(More customer reviews)This mower makes me wish I had a larger yard to mow more often. I'm outdoors, I can hear the birds, there is the smell of freshly cut grass but there is not the hammer of a small gasoline engine, the odor of hydrocarbon combustion nor the annoying trailing of a power cord. Mowing dry grass or even moist grass after a light morning shower here in the mountains of New Mexico becomes pleasant outdoor exercise approaching recreation.The folding handle is elegant but one must take care during assembly to understand how it works so that one does not damage it during assembly. There is ample instructional caution on this point. The carrying handle is comfortable and equally handy to carry this lightweight unit folded or unfolded.The folding handle itself doesn't help me with storage and I leave it locked in the unfolded position but if you have a vertically tighter space than I it could be ideal to reduce the height of the stored unit by half. Edging, mowing around sprinkler heads, and over irregular surfaces or buffalo grass hummocks will require repeated passes in more than one direction, other hand tools and patience to achieve a manicured appearance (but these limitations are not unique to this mower). My grass here in the arid West does not have the density I grew up with behind a gasoline mower in the humid South but I would love to try it back there. I think it would still prefer over a gasoline mower for a smooth lawn of less than half an acre frequently cut. I am raking the clippings and I do not know if a grass catcher is available. The blade clearance was perfectly adjusted out of the box cutting a piece of paper as described in the instructions as cleanly and effortlessly as a pair of scissors. Adjustment of cutting blade to blade and cutting height is easy without tools. This unit replaced a Sears Craftsman reel mower. It is half the weight, 3 times the cutting efficiency, much more easily stored, more rugged, far more precisely engineered and pleasant to use.
