Follow up to original reveiw
Had the mower for a week and went to start it to cut the grass for the second time and the mower would not start! After calling selling dealer and leaving message and they have not returned my call 4 days later. I found the problem to be the negative Battery cable was loose and about to fall off. I've had the mower less than 2 weeks and it's been a nightmare. I will be calling my Bank and disputing the charge!! Come and pick this garbage up!!!

10/10 Great mower
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great mower and great price. I bought the mulch kit and this mower cuts better than a push mower with the fabricated deck.

Pleased
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After push mowing my lawn for 2 decades, the zero turn makes life simpler. It is easy to operate and has the power needed to mow my uneven yard.
