After mowing lawns for 40+ years, I finally have a mower that does everything it's supposed to do, and does it well. I've had this model for 5 years, and it always starts on the second pull. i only use the electric start once a year. just make sure it still works. Never fails. It also sucks the grass into the deck and cuts ALL the way to the edge of the machine. I never use a trimmer anymore. When I'm done mulching, I quickly attach the side chute and blow all the debris off the drive and sidewalks. This feature alone makes it a great mower...
I highly recommend this mower!
