YARDMAX 22 in. 201cc Select PACE 6 Speed CVT High Wheel RWD 3-in-1 Gas Walk Behind Self Propelled Lawn Mower, Black

Out of the box easy to set up. Not brain surgery. Adjusted the handle, added the oil, added gas and set wheel hight less than 10 minutes. First crank took 3 pulls with no fuel priming. Put the gear in 1st gear for test cut. Found the speed to be good. 2nd gear speed was still good. 3rd gear was the right speed for me. Self pulling strength was excellent. Backing up was easy. Turning corners was smooth. I'm guessing the review that said the turning was difficult was by someone who didn't know how to turn a self propelled mower. I found absolutely no issue with turning. I can't really give a good review on the cutting as my yard was a bit overgrown with winter growth but I will say that for what I was asking it to cut, I was happy with the results. Once I get it all cut down and get a few cuts done, I'll add more on the quality of the cut. I don't use the bag so I can't review that part. I prefer the grass to stay on the ground. So after my first cut, which was only about half my yard, I have to say this machine is well worth the price.

Purchased to replace a stolen light weight pusher. Although this mower is expensive it is worth the premium. Substantially built, heavy horsepower, effortless cutting, easily navigated in my opinion, and it uses less fuel than my old mower. I don't use the grass catcher so I can't comment on that feature, but it expels cuttings with no issues. I cut about one half acre and have done so twice since purchase and the task is significantly reduced by the self-propelled feature. I would buy again.

Major Design Faults: (1) Speed - too much (2) Collection Bag design - small opening, wrong hooks (3) Grass throwing window from blade to bag - not sufficient (4) Powered Wheels - doesn't move without power lever (5) Gas guzzler - takes lot of gas (6) height adjuster - never sticks to the setting, etc.I'll try to make it short: (1) When you begin to move by pressing the lever, the machine jumps and runs very fast. Is it a Ferrari? I hit fencing, trees, broke my the vinyl siding...It has six speed levels - LOL. Am I driving a super Car? I used the min speed, didn't dare to try other speeds. That brings to (5) gas guzzler. It is powerful (in speed?) so takes lot of gas. (2) The collecting back has small mount and wrong hooks. Grass will struck at the mouth when you try to throw into the collecting garbage bag. Doesn't move on it own, use hands to clear the mouth or pull the grass into the garbage bag. The two side hooks are U shaped out wards, these hooks holds the running cables, garbage bag, and not easy to take it out and put it back into place. Not at all convenient, you get frustrated with these actions. (3) Usually the opening from blade to bag is 2/3 of back plate. This one has1/4 of the opening to throw the grass into collecting bag. This short opening will quickly block with grass within a short distance and the blade throws all around within no time. Bag is empty, grass is all around the machine. What an horrible design. Every few minutes you have to takeout the bag, clear the opening. That's why, (2) creates lot of frustration. (4) when wheel is not powered, the m/c doesn't move. You can't do manual lawn moving, super hard. For narrow places, you can't power the wheel (bcoz Ferrari speed) and you can't do it manually. What to do? (6) the blade height adjuster never stick to the highest level. It's a wrong design, easily slips to the lowest level. I don't think their design team tested it properly? they have 4-5 levels of height adjustment, consider it as only one level, that is lowest height.Bottom line - for a few dollar savings, I choose this but is lot of pain to use. PLEASE AVOID IT FOR YOUR GOOD HEALTH.

Is it the best mower out there? No, but for the money it’s built well and it has lots of power what I’m saying is this lawn mower is a beast,starts right up and goes through anything with ease, would I buy again? Yes, it also cuts nice level lines I gave 4 stars because it’s not the best mower out there and it should be packed a little better.. mine wasn’t damaged but I’ve read lots of people had damage when there’s was delivered needs better packing

This Yardmax lawnmower is an absolute powerhouse. It cuts like a razor and makes mowing the lawn a true pleasure. With its solid construction and exceptional quality, it not only performs well but also has an appealing design. If you're in search of a reliable workhorse, look no further—this is the lawnmower you need.

Good mower and value, easy to unpack and assemble. Cranked on the first pull. Great cutting mower, used as mulcher, have not bagged or side discharged yet.

Unpacked and set up in about 15 minutes.....oil and funnel included....then gassed up and cut grass for two hours....Very powerful both cutting and pulling. Speed control works. Very easy crank after gas get to the carburetor...I have not figured out the height adjustment yet and I'm not a big fan of the wheel break on the rear....it makes it awkward to back up but it is a monster on the grass and brush
