Good points

Good Points

  • Very good catcher performance.
  • Has carry handle .
  • Quick-release handle.
  • Battery charge indicator lights.
  • Upturned handle may be a little low for some, but the controls are easy to hold against the handle bar.
  • Excellent controls.
  • Very 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.
