The idea of this self propelled mower that adjust to your walking speed is a great idea, but it doesn't work as advertised. I have now mowed my grass 4 times with it. I waited to review it since I thought some of the problems were just a matter of my getting used to it. They aren't. The fact the mower does not adjust to my speed results in me having to push it (not easy) before it takes off or it taking off faster than I can walk which tends to cause the front wheels to raise up and miss spots. The mulching aspect probably has a bad blade design because I will look back over what I have done and see individual blades it didn't cut (I think not enough suction to pull the grass up when it is cutting). What it does mulch comes out as the full length of what it has cut instead of like other mulching mowers where the turbulence in the mower seemed to chop up the grass finer than this one does.
