I cut too much off.Suggestion: check the blade position. The blade on the one I purchased was installed upside down from the factory. How can you tell? There rear side of the blade should bend upwards. This creates an updraft. Mine was installed upside down so it actually creates a down draft. I only realized it when I decided to sharpen the blade. Now I know why it was harder to pick up leaves and small sticks

It was easy to assemble and to operate

Easy to assemble. The only drawback is the grass catcher. Plastic points to wedge into with a 4” gap at the top and no support. It’s really not strong enough to stay above the ground empty much less with grass in it.

Easy assembly, great to use.
