This mower came with our house when we bought it. Could be easily over 10 years old-works great. We just had the blades sharpened, and that made a huge difference in the cut, too. Wouldn't recommend for a large lawn, but our lawn is not too big, and this is perfect. Would recommend to anyone with a smaller space. So easy to push, and gets the job done just a quick as our electric. And, of course, it couldn't be more energy efficient!
