Product Description
Amazon.com Review
This 3-1/2-horsepower, 20-inch side-discharge gas mower is a well-made beauty. Tomato-hued and skillfully tooled, this machine was built to do the job and do it for a long time. For a relatively low price, you get a powerful mower with a variety of features. Three settings in the mower deck allow you to adjust the wheels to different heights, though adjustments require that you remove all the wheels and reattach them in the new setting, so it's not an easy flick of a lever--you likely won't be switching settings frequently. Easier is the decision to discharge, bag, or mulch. A flip of the side flap converts the mower from mulch to side discharge, or you can hook up a bag (the 1.6-bushel grass catcher is not included). Tree guards prevent you from injuring tree trunks and shrubbery, the engine is low-emission, and the machine rolls smoothly and maneuvers well. A caveat: assembly of this mower is not for the faint of heart. A well-stocked toolbox is required; without a good supply of wrenches, your lawn will be a jungle before you get the lower handle attached to the upper handle (not to mention attaching the wheels, the blade control handle, and the brake cable). However, if you've got an hour to spare, enjoy the challenge of assembly instructions (clear and detailed though they are), and don't require a power mower that is self-propelled (you push this one--the engine is just for the blade), this side-discharge gas mower is a quality item at a bargain price.

This review is from: Yard Machines 11A-020B000 20-Inch 148cc Briggs & Stratton Mulch/Side Discharge Gas Powered Push Lawn Mower (Lawn & Patio)
I bought this mower about 5 years ago. A single woman, I never paid attention to oil changes or maintenance schedules. Just a week ago, I though I needed a new machine when the cord got stuck and would not recoil. It motivated me to learn to do my own maintenance on the mower.A clean, new air filter, a freshly sharpened blade and a new spark plug later with a healthy oil change proved to me how resilient this little machine is, and how sturdy it is. With its new parts and a good clean up, the little thing started working like new. If it can endure my abuse, believe me, it is a good product! I mow an area of about 1/8 acre. Very, very happy with my machine that is still faithful to my yard.

Best Machine,
This review is from: Yard Machines 11A-020B000 20-Inch 148cc Briggs & Stratton Mulch/Side Discharge Gas Powered Push Lawn Mower (Lawn & Patio)
I've had this machine since 1998 and it starts first pull every stinking year. I store it under the spruce trees in the winter. Gets plenty of use all summer. Replaced a wheel bolt, and repaired where the cable hooks into the throttle/on/off handle just this year.Other than that, it gets very little maintenance and still performs ridiculously well.I've never even replaced the spark plug..yikes... It looks worn, but the darn thing always works! No special care at all. I love this..would buy another, if and when I need to.

This review is from: Yard Machines 11A-020B000 20-Inch 148cc Briggs & Stratton Mulch/Side Discharge Gas Powered Push Lawn Mower (Lawn & Patio)
This mower should be in one of those "set it and forget it" infomertials. Before purchasing this mower you should understand its limitations. It has no throttle control, the handle isn't adjustable, and the wheels have to be completely removed to adjust the height. It runs at a fixed speed which is more than adequate. The only way to shut it down is to release the brake handle. If you're much taller than 6 feet the handle may be too low to comfortably push it. I set the wheels in the middle position and don't intend on ever adjusting them again. If you have a need to adjust the wheels or handle on your mower, think twice before you buy this one. Assembly was a straightforward 45 minute affair. Tools required were a set of sockets and a pair of RoboGrip pliers. A 20oz bottle of oil is included. Pour in the entire bottle and the engine will be filled to the correct level. It started on the 2nd pull. The 3.5 horsepower engine had plenty of power to mow my 3-5" grass that was on the damp side. The deck is made of steel rather than plastic or aluminum so its unlikely to crack.The product description is erroneous. This mower is strictly side discharge. It has no mechanism to switch to mulching. I brought this to Amazon's attention and they did offer to take the mower back at their expense. I'm happy enough with the mower to keep it. It does actually have a mulching blade so it doesn't produce as many clippings as expected. I'd say about half of it gets mulched.
