My grass was very tall because we've had so much rain, and it just never seemed to dry out. I have a 12-year old Craftsman mower, which still works great, but doesn't do a good job of mulching. Therefore, I needed to use the bag. Well, grass kept clumping and wouldn't go into the bag. Even though I bagged it, I still needed to rake the lawn, and it looks very uneven. I watched my neighbor do his lawn in half the time with a mulching mower and decided to buy a new mower to do my back yard. After reading the reviews on Amazon.com, I purchased this mower from my local Home Depot because I didn't want to wait for shipping since more rain was in the forecast.

This mower took less than 15 minutes to set up and it started right up. It was easier to use than my old mower, and it mulched the grass without any visible clumps. It cut very evenly, even though the grass was so tall. It maneuvers better than my old mower, and I mowed the back yard in record time without much effort. It mulched small branches and whirlybirds, was easy to maneuver around my flower beds, and the back yard looks great. It looks like it was vacuum cleaned!

I didn't find it heavy to push--it pushed much easier than my old mower. I could push it with one hand--even through the tall grass!

I highly recommend this mower.

This mower started up first pull out of the box. Cuts evenly and mulches very well. I've mowed my lawn three times with it and I'm very pleased. Plus, it is very quiet. Much quieter than any push mower I've ever had.

I'd buy it again.

I purchased this two days ago and last night I decided to put it together. Before I even put the oil and gas into it, I decided to push it down the driveway. The thing is terribly aligned and in about 25 feet it drifts 2-4 feet to the left. I checked to see if all the wheels were rotating evenly (they were) and to see if they were off balance (they weren't) and I also checked to see if one of the wheels happened to be set at a different height than the others (they werent). This is going back to the store (to probably get the same model since I know how good Lawn Boys are) But this is very frustrating.

Buying a mower is tough, especially if you want a push model. Most of the lower-end push models are just that - very low end. Sure, they will run, but performance (i.e., even cut, good mulching, good bagging) is so-so. And, if you can find a decent performing one, the build quality/durability when it comes to handles, wheels, etc. is lacking.

On the opposite end of the spectrum you have high end push mowers from Toro (their Super Recycling series) and Honda. Great mowers - built well, perform well, will last for many years. But, the push models they make are only available from dealers (not sold at the big-box stores) so you're looking at some big bucks.

The Lawn Boy is a perfect compromise. No, it's not as well-built as a mower costing twice as much, but it is much nicer than what you'd find at a big box store. Excellent engine -- the B&S Ready Start is just that: no priming, no choke, just pull and go. The wheel assembly is also excellent, with the same wide, easy turn wheels found on the higher end Lawn Boys. That is especially nice in a push mower since you're doing all the pushing!

The bag is not as nice as the higher end Lawn Boys that have a larger opening and a one-hand design. Still, this works well. The bag is of decent quality, but on the small side. That's not a bad thing in a push mower, however, since again, you're doing all the pushing!

Cut height goes up to 4 inches. Rare to see that in a mower in this price range. The one-piece handle is sturdy, but you may want to add a piece of foam if you're using the mower for a long period of time since that will cut down or eliminate "numb hand" from the vibration.

Performance is great. No problems getting through tall grass - mulched right through it with no visible clumps. I don't use the bag attachment unless I'm picking up leaves in the fall, so I can't comment on how well it bags yet. I'll update this in the fall after I have some experience. I can say that this is one of the best mulching mowers I've used. The "Consumer" magazine gives this a very high rating, and I concur - performs like a champ.

I don't find the weight to be a problem at all. Very easy to push, and turns (with the fat boy tires) are easy as can be. Solid construction means you have to deal with some weight -- the deck is solid and does not flex at all. Need thick steel (and therefore weight) to do that. If you can't push this you should look at a self-propelled model (or hit the gym a bit -- anyone who is in reasonable good shape should not have a problem).

It's getting ever more hard to find a decent push mower. Seems everyone wants a self-propelled these days. Nothing wrong with that, but I look at lawn mowing as a form of exercise. Plus, I have several planting beds in the lawn, and a push mower is a perfect fit for getting around the obstacles easily. Good to see that Lawn Boy is not ignoring this segment of the market. Highly recommend this mower if you're looking for a push model.

We have used it several times this year and it cuts well, even on a first pass of tall grass. Don't yet have an idea on durability. It's easy to manuever and starts up easily.

I had 2 Sears Craftsman mowers before this, each lasted about 15 years, but Sears isn't what it used to be...
The Lawnboy was simple to set up. Attach the handle and add oil and gas. It started on the first pull out of the box! It is very quite and does a good job mulching.

Note that the side discharge chute is not included in the box. They include a card that says that most purchasers don't use it, so they send it free on request. Just mail in the enclosed card or check the side discharge chute request in the on-line registration at their website.

I was able to request my chute, but otherwise their web site is pretty poor. The dealer locater doesn't work (or they don't know they sell mowers in Texas). Also the registration application doesn't work - apparently today April 19, 2009 doesn't exist on planet Lawnboy. So I had better send in my chute request post card too.

i'll start from beginning. went to home depot pulled box off rack and $240 bucks later its in my driveway. after opening box it was built in 5 minutes
without any tools. filled crankcase with 20 oz. of included oil and put in some gas and it fired up on first pull. no choke or priming bulb nothing. just pull and it starts. awesome briggs motor. double horsepower of my old craftsman and half the sound. the exhaust pipe actually muffles sound. not like those tuna fish cans on the side of most motors. mower is very light and easily manuverable. just what i wanted. something simple. so it has a few holes on the deck used on the more expensive mower. BIG DEAL! it just means to me i got the same quality steel deck the better model gets.doesn't have any bells and whistles i don't need and without $500 price tag. cut so cleanly and evenly. sucked up all clippings. like a vacuum for my lawn. even some twigs i thought were just going flung off to the side were sucked up and munched into the bag. the chubby wheels floated over grass and i was done in a snap. wished i had more lawn.the clipping bag comes off easily and empties without making a mess. plus its a cool kawasaki ninja green! so happy i didn't spend so much more on the flashy honda. it just looks and feels like quality. highly recommended to my jealous neighbor. to you too

Customer Buzz
Lots of holes on deck for parts for and upgrade model, does not have a side discharge as described, single speed fits all, easy to assemble, and as always quickly delivery by Amazon,
I mean even the Mao Xetung lawnmowers at Wally World have plugs in the deck for missing parts and are functioning as described.
The green color is very nice. Lawn Boy must believe that entry level must be less than exceptional and exceptable
