Very Good Product
The innovative MySpeed Drive System provides control of the self-propelled mower or you can push it if you want additional exercise. You will find that it works well either way.
The catch bag is just the correct size for transferring the grass into a grass/leaf bag.
It has started on the first pull so far all season.
I would definitely recommend this product.

Love This Mower
I bought the Sc500hw about 1 month ago. I absolutely love the way this mower starts so easily but most of all the maneuverability of it. With the front caster wheels it is vary easy to mow around things like a round garden without have the lift the front end of the mower. It mows effortlessly and is really enjoyable to cut the grass. The only thing I don't like is after cutting the grass and returning the mower to the shed, the handle to push it back is a little uncomfortable (Unless you grab the handle that engages the gears to move the mower). Not a big thing though.

Nice mower but having bagging issues
The Pro's -
Easy to start
Speed control is good
The Con's
Has bagging issues. Mower would start clogging and assumed the bag was full. Went to empty the bag and it was only about 1/3 full. Kept happening. Doesn't matter how long the grass is I can't get it to fill the bag up. Yes the grass is dry and I've tried different mowing heights on the mower.
I've also had a few issues with it leaving a small strip of grass uncut. Have to catch it on the next pass. Usually happens on a slope.
Not impressed.

Great mower starts every time on the first pull.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second season using this mower still starts right up on the first pulls cuts evenly, great power beat mower I have ever owned. Extremely impressed with its performance I would buy another one in a heartbeat. Can’t go wrong with this one.

Great Mower
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased a couple of months ago, and am happy that i did. It starts on the first pull. The mower uses very little fuel. The "self-propel" works very well, and it cuts great. Super easy height adjustment. 3 year warranty is a big plus. The only issue that i have had is the bag-door assembly spring / rod has disconnected slightly. I can't get the rod back through the entire hinge, and thus the bag-door is now loose ...this could have been designed better...a simple cotter pin at each end of the rod would keep it from coming out. I plan to take it back to the shop where it was purchased to see if they can provide a fix.

I love this mower, it's light weight and easy to move around. The deck wash system is awesome, great feature. I have had one problem with it since new, it smokes a lot on start up, but I am working with my dealer and after the mowing season is over I am taking it back in for repair.

Nice color
Wish I had bought the model with the easy start. After running it and
then shutting down. It is difficult to start on the second time. I will admit the grass was wet. This years abundance of rain made cutting
a problem.
