I purchased this $300 22" mower to replace an old Sears electric start 22" mower that had mowed approximately 600 miles. Comments: 1. The new mower has no speed control for the motor RPM. It is preset - one speed for life. I don't know if this is good or bad, but it sure is a change for me. I just roar a long. 2. The handle is floppy. I had to drill the brackets and clamp it with 5/16 x1 bolts and nuts. 3. The drive is variable. 0 to fast as you squeeze the control lever. It should have a blocking device to maintain a speed with a quick release. 4. The quick wash is not adequate. The plastic fitting will not connect to the hose easily and will probably soon cross-thread. I still have to tip the mower and hose it off. 5. The engine is sensitive to any water above the deck. I don't know how you clean that area easily. 6. So far the motor starts on the first pull unless it is even slightly wet. 7. I doubt based on the compatitive quality if this mower will go 600 miles.
