This mower gets the job done and is reliable
I bought this machine at our local home improvement super store last year at the start of the mowing season. I shopped around and for the price this mower had as many features as the more expensive brands but about a third less cost. The mower started up by the 3rd pull all season last year. I think it only started with as many as three pulls only twice. The rest of the time first or second pull. You do need to sufficiently prime the carburator hence three pulls. Bag holds a lot of cutting. I have a corner lot and only have to empty bag 4 times. I wish I would have spent the extra to get a self propelled model, but this mower is easy to maneuver and is not super heavy. When I took it out of garage to start up for spring it started on 2nd pull. I am going to give it a mild tune up none the less. Parts for mower are cheaper than counterparts. Performance Super easy to start. Never more than three pulls. Handling If you have a lot of grass go with self propelled version. Durability Started right up after sitting for a long Chicago winter.. I hadn't even added stabile to gas and it fired right up. Safety Has a gas cut off bar that my older unit didn't have, but lawn mower safety is basically common sense. Ease of Use my ten year old nephew has used mine no problems
