I was in the market for a new mower and researched some online before deciding on this one. I have a small yard and thought this one would be perfect for it. I almost went with the model under this one but decided agaisnt it after the salesman told me this one has a better engine and more power to it. Plus it was only $20 more to get it. It took only a minute to assemble and came with oil in the box. All I needed was fresh gas to get it going. It has started perfectly the first few times I have used it and I have no regrets about my purchase. I decided to purchase the protection plan for only $39.99 more because the warranty only covers defects and not wear and tear. The salesman explained to me that using it once will pay for itself and that I also get a discount on noncovered parts. I don't know if I will need it but it is better to be safe than sorry.
