It doesn't pick up the leaves only needs a small adjustment on the blades, the rest is perfect! Tools you need to do the adjustment: Strength Benchtop, Circular Saw and Adjustable wrench.
I am very happy with this mower. It is being used as a trim mower for use where the 60 inch deck will not go. I find that the battery will outlast me. I love the quality and performance, now if you would just make me a rider with a 60 inch deck to take on the acreage I’ll be happy.
We have a pretty small yard and this little guy is perfect. Light weight, quiet and maneuverable. The handle folds up easily to store in my small shed. I'm 68 and can easily lift it to waist high with no problem. Haven't even come close to running out of battery charge. Beats the heck out of storing stinky gasoline!
The machine is working very good. The blade height is limited a too much, it is missing the 1/2" settings. I found that the bag falls off frequently there is no way to lock it in place.
