Know before you buy
The Personal Pace system uses sensors in the handle to detect how much pressure you are applying as you walk. The mower automatically adjusts its speed to match your stride, so it moves only as fast or as slow as you do.
This model features an engine designed so you never have to drain and replace the oil. You simply need to check the oil level before each use and add more if it gets low, which significantly simplifies your seasonal maintenance routine.
SmartStow allows you to fold and store the mower upright. This vertical storage position reduces the floor space footprint of the mower by up to 70% compared to a standard mower stored in the operating position.
Yes, the mower is designed for 3-in-1 versatility. You can switch between these modes by adjusting the discharge chute and attaching or removing the included bagger, allowing you to adapt to your lawn's specific needs each time you mow.
An aluminum deck is a significant advantage because it is completely rust-proof and lighter than steel. This makes the mower more durable over time, especially if you live in a humid climate or frequently mow damp grass.
The cutting height is adjustable between 1.25 inches and 4.25 inches. This range is sufficient for most residential lawn types, allowing you to keep your grass at a healthy, preferred length.
