Mower arrived promptly.Assembly was easy.Filled with oil and fuel and was cutting in no time.Mower does an outstanding job mulching but.....

What were the engineers who designed the bagging system on this mower thinking?It is clear to me that they have someone mowing their lawns for them.

This bagging system is the WORST I have ever owned.It is inconvenient and awkward.Removing it from the mower ALWAYS leaves a bunch of grass behind because the bag separates from the housing every time.It is a hinged assembly.In addition, emptying the bag is a nightmare because the housing does not completely separate from the bag because of the hinge.

The mower is smooth and powerful but this bagging system is TERRIBLE!!

Ariens Zoom42 (42") 16.5-HP Zero Turn Lawn Mower - 915141 Review

I own two acres and the Ariens Zoom 42" zero turn mower is perfect for me.It has a peppy 16.5 Briggs engine with a spin on oil filter.Prior to my purchase of the Ariens and with much weed eating, it took me almost 5 hours to do my lawn.With the Ariens, it takes 2 hours including minimal weed eating.Because of its very adept handling, I had little to do once I finished the main mowing.It took about an hour to get used to the steering set up and the lack of brakes.The mower is comfortable with springs under the seat.A push pedal is used to raise and lower the mower deck making it very simple to adjust the cut.The 42" cut is great to get around trees and bushes while it's large enough to cover a considerable area.The only gripe I have is something that is probably my fault.I inadvertently hit a small poplar tree trunk with the rubber/plastic/composite grass shield and split it in half.I've never had this happen before with any mower.I spliced it back together with rivets and pieces of sheet metal, and it's holding up.I bought the Ariens because it was made in America, because of its reasonable price, and because of Consumer Reports and other reviews I have read.

Recharge Mower G1-RM10 27-Inch 36-Volt 38 amp Cordless Electric Rechargeable Riding Lawn Mower with Grass Catcher Review

I rated this mower at five stars because it delivered all that it promised.I also went directly through the Company (sorry, Amazon) because my comfort-zone with the price suggested to me that I should by-pass the middleman.From day-one, the company courteously answered all my pre-purchase questions, walked me through shipping - assembly- and operations, including tips to use the mower more effectively.

Using my push mower, my suburban lawn used to take me almost three hours to do, and that with my wife's help.(I'm retired, i.e., well over 21.) Now I do it by myself in about one hour.After about eight mowings already, I am quite satisfied.Operationally, the twin blades cut well, and the bagger is superb.The power is more than adequate, both in chomping grass and rises in terrain with rider and full load of grass.I also tested the charging capacity.I did a couple of double-runs on one recharge, for a total of about two and three-quarters of an hour.It can do the promised three hour running time per charge.

It was refreshing, considering the cost of the machine, to have so many safeguards to protect the mower itself, as well as the obvious safety to operator and other wee critters nearby.For me, it is more agile that a conventional tractor-type.I appreciate not having bio-hazards in the garage, no odors, and almost nothing in maintenance.With an estimated 25-30 recharges per mowing season,I would anticipate a long, long time before needing to replace the battery pack.

If you have a normal suburban-sized lawn, and a noisy conventional gas riding mower does not excite you, I could recommend the Recharge Electric riding mower without reservation.

