What Customers Are Saying

The mower has a mixed performance. Some users find it powerful, easy to use, and good value, while others report issues with the design and quality. Positives include a strong engine, self-propelled feature, and lightweight build. However, common complaints include a small and poorly designed grass catcher, overly fast self-propelled speed, and clogging or stalling when cutting taller or damp grass. Durability is also a concern, with some users reporting premature breakdowns.

Lack of power!

Would Not Recommend

I am disappointed in with the lack of power, the mower doesn’t throw the grass clippings far enough in to the bagger, you constantly have to take the bag off to physically move the clippings to the back of the bagger or the mower stalls!

Super easy mower to setup and run

Would Recommend

I really like that it is a mulching blade so I don’t have to rake up clippings. I like that it’s guaranteed start every time. It works great for uneven terrain. Super easy to put together once you get it home and unboxed.

Worst mower ever

Would Not Recommend

I bought this mower at 12:09pm brand new, get home put together,put oil in and gas it up, try to run a pass on the lawn the motor after two passes starts to bog down til it cuts off, try to pull the string to start back up and it won't pull, the engine locked up. Take it back to store to return by 2:32pm. Had high hopes for Briggs and Stratton as all my other mowers had done well. But this disappointed. Do not buy.

Good mower to purchase

Would Recommend

The instruction pages have no words. Just pictures that aren’t totally helpful. No description how to slow the self propelled speed. Otherwise seems to be a good mower.
