Word of warning. This mower is heavy to get out of the box. Needs two. Quality is excellent and it appears made to last. It is fairly easy and straightforward to set up although the photographs in the instruction manual could be a lot clearer. It moves very easily and isn't hard to push BUT watch out if you are using the self propelled setting, it goes off at a fair speed and could take you by surprise if not ready for it. Cutting heights are simple to adjust and it does cut well but just be careful with the grass box, if it gets too full it becomes hard to lift at our age ( 70s ) With the afore mentioned caveats I can fully recommend this mower.
