I was skeptical about this as I had never even laid eyes on an electric mower before. Long story short the cord was not a problem and I got used to it very quick. It was powerful and cut through dense St. Augustine grass. I have not tried the bagger so I don't have any opinion on that. I am 6ft4 and usually am uncomfortable with mowers but the handle adjusted to me perfectly. It rolled very smoothly and adjusts height with a single lever.

I purchased this lawn mower about a month ago. I had just bought a house and didn't have a mower and money was tight. The monsoons had just ended and the grass was at least 2 feet high in some areas. For the most part even with the grass being so high I was able to do one pass, except for a few areas. I was really impressed!!

My favorite feature is probably the mower height adjustment. With one hand I was able to raise and lower the mower with the greatest of ease. Second would be the fact that I could shut off the mower and turn it back on with the pull of a little lever.

When mowing the lawn using a corded mower like this, start closest to the house and work your way away from the house so the cord doesn't interfere

Enjoy ... I certainly did.

My family and I moved into a new home and I wanted to get away from a gas lawn mower. I did some research and this mower's reviews were all good. So I ordered one. I have not been disappointed at all. I use it to mow about an acre of land (we have a shed with electricity in the middle of of the back). When we first moved in I ignored the already long grass in the front for about 2 weeks and it worked its way up to between 6"-8" inches. I started up the mower and zoomed right over it. The next week I did half of the back yard and discovered that it had a lot of hidden rocks in it. It dinged up the blade some but I hadn't noticed at that point. The following week I went for the last half of the back yard which worked its way up to 8"-10" inches. I ended up with some slowdown but when I moved from mulching to a side discharge that took care of most of the slowdowns. It did end up with grass building up underneath and along the side discharge which I feel was to be expected since the grass was long and full of moisture. That's when I noticed the dinged up blade edge from the rocks. I finished up the back, cleaned up the mower, and sharpened the blade. The next time that I had it out the wife and kids(7 and 3) wanted to try it. I walk along side of the 7 year old who can push it and assisted the 3 year old who can push it short distances. Our yard is slightly sloped front to back but pushing the mower is not tiring.

It is now fall and I use the mower to mulch up the leaves in the yard vs raking and burning them.

I have recommended this mower to family and friends.
