What Customers Are Saying
The mower provides good performance with a powerful engine, smooth transmission, and tight turning radius. It cuts grass evenly on uneven terrain and has convenient features like reverse mowing and a deck wash system. However, some users have reported issues with vibration, seat adjustment, and occasional mechanical failures. While the mower generally works well, especially for medium-sized yards, there are concerns about quality control and long-term durability.

Disappointed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In order to drive straight you have to turn the steering wheel off center. It’s Brand new. Also, even at the highest setting (6) it cuts the grass too low. The other five settings will never be used. Did a web search and found that these complaints are common. Old Husqvarna lasted 13 years until the motor went. It was great. Next time I need a mower I’ll try a different maker.

Don’t Purchase
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the worst lawnmower I have ever used. I have to take it in to get serviced for the second time already. I’ve only run about 5 tanks of gas with it.The grass discharge gets plugged up every 50-100’! I’m almost better off using a push mower.

Good Home Riding Lawnmore
