So far, so great! Cuts beautifully...cross-cutting. Leaves the clippings right there. On lower settings, it cuts VERY close to the ground, too! It's quite even. No, it's not like a power mower... but it's easy to use, lightweight - when rolling, that is - and the blades cut well. It does make a bit of noise when the blades are turning. It's not horrible, but those sensitive to higher-pitched noises may not like it. NOTE: it does NOT cut certain things above a certain height. I don't recall what the cutoff is, but once the grass gets too high, this will NOT cut it! That's because of the way the blades work. I used a weed-whacker to chop things down, then it cut just fine. So...you have to keep up with it. What's the up-side? NO gas, NO electric, almost maintenance-free, doesn't take up much room, doesn't overheat... isn't hard to push, and has a nice, 20-inch cutting width! Even a good-sized lawn is no problem for this. However, it will not cut into corners. You'll need a weed-whacker afterwards. Still, it's the perfect choice for those who are trying to be eco-friendly, or who just don't want the extra cost and maintenance of a powered mower. REALLY could use a good grass catcher attachment. The one that's out there isn't made by Scotts, so it doesn't really fit correctly. I'm looking for a better solution.
