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.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Great Lawn Tractor.
I absolutely love our S100 42-in 17.5-hp John Deere single-cylinder lawn tractor; it is everything advertised and more. The cutting performance is exceptional, and it has made maintaining my lawn significantly easier and more efficient. It handles well, starts reliably every time, and feels like a very sturdy, well-built machine. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a dependable mower.
Best mower ever
This John Deere mower works wonderfully. I had no trouble cutting grass that was relatively high. I have a half acre lawn and it was cut in a small amount of time. This is the best riding mower that I’ve ever owned, I owned quite a few as I have been living in my house for 46 years.
Thanks for your purchase and keeping John Deere in the family!
Does a great job nhraven
Cuts very well and mulches. My only regret is that the mower rides very stiffly. Every bump is hard on my bottom.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate the feedback.
This Deere is Awesome
My wife bought this Riding Mower a month ago for me and I am very happy with it. It makes my mowing a breeze and it handles very well. I have 3/4 of an acre between the front and back yard. Cutting is much easier and quicker now.
Glad to hear it. Thanks for being a part of the John Deere family!
Eay to operate, easy to clean, easy to purchase
We have had this Lawn mower for a few weeks and I love it. Cuts perfectly, rides smoothly, and it's easy to clean and store. The lowes customer service helped us with the purchase and she was absolutely amazing to work with. Transmission is smooth at shifting and the blades mulch with ease

Perfect for Small Yards
I have only a 0.3 acre yard, so this little guy is perfect. I feel safe letting my kids use it, it cuts well without gouging up the bumpy yard, and runs very smoothly.
