I love this little thing! I'm 53, female disabled. I have an autoimmune arthritis that makes it tough to do much physical labor. I have my lawn mowed by a service, but they never do the inside of my fenced in area of my backyard. It's probably a 25ftx25ft area of grass. It it's fence in and the fence is covered with wisteria. I usually use a weedeater to keep it short, I've tried to think of ways to make it maintenance free. I decided to buy this little push mower and give it a try! So glad I did! I just weedeat around the edges and mow the center and I have a perfectly maintained lawn! This is my 3rd summer and it's going strong. Cons? Yeah, there's a few...any sticks causes major issues...it will lock up without notice!!! Also your ground isn't perfectly level it's hard to get one tire out of the hole. There WAS a walnut tree not too far from the area and if one fell or blew into the fenced area it wreaker havoc with this little mower.
