What Customers Are Saying
The John Deere S100 riding lawn mower is generally well-received as a reliable and capable machine for smaller to medium-sized yards. Customers praise its ease of use, smooth ride, and tight turning radius. The mower provides a clean, even cut and has sufficient power to handle most residential lawns. Features like the hydrostatic transmission, forward and reverse pedals, and deck wash system are appreciated. However, some customers have experienced issues with the belt, battery, or transmission, and a few found the ride to be rougher than expected on uneven terrain.

I purchased the John Deere riding lawn mower on July 18, 2026 and delivery was on July 22, 2026. The riding lawn mower didn't come with an owner's manual; I had to watch a YouTube video at least three times to try get it started. To make a long story short, the battery was dead and I had to boost it with battery cables. After cutting the yard , I called the Manvel, Texas store and spoke to an employee, he informed me the driver should given me an owner's manual and I told him he didn't. Today...
Got a Lemon
I expected better from John Deere. But the Mower stopped working after 20 seconds then had to return.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know and we'll be certain to document this issue.
Great features
I bought this a month ago and I am glad I did! It makes mowing so much easier.
Now that's something worth bragging about
I don't accept the way they handle my order. I've been a lawyer customer at lowe's for years, i was trying to refund my riding mower, because I didn't like how it sounded. I thought something may have been wrong with it. It was said that they only refund 2 days after purchase. But this was the 3rd day, so they wouldn't help me with that. They said I had to contact the company John Deer company. Which was 30 miles away from where I live? So i contacted them and they said they would take a look at...

Poor service from Lowe's and poor QC from John Dee
The mower was delivered and the PTO wouldn't stay engaged so the blades didn't turn. Notified store 'manager' and was told they would bring me a replacement mower and pick up the defective one the same day. Next day and the defective mower is still in the yard and no replacement was delivered. The next day I talked to a different 'manager' and was told the defective mower would be picked up and a replacement would be delivered. The next day the defective mower was finally picked up but no replac...

Poor service
I purchased this less than a quarter mile away from my house and I was told I it's being shipped from a where house not from the store where I bought it and instead.having it the day I purchased it or the next day. It is now a week later maybe some time today to receive it if the truck doesn't break down again.

Lowes Customer Service
I purchased this item brand new. When delivered the delivery guys just dropped off and took off. The product was damaged on the front bumper and the belt that turns the blades is loose to where the mower deck shakes. Been trying to get ahold of customer service and no response. Will have to go in person to get anything accomplished. I would like to be contacted about this. Please advise.
We're sorry to hear that, Chris. We recommend you contact the Lowe's Customer Support line. You can call them at 1 (800) 445-6937.
Poor care and handling Poor delivery
Read the owners manual thoroughly after delivery before operating. Mine arrived with the emergency brake handle disconnected from the linkage. The hydrostatic bypass valve rod on the rear of motor was not fully depressed like its suppose to be. Even though the delivery driver started the mower and drove it into the front yard after lowering the truck ramp. This bypass valve rod is about 5" long and has to be pulled out in order to push the mower manually. I have no way of knowing how long or ho...

NIce mower, lots of traction and nice features.
I expect to be very pleased with this mower. It is easy to drive, cuts well and has nice features. My only complaint is that the manual is not very clear in it's directions. My old mower was really old and had none of the "new" features this mower has. I love the features, but would have liked to have more detailed instructions.

We are seniors and we were really in need of a great mower at a great price. This John Deere is easy to use and does a great job. These mowers are really tough and sturdy. Glad we got it.
