Good points

Good Points

  • Quick-release folding handle.
  • Comfortable upturned handle with rubber grip, but it's too low.
  • Easy to push and manoeuvre.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK performance for cutting long grass.
  • Only OK mulching performance when mulching short grass, it leaves a row of it behind without mulching it.
  • Requires a fair amount of effort to adjust the cutting height due to the heavy spring-loaded lever.
  • Starter cord mounted on the motor is not particularly easy to pull and requires strength in the shoulder.
