"...In addition I had reservations about the flimsy plastic roller used to adjust the cut height...." Read more
"...and first time we took it off to dump it came loose and dumped the grass on the ground...." Read more
"I only have gas-powered mowers to compare it to, but it cut relatively tall grass. It took some work, yes. I worked up a sweat, yes...." Read more
"...It can get stuck on the bumps pretty easily. I still think it's great and would recommend it to anyone with a small yard...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the lawn mower. Some mention it's very easy to put together, maneuver, and gets easier each time. However, others say that it'll give you a workout and is much harder to mow the yard with a push mower. The adjustments are hard to get to and are a little pain to put back on.
"...I would say this will be a good, light workout. Once it goes, It goes fairly well from one end to the other...." Read more
"...This one was an abomination! It was really easy to put together, but the handle wobbled and seemed very poorly fit...." Read more
"...maybe the bolts on the wheels could be adjusted, but they are very hard to get to and not mentioned in the instructions as a way to adjust the height..." Read more
"...It's lightweight, was very easy to assemble and the blades are nice and sharp." Read more

Customers are mixed about the value of the lawn mower. Some mention it's great value for money, inexpensive compared to powered cutters, and does the job. Others say that it'll break easily and is not worth the cost.
"...The grass collector bag is starting to lose its grip so that feels like a waste of money. It was easy to put together...." Read more
"...GREAT value for money!" Read more
"...The basic mower is made well enough, but the manufacturer used some cheap parts, like the rubber on the wheels - it's just a band that keeps coming..." Read more
"...It’s a nice unit for the money but it doesn’t work in the area I was wanting to use it" Read more
Customers have mixed opinions about the weight of the lawn mower. Some mention that it is relatively light weight, while others say that it's hard to move and maneuver. The bar is not as sturdy and moves too much. The clippings works well, just makes it a little heavier to push.

"...Problem is that it doesn't weigh much but the wheels are geared in a way that make this unit 5 times harder to push than a full size full weight..." Read more

"Does an okay job cutting. The handle bar is not as sturdy and moves too much" Read more
Customers find the lawn mower hard to push. They say it requires an enormous amount of energy, and it's stiff and noisy. They also say it'll get stuck and lose traction. Customers also mention that the blade is not sharp and grass won't cut evenly.
"...However it does require some power behind pushing especially at the initial push of each time. I would say this will be a good, light workout...." Read more
"...I recommend that you do this 1st (pages 8 & 9). It is only hard to push on uneven ground, but if your lawn is flat & even, you'll be fine...." Read more
"...Just buying one based on reviews may not cut it. This things is difficult to push. Definitely wear a "back brace"...." Read more

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2017
This one was an abomination! It was really easy to put together, but the handle wobbled and seemed very poorly fit. We tried a number of slight adjustments in the bolts to see if we could fix the issue, but nothing seemed to work. In addition I had reservations about the flimsy plastic roller used to adjust the cut height. We followed the instructions with pieces of paper to get the blades adjusted just right. Then we took it outside.
Neither of us could push it more than about 5 feet before it would seize. We tried going back & forth, but we could never get it to continue. After about 15 minutes of fussing and making adjustments we finally had to admit we'd bought a piece of junk.
I need to find the website that rated this thing so highly and find out what the hell they were thinking. There are much better hand-push mowers out there. MUCH better. This particular design belongs on the scrap heap.
