What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?
Good points

Good Points

  • Very good catcher performance.
  • Has carry handle.
  • Battery charge indicator lights.
  • Slightly downturned handle with soft rubber grip is comfortable to hold.
  • Excellent controls.
  • Good cutting height adjustment.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • The small front wheels tend to dig into the grass, and it's not particularly easy to push. Becomes heavier to push when set to the one of the lower settings as the body drags on the grass.
  • Catcher convenience is OK only.
