A good investment for one that likes to walk behind a mower but not push. The AutoWalk feature allows you to walk the speed you want. The 3-n-1 mowing system allows you to to side discharge, mulch or bag. The bag is located in the rear of the machine and holds 2.5 bushels of grass. It also has a Honda 5.5 hp motor and is rear wheel drive.
This is our best selling lawn mower. A few complaints have been with bent blades and not mulching well. The customers have admitted to be the causes of both these problems - they've hit metal posts or rocks that have bent the blades and have tried to mulch thick, wet heavy grass. Other then that we have nothing but good reports.

Honda OHV engine
quiet
AutoWalk feature
rear wheel drive
3-n-1 mowing capabilities
easily converted from one system to the other

good price

Cons:
doesn't mulch wet grass
Honda engine is a "home owner" model
