Good points

Good Points

  • Excellent performance with the catcher.
  • Very good mulching performance overall (but see bad points).
  • Easy to push even with extended use.
  • Very easy to adjust the cutting height.
  • Mulching adaptor is easy to fit.
  • Has carry handle.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Leaves clumps of grass behind occasionally when mulching medium length grass.
  • Only OK for handle comfort.
  • Only OK for controls convenience; the dual levers are a little stiff and tiring to use and don't blend in well with the handle bar.
  • Mesh-style ventilation grills on the sides of the catcher let small clippings and dust through.
  • The catcher is a not particularly easy to empty due to the restricted opening even though it has a second handle.
  • Fairly long claimed charging time – 7 hours.
