Clayton Watson (Cedar Rapids, IA) (verified owner) –
The fuel tank has a wide opening and a visible fuel level window that prevents accidental overfills. The blade engagement switch has a positive tactile click and shuts blades off instantly. Could not be happier with the build quality and cutting performance of this machine.
Betty Thompson (Madison, WI) (verified owner) –
The engine delivers abundant torque that slices through tall, damp spring grass without bogging down. The rubber floor mat dampens foot vibration and rinses clean with a garden hose. Could not be happier with the build quality and cutting performance of this machine. Highly satisfied with how it handles in our yard.
Gary Rogers (verified owner) –
Deck height adjustment is simple with the spring-assisted lever, allowing quick changes on the fly. The oil filter and spark plug are positioned for painless access during seasonal tune-ups. Five stars. Exceptional power, buttery smooth drive, and top notch cut quality.
Christian Wagner (Eugene, OR) (verified owner) –
Cut our weekly yard work time nearly in half compared to our previous walk-behind mower. The steering lap bars have adjustable positions to fit different arm lengths comfortably. Leaves the property looking like a professional golf course. Absolutely love this mower.
Noah H. (Appleton, WI) (verified owner) –
The deck suction pulls up trampled grass cleanly for a crisp, even swath. The deck baffles distribute clippings evenly across the lawn without leaving unsightly rows. Could not be happier with the build quality and cutting performance of this machine.
Caleb Clark (verified owner) –
The wash-out port on the deck makes rinsing out grass clippings with a garden hose quick and painless. The parking brake engages positively with an intuitive pedal that locks the rear drive wheels. Takes a couple mows to get used to the zero turn controls, but after that it is smooth sailing.
Judith Fischer (verified owner) –
The rapid battery charger brings the packs back to 100 percent in just under an hour. The battery management system monitors cell temperatures to ensure optimal lifespan and power output. Has saved me countless hours every weekend. Worth every single dollar invested.
Eric Sanchez (verified owner) –
The mulching plug chops clippings into fine particles that disappear right back into the turf. The rubber floor mat dampens foot vibration and rinses clean with a garden hose. Leaves the property looking like a professional golf course. Absolutely love this mower.
Henry Rivera (Columbus, OH) (verified owner) –
The tires have a turf-friendly tread pattern that grips on wet grass without leaving tire ruts. The grass bag fills completely from back to front without clogging the discharge chute. Four solid stars. Reliable starting, clean cutting lines, and plenty of engine torque.
Willie Robinson (verified owner) –
The bright headlights let me finish the last few passes safely after the sun goes down. The push-button starter eliminates the cord-pulling strain on cold mornings. Could not be happier with the build quality and cutting performance of this machine.
