Cuts through our half-acre yard without bogging down. Shipping took a few extra days but the item itself is solid.
Couldn't be happier. Starts on the first pull every time, way better than our old one.
Upgraded from an old push mower and the difference is night and day. A little pricier than I hoped but the quality justifies it.
Handles slopes better than I expected for the price.