A Greener Lawn, A Greener Planet
With the Recharge Mower, you can finally make your lawn truly green. This powerful, eco-friendly riding mower operates using three electric motors, a proprietary combination that provides low power consumption and optimum performance. And because it doesn't require the mess or expense of gas and oil, this riding mower emits zero carbon emissions, fumes, and odors.
Simple, Straightforward Operation
Complete with an easily accessible seat, this revolutionary mower is not only environmentally friendly, but also incredibly easy to use. The mower is operated through simple hand controls, and the included bagger easily detaches without tools for quick emptying.
To get the Recharge Mower ready for us, simply plug the included UL approved Smart Charger directly into any standard wall outlet. Charge the unit overnight, and it will be ready to mow the next morning--for up to three hours, more than enough time to cut any standard size lawn.
Powerful Mower for a Perfectly Manicured Lawn
When it comes to performance, the Recharge Mower won't let you down. The two long-life, 900-watt electric blades spin at 3,800 RPM for fast cutting. And five selectable cutting heights in half-inch increments from 0.75 to 2.75 ensure a perfectly manicured result.
The Recharge Mower also features a 27-inch wide cutting path--bigger than conventional walk-behind mowers, yet small enough to allow for free movement through an average fence gate, giving you convenient access to front and rear yards. The powerful rear-wheel-drive electric motor provides abundant forward and reverse momentum.
Designed with Safety in Mind
The Recharge Mower was designed with a host of features that ensure optimum user safety. To start, an operator-presence switch prevents the unit from functioning when the operator leaves the seat. Additionally, a blade engagement switch requires two actions to initiate the activation of the blade, and reverse speed limiting means the mower will only operate at half the normal forward speed while in reverse. For further safety, this mower operates quietly, so it's easy on your ears.
Rugged, Durable Construction for Long Life
The Recharge Mower is ultra-durable and won't need tune-ups or special maintenance. Built to last, it boasts a resilient body that's perfectly fitted over a coated and welded metal frame. Additionally, its sealed 36v38Ah batteries are center mounted to improve balance and weight distribution, while its cutting blades are housed within the metal shrouded deck for extra protection against wear and tear.
What's more, all of the Recharge Mower's connections are tight and weatherproofed with shrink wrap, and the electronic components are safely positioned and shielded under the operator seat to prevent damage.
The Recharge Mower conforms to UL1447 and ANSI B71.1 standards and comes with a two-year limited warranty.
What's in the Box
Mower with three sealed batteries; grass catcher; charger; and operator's manual.

Weed Eater WE-ONE 26-Inch 190cc Briggs & Stratton 875 Series Gas Powered Riding Lawn Mower With Electric Start Review

With this being a new item this year, early availability has been low.Found that one of the Big Box retailers had received one or two each and thought I'd snag one quick as they could be in short supply.Going on faith, as no reviews to be found yet, I brought one home still crated.Was very pleased with quality at first sight, found it to be very simple to assemble and it started right up with just some fuel...oil already installed.I had read about the new Briggs 875 engine and although no HP rating, the 8.75 torqe rating was listed.The engine is very quiet with a nice muffler system and it moves the mower over grass very well.Engaging the mower deck (belt driven so do so slowly, the noise level increases while turning the drive pulleys and the blade and the enging revs with the increased load.As it is only mid March, I haven't cut grass with it yet, but I expect it will do so nicely.There are 3 forward speeds and I am hopeful that it will cut well at the fastest because the lower two are a bit slow for long stretches, but nice for going against walkways, etc.There are only four cutting heights available with the middle two being approximately 2 1/4 and 3 1/4 high.I expect that I may wish it had another height in between these, say about 2 3/4, as the highest and lowest will probably not be useful for me.While the ergonomics seem fine so far, the seat appears to have cushioned sections but they are no softer than the rest of it.Given the low price, I can't really quibble with that and I will likely use a stadium seat pad if uncomfortable as is.Controls seem convenient and sightlines for cutting are good.26" cut is relatively small, but hopefully will be made up for by speed and less walking.The specs say that the blade is designed for mulching and bagging, but the accessories (mulch kit or bag) are not yet available but the mulch kit is expected to be soon.The turning circle is not tight, as I expected for this type of unit, so a few perimeter runs will likely be needed to gain area for turning for the mid-lawn runs.My property is only 120' square, but significantly larger lots may demand a wider cut and more features.Having said that, this unit is fairly small, of low complexity (one blade) and if it cuts well should meet the needs of many homeowners.It is not a tractor, so towing attachments doesn't appear to be an option, but that allows for a smaller motor and footprint in the garage.Lastly, I like that it is in cruise control when moving, no foot on the gas, only the brake/clutch when needed (it actually has a brake pad and rotor).I will review grass cutting later in the Spring.
