Review Posted 05/26/2022
I've had this for a year now. The good part is it starts up on the first pull every time. The bad is the mower deck is terrible. The mulching is the worst part as it still blows grass everywhere and doesn't mulch it properly. It forces me to bag every time. Even when bagging, grass blows out the sides and into the mulch beds. I mow 2-3 a week, so it's not too long when I cut it

Excellent Mower Cheap Wheel Covers

Review Posted 09/21/2021
This mower would have received 5 stars, but the wheel cover has started to come off after only 4 uses. This leads me to question the overall quality. I would expect something in the neighborhood of 500 bucks to not have a single issue for at least a couple of seasons. I guess I could glue it back, but I shouldn't have to.

I was expecting problems for something to going wrong. Maybe parts missing or broken, shipping problems from Mower Direct, but the whole business transaction went smooth with fast shipping. I am very pleased with this company and will do business with them again.

Review Posted 08/01/2021
I bough this mower as a birthday present for my son and he was so excited about how easily it started on the first try all the time , how it cut through the thick grass, and how easy it was to handle the mower. and it is so quite, that he can cut the lawn early in the morning without any complaints from the neighbors. He tells me I bought him the Cadillac of lawn mowers,

The mower works very well. Thel only thing is if dirt gets in back wheels, they tend to lock up until it breaks free.

Review Posted 07/19/2021
There were none in the area and Mowers Direct was the only one who had any. Their reviews were great, so I took a shot. The mower came in a couple of days. The box was opened, so the delivery company asked me to inspect it before delivering it. Everything looked ok, so I took it. It was missing a bolt for one of the handles. 20 cents later from Home Depot, and it was all good. This mower started on the first pull and has started on the first pull for over a month. I mow twice a week.
I don't have to pull hard at all. The self-propelled is easy. Just push forward. The best thing about this machine is the rear-wheel drive. It just goes, so much better than front-wheel, especially uphill. It's only been a month, but this machine is a no-brainer. I was between this and the Toro that was mentioned in the comments. I went with this because I have a buddy who has had one for 16 years and still swears by it. You won't be disappointed.
