I have not used this type of mower since I was a kid, it does a great job for the type of mower it is. It was very easy to assemble. Our property is 1/3 acre, relatively level, and I am pleased with the results we get using this mower. Bought this also because we don't have a gas mower right now and this was a financially and eco-friendly option. Even if we get a new gas or even an electric/cordless mower, we will keep this as a back up mower.
My back yard has lotsa grass and not a bumpy terrain unlike the slde yards or front yard (3/4 acre around the house located in the middle ). So it is perfect since it's so level. Have to have a self propel engine driven mower for the sides and front. Thanks y'all!
We have a medium lawn with thin grass (I don't know what it is called). We planted this grass last Sep. for easy maintenance. Now May, the first cut was difficult and it took a long time to cut, we were going to give up. We had long grass with a lot of weed, we cut the grass high. Then we cut it a second time right after the first cut, but this time shorter. It was much easier and faster. We have decided to keep it and we love it!!! We love the fact that we'll never run out of gas and it is not noisy.
I been using this mower on a quarter acre lawn that has a small hill. Once I got used to how the mower functions, cutting the lawn took the same amount of time as with a power mower. I clean and lubricate the blades and sharpening edge after each use (sometimes every other use if I'm feeling particularly lazy)and the mower has functioned well all season. I've used it for one season of cutting so far and expect to get many more seasons out of this machine.
Pros: Easy to Push & Steer, Lightweight, Adjustable Cut-Lengths
