EDITED: I ended up purchasing this mower just this month (5/2010) since no amount of adjustment made my Sears Craftsman mower useable. What a difference! I cannot use power equipment or my hands go numb and have been using a flock of domestic geese to manage 1+ acre of lawn in 4 fenced 'compartments'. A few times per year I need to give a once over with a mechanical mower and this does a fantastic job! I have some weeds and some areas with unevenness and the mower handled it fine. The blade height adjustment is a cinch to use. Cons: (1) wheels are positioned so I can't get close to my fence edge so I have ~6" of lawn to deal with otherwise (2) no grass catcher included. I prefer the snap on/snap off catchers I used to be able to get. Right now I'm mowing at the highest setting.
