Santa arrived a little early this year and left this mower on my porch. Since the weather has been pretty mild here in Michigan for this time of year, I decided to try it out. I really don't think I could have waited for spring! I was worried that dragging a cord around would be a problem---well it wasn't! You can quickly figure out a system where the cord is no problem at all. It arrives assembled--all you do is raise and tighten the handle, attach the catcher, and go! It is so lightweight and easy to push, I thought that I'd died and went to heaven! Best of all, there is no cord to pull!!! no deafening noise!!! no worry about having enough gas!!! It does a beautiful job and the catcher holds a lot of grass. I'm an experienced gardener and I've tried them all. Believe me when I say this thing is GREAT!!! It handles my 1/4 acre just fine!!! I highly recommend it! GO FOR IT!!!

Do not listen to all those who complain about this mower. It is perfect. If you are smart enough to look at this product online then you will have no problem working with this mower. No gas, no oil, plenty of power. I live in Utah where it snows a ton and the grass is thick and green. I had no problem cutting my thick grass with this mower. I did not have to go over it twice like some people are arguing. Save the environment by using electric mowers. Very light and easy to push. The cord is not a problem as long as you buy a long one 100 feet or so. It picked up all the clippings like a charm. I will never go back to a gas hog again.

I love this mower. There is no gas or oil to mess with and no cord to pull to start it. Just plug it in and go! The cord isn't that difficult to manipulate around. Just keep the cord laying in the part of the lawn that you've already mowed, and you're set. Height adjustment is also super easy with this mower. It's almost winter, and I couldn't help but laugh when I saw all my neighbors draining oil and gas from their mowers. The Lawn Hog is so much easier. The only people who might be unhappy with this mower are those who think the loudness of their mower (/motorcycle/car/tools/etc...you know the type!) makes them more "manly." Little do they know!
