    @cristian240sx Před 3 lety +3

    I have this mower. I think its ugly AF, but it works well at a really cheap price. My yard is 1500 sq. ft. and I run it bagless (bag fills up real fast) and just leave the clippings on the ground. It takes a little less than an hour to mow the whole yard. I have had it for a season and a half with no real complaints. I am not gentle with it, so there is no telling how long it will last.

    • @Jay_Rule
      @Jay_Rule  Před 3 lety

      I just used mine yesterday and it works fine and starts up so easily compared to gas mowers where you have to check on the oil and gas levels. Pro Tip: make sure the grass is completely dry before mowing or you will have to tip it over to remove the wet grass because it will stop the blade. Why do you care how a lawn mower looks lol

  • @HedelTorres
    @HedelTorres Před 3 lety +1

    Mine stops working immediately. Is there a safety in the blade I need to remove?

    • @Jay_Rule
      @Jay_Rule  Před 3 lety

      Is your grass wet when you mow. Wet grass will force the blade to stop. You have to flip it over and manually remove the grass.

    Cannot get the lower handle into position - holes too tight, and don't want to break anything. Why did you cut that part of the video out? Did you have issues with that as well, and how did you get the lower handle in far enough to align with the screws? If I can't rectify this, I'm returning it. Thank you.

    • @Jay_Rule

    • @Natalies1111
      @Natalies1111 Před 6 lety

      Sorry - not making it clear. It's the assembly I'm talking about - the LOWER HANDLE won't go into the holes far enough to align the screws to put the thing together in the first place. That part of your video cut out you putting the lower handle into the base before you screwed it into place.

    • @Jay_Rule
      @Jay_Rule  Před 6 lety

      You may have to loosen the screw and make sure they all go into before tightening.

      Geez, thanks Jay - I wouldn't have thought of that. If only I could fit the part in far enough to even attempt the screws. Too bad the width of the handle ends don't even line up with the holes in the base.. RETURNING THE POOR QUALITY PRODUCT.
