Scotts Outdoor Power Tools 50620S 20-Inch Steel Deck 12-Amp Corded Electric Lawn Mower, Black

Not the American made quality I grew up with. The front wheels are splayed outward so not quite as maneuverable as it should be.

Had this since May, now wheels are falling off. Scott's should be ashamed of this pathetic POS. I can fix myself but I paid a price that should have included a working mower. Over 30 day window for return so guess I'm screwed regarding any worthy compensation. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this company. I could have rented a used mower in better condition.I will never purchase another item with the dreaded Scott's logo.

I'm a 5 foot 3 in woman. This takes some effort for me to push. I am new to mowing and am pleased at the gas free option. It is powerful enough to take down high grass. On my 3rd mow the right front wheel fell off! I was able to get it back on after I miraculously found the missing parts. I only wish it were lighter. Otherwise all in all a very decent mower!

The first time I used this mower one of the little plastic hubcaps fell off a front wheel: No big deal. The second time I used it, an entire back wheel fell off. When I reassembled it I found that the supposed self-locking nut on the wheel wasn't locking (bad nut). As I looked at the wheel assemblies some more, there were several oddnesses: The washers that served as spacers were oddly placed, and one of the wheels seemed to be missing the thick, smaller-diameter spacer that separated each wheel from the base of the axle. When I took that wheel apart (the one same one whose hubcap fell off on first use) I found that the hub insert was broken and had been shoved down into the wheel: Perhaps shipping damage, but the box was in good shape, so I don't think so. I also found that with the spacers that had been pre-installed, some of the retaining nuts could be tightened clear down to the end of the threads on the axles, and some had to be backed off to allow the wheel to turn.So, I disassembled all the wheels, distributed the spacers more logically, left off a spacer or two where needed to fully tighten the retaining nut, reseated the broken hub insert (now protected somewhat by a more logically located spacer washer), and acquired a new locknut to replace the defective one.I don't think that these wheels were assembled per design, and I suspect that the broken one may have resulted from careless assembly. So, what else may be incorrectly assembled? God only knows--I can't tear down the whole mower and make sure all is in order. I expected to be able to trust Scotts.

Took 5 min to assemble. Nice and light, but did still have to deal with the cord. Best of all, I had 3 ft pigweed taking over, and with just a little care, this sucker chewed right through it... Cleanly too, considering. Happy after the first use.

First off, it's heavy. But I knew that from the description. What I didn't realize was how much harder I have to work to push it once it's running, even on my nearly flat lawn. Add to that, I found I had to go over the lawn at least twice to get the grass blades cut. No matter what level I set it at, or how slowly I mowed, there would be grass pushed around but not cut. I suspected a dull blade, and I was right. I changed the blade and now it's better but strangely still leaving some uncut grass. But why would I be sent a mower with such a dull blade? And by the way, changing a mower blade required the purchase of tools I didn't have: Special wrench and special socket, on top of the cost of the blade.Another thing: Though overall the mower seems very sturdy, there are design issues which allow grass to build up and spew out, requiring you to spend additional time cleaning out the mower. Plus, I've never had a mower that throws out so much loose grass (and whatever you are going over)! Super 'leaky' design! Protective eyewear is probably always a good idea when mowing but with this machine, it's absolutely essential.

inexpensive and no maintenance

I bought this mower in early summer and should have returned it as soon as the wheels started coming off every time I mowed the lawn. I have finally had it. I bought this mower because of the Scotts name brand and thought it would be a good mower. The biggest complaint is having to fix the wheels on a regular basis. It is not just one wheel that comes loose and falls off, they all take turns. The other complaint I have and I probably would not have listed this issues abeit for the wheel issue. The blade does not cut the grass very well. I have to adjust it to the lowest setting in order to get a good cut. I do not recommend this mower. I realize that it is too late to return it and I'll have to deal with it but I would never buy this brand again.
