This is my second purchase of this model. The first one lasted 6 years with average use in Texas. I love the light weight, good power, low maintenance and low cost of operation of the mower. I will never go back to gas for a small yard.
As other reviews have said, this little machine does a great job cutting grass for the price. It does have its limitations. I would stress that it is for small yards. The bag is small and fills up quickly. It bags well but without the bag it doesn't mulch so well. The green knobs that hold the handle parts together sometime come unscrewed, fall off, and blend in with the grass. It only has height settings for 3 levels and if you want to leave your fescue tall you may be disappointed in that the highest setting is not that tall.
I am newly diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis so, I have to find ways to make chores more manageable. After lots of research, I went with this mower. It is lightweight, so easy to use does the job. I am amazed at the price for such a great product ! Bending and emptying the grass bag is difficult for me so, I ordered the attachment that just shoots the grass out.
