| Haven't had any problems with this mower during the 4 uses thus far. I have a city lot with trees and I am very pleased with how well this mower makes my lawn look and how well it bags the leaves. The bag is a bit small, but I expected that as it's not a riding mower. The mower is light, easy to push, easy to start (1 pull), and seems like it will be very easy to maintain. I'm very pleased with my purchase! |
Good Lawn Mower for Small Yards

Purchased this Lawn-Boy with some reluctance since the one I owned years ago lasted only a few years and never cut well. The wheels were awkward too witht e the offset to accomodate the side chute. However... thus far, the new mower has been a joy to use. It mulches the leaves well, as I am surrounded by maples, ash and oaks. The noise is not bad and the steering is very easy. Starting is with one easy pull. I have a small yard so there was no need to buy a self propelled, thought it would be good exercise pushing it around too. If I had a large amount of property - touch up around trees and bushes would be a good use for this mower. Havent't tried the bag or the side chute; you have to send in for the free attachment chute, but it only takes a few weeks to arrive. Because we mulch in this city - bagging is not done much anymore, the trash man doesn't pick up grass clippings and composting is just too "green" for me. Leaves, once mulched up, along with the grass clippings and some 12-12-12 work wonders for the lawn. Grass look great. The cut is even and and can't tell where all the clippings go. The mower has gone thru some thicker parts of the lawn, where my old Sears Honda 6.5 mulcher would stall, and the Lawn-Boy doesn't miss a beat.
The price at $260 was considerably less then what I paid 8 years ago for the Sears and it works as well if not better. Some foks complained about the odd oil capacity of 20 ounces and measuring was a problem, or the side chute had to be ordered - neither are really that big of deals - the mower is cost effective, does what it is designed to do, and start easy and is not too much of a gas hog. Ordering in the fall is a great idea since the cost is lower. The other thing that is nice is the blades, air filter, and accessories are at the local hardware store. Lawn-Boy is somewhat a popular brand. Consumer Report picked this one correctly. Amazon had delivered this mower in less than 10 days and while the box was beat up a bit, the mower was in brand-new shape. |

| Started right up. Somewhat difficult to adjust mower height. Does an excellent job mulching -- so far no row of clippings adjacent the wheels while mowing which happened frequently with my old mower (not a Lawn Boy). |
Good buy
