Husqvarna XT722FE-CA 22-Inch 173cc Kohler XT-7 3-N-1 Variable Speed FWD Self Propelled Lawn Mower With Electric Start (CARB Compliant)

I haven't had this mower long, so I can't speak on longevity
after mowing a couple of times with it, I can only find a couple of little quirks, (no deal breakers!) the engine runs great. I just charged the battery overnight, added oil and gas. turned the key the thing started instantaneously! starts just as well hot or cold. this boy is a great baggar, grass, leaves gets it all in one pass I haven't mulched with it yet I'll update this review when I have mulched with it.
