I was a little concerned about buying a lawn mower online and having it shipped. I compared prices and features with the mowers at the big box stores and this seemed to be the best value .The lawn mower arrived several weeks ago and I have been very pleased with its performance. It was shipped assembled, all I had to do was fold the handle bar out and tighten the bolts, fill with oil and gas, and the lawn mower started on first pull. It has consistently started on first pull since. I have 1/3 acre and this is perfect size mower. The yard looks great when mowed with this machine. I have been satisfied with purchase and would definitely buy again.
