Good points

Good Points

  • Excellent catcher performance.
  • Excellent mulching performance.
  • Quick-release folding handle.
  • Blade control lever – engine stops almost instantly when the bar is released.
  • Self-propelled drive with ten speeds.
  • Good upturned metal handle at good height.
  • Very good controls.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Vibration of the handle is noticeable but not too uncomfortable.
  • There are two extra bars for blade control and the self-propelled drive/clutch. Both handles have to be pushed forward during mowing, and aren't particularly comfortable to hold. The clutch handle is not wide enough to hold it comfortably from the sides in the vertical hand position.
  • The wheels have to be adjusted individually, and the levers are very difficult to move up or down against the spring.
