What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?
Good points

Good Points

  • Wash nozzle for easy cleaning underneath the housing.
  • Starter cord is fairly easy to pull.
  • Easy to convert from catcher to mulching mode.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Quite tiring to push and manoeuvre due to the heavy weight of the mower.
  • The handle is too low for comfortable pushing.
  • The engine control is very stiff to operate.
  • Cutting height requires a fair amount of effort to adjust.
  • The thin catcher handle is uncomfortable on the hand when carrying/emptying. The cloth type catcher has holes on both sides and the bottom which let small grass clippings and dust through.
  • The fuel tap is not easy to reach and turn on/off.
  • Vibration of the handle is noticeable but not too uncomfortable.
