This mower really cuts grass well. Only 2 drawbacks I found: 1. you must make sure all twigs from trees are picked up as small twigs will stop the mower in it's tracks, when they get lodged between blade and cutter & 2. this mower will not go to the highest hight adjustment and work...the bracket that holds the back rollers is made from plastic on each side, and it will bend, thus allowing the roller to pop out and the mower will fall back to the lowest setting and cause you to reset the roller.  If however you are happy with the medium setting or low setting, this mower works great.  I had forgotten how much fun it is to push one of these babies!  that good old sound, and the grass goes chop chop!  No gas, no oil, no starter cable to break, no exhaust, no starter fluid, no priming...just push!
