5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Mower for the price !

I never write reviews but felt compelled to do so for this one. I read all the reviews and like a vast percentage of the time the negative reviews are coming from people that just like to complain. Never happy about anything.
Anyway it was between this and the Lawn Boy. I had a Lawn Boy I bought new in 1994 and had for 12 yrs, it was a great mower. I took a chance on this one and I'm glad I did because I am super satisfied. If you have common sense you know to refuse the package if it is delivered with the box open or damaged. If you are halfway mechanically inclined and read the opening instructions on the flap of the box it comes in you will have no problems. Started first push of the button! FWD is awesome . Love this mower! Made In USA!!!

My wife wanted something that was push button start, so we decided on this model. Was easy to assemble. The hardest thing was getting the grass bag on the frame. Everything else was a snap.

It’s a really easy start. Engine turns over right away. We’ve used it to both mulch and bag grass. Each works great. The auto choke is great, so you don’t have to prime the gas first. Not a huge bag, but we’re both older and don’t want anything too heavy to lift anyway.

Very happy with this purchase. Took over a month for delivery was the only negative.

4.0 out of 5 stars Use wire cutters to remove plastic lip from edge of clips for bagger assembly.
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2020

The media could not be loaded.
 I like my new lawn mower, however, getting the bag on to the metal form was by no means, easy! You have to open up the clips a few times to get them more pliable for assembly. After you put the form inside of the bag and attach the first clips, I noticed that if I put my body weight onto the form allowing it to bend, the clips went on more easily. Also, you want to trim the plastic lip that sticks out from the clips so that it will seat properly onto the mower. If you don’t, it will throw grass clippings up into the air and into your face! I used a pair of wire cutters to trim all of that plastic off and now it works perfectly. It’s a tough job though.
The other thing that I realized was that you HAVE got to pull the bars up from the bottom to make sure that you have put it together properly! If you don’t, the string will not pull and it seems as though it is locked up! I had to go back and re-read the directions!! You can not just lift the handle, tighten the screws and start! You have got to pull the lower section of the handle out and lengthen the handle. If you don’t, then the blade will catch the lower handle ( which is inside of the mower deck) and it will appear as though it is locked up. I made this mistake as well. I hope this helps others!

Box arrived in rough shape, and not surprised to see front wheel rims were cracked. The housing for the battery charger was also broken off.

Took 2-3 attempts with ignition switch to get it started each time, which was disappointing as it was the feature I was most excited about.

The front wheel drive self propel sputters and locks up somewhat frequently and when it is working, not much power to it.

Blade cuts ok.

1.0 out of 5 stars Engine Locked Up - Couldn't even pull the starter cord. Battery starter never made a sound.
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2020

Buy a LawnBoy lawnmower - not this one. I could not even pull the starter on this model. The battery did nothing even though it was fully charged. Now I'm having trouble getting my money back from Amazon. They think I haven't sent it back. Amazon clearly stated I could keep the first one, so I gave it to a poor lawn mowing person.

Surely I am not the only person to experience this frozen starter problem. Just comment below if it has happened to you, too. Keep it short. If you have positive things to say, please refrain from commenting. I’m just trying to find out how many other people have this problem. Thank you for your understanding.

So then the UPS truck came for the second lawnmower. I had not even put oil or gas in it. The engine was also locked up. And then the UPS driver said that they could not accept the return unless we fully packaged it and placed it at the street level. I told him I didn't have much of the Styrofoam remaining and a lot of the cardboard had been put in the recycle bin. I ordered a second one of this lawnmower thinking the first one must have been a dud. I was wrong.

My short petite wife weighs 115 pounds. I am bigger, but I have 5 fused disks in my back and it hurts a lot to even move - severe pain 24/7/365. I’m almost 76 years old and I have 5 fused disks in my spine. But we followed the UPS driver’s instructions and with the help of some construction workers, drug the carton to the curb and packaged it the best we could. It was gone within a few hours. I assumed the UPS truck picked it up. Or maybe somebody thought we threw it away. I live in a gated country club with the best security on Lake Conroe, about an hour and a half towards Dallas from Houston, Texas. I live 10 miles from I-45.- not at all close to the freeway. You have to have a valid tollway pass to enter or go through the guard station. it was probably some lawnmower person who thought we abandoned it. I only have social security and I’m trying desperately to move out of this high priced place. Inflation has driven us to poverty, thanks to the banks getting a free pass during the housing meltdown.

I have written over 1200 reviews on Amazon and at one point I was ranked #151 out of at least 63 million people on Amazon’s Vine program. I've been a loyal Amazon customer since about 2003 or earlier.

I love the push to start. The battery is still going off the first charge. It handles my yard with zero problems. Came almost fully assembled, with a few things to do. Before you try to start it, make sure you pull the lower bars from inside the blade deck. It will seem like the engine is seized. I knew before I assembled it, but I can see how people might miss it.

Machine is nice but the height lever rubs against the wheel, I think it was installed backwards im not sure since it came like that. Can't exchange for another model since they sold out and the repair time according to the repair shop craftsmen wants me to drop it at is about 3-4 weeks since it is busy time for them (understandable).
There is no primer button which is nice i assume it takes care of this itself. I will probably use zip ties or something to move the lever our of way. Just frustrating that a new 700 dollar machine needs me to use zip ties to correct an issue.
