Good points

Good Points

  • Engine brake – engine stops almost instantly when the bar is released.
  • Wash nozzle for easy cleaning underneath the housing.
  • Starter cord is very easy to pull.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Vibration of the handle is noticeable but not too uncomfortable.
  • Heavy mower and its difficult to push.
  • Some may find the handle too low and holding the engine-brake lever becomes uncomfortable on the hands with extended mowing.
  • Catcher lets dust and small grass clippings through the holes showering the user.
  • A little fiddly to convert from catcher to mulching mode due to the tight fit of the plug.
