Hyundai 196cc Petrol Lawnmower, 20" 51cm 4 Stroke, Self Propelled Petrol Mower, Easy Starting with Six Cutting Heights, 70L Grass Bag & 3 Year Warranty

This is my first petrol self-powered mower so I can't compare it to any previous mowers of this type. However, being a bit of product-geek and doing extensive research before buying any product, I have to say that this is one of the those products that actually lives up to it's billing as a quality piece of kit.From delivery direct from the manufacturer (ordered via Amazon), to it's packaging, instructions and assembly this is awesome.It got it's first run out today, collecting around 250 litres of grass. It's maneuverability, settings, cutting, collecting and efficiency arevbrilliant.It is important to mention that it is very heavy and I needed to move it across patches if gravel which wasn't a problem but wasn't easy. If you have to do something similar and have mobility problems it would be best to bear this mind. Uneven ground, hills and around trees, however were absolutely no problem due to the easy-to-control motor.We have about 0.3 of an acre over three very different (in size, design and nature) stretches of grass surrounding our home and chose this over a "ride-on" mower. I definitely made the right choice as it is more versatile, maneuverable and easier to maintain. Oh, and way cheaper!! Does the job impressively.

Easy to start and maintain. Cut through the first season thick grass well on high cut, mulch works well, the side shoot can clog If grass is wet but works well on dryer shorter grass. Easy to handle and move around the garden. Easy to clean with no areas in the cutting area where grass can get stuck behind causing the deck and drive gear to rot. I like it, good value for money for my large garden.

Have used this for a couple of months now....its more maneuverable than my old smaller mower, feels smoother and quieter. Absolutely LOVE the mulching function. You literally don't have any grass to throw away and as long as you cut every week, you don't get any signs on the ground that the grass is all put back into the ground. And my lawn is fed weekly, automatically! Brilliant. Only 3 gripes/improvements:1. The instructions don't make clear how much oil you need to put in at all. It has a dipstick, and I used this to check the level but as anyone knows - dipsticks are NOT accurate. Also, thankfully the second time I used the mower, I checked the level and it had gone to zero although last time it was full, I had to put more oil in, and same thing happened next time.... anyway, I have ended up putting in the whole bottle supplied. If the instructions had just stated that ...I would have poured in the whole 600ml bottle supplied my life would have been better and SAFER.2. the small holder for the recoil cable can end up pointing the wrong way (this would snag/break the recoil cable). It took a lot of effort from me to ensure the hole is parallel to the bars, and for a consumer product - this ought to be simpler3. Attaching the handle cables is not that hard but also not at all straightforward. I could imagine lots of people getting it wrong which would cause major issues.None of the above mentioned are issues for mechanics, specialists or engineering brains like me, but it would be an issue for the average consumer...and an error in any of them could have major consequences - that render the mower junk. I can see one reviewer who broke the recoil chord, there are others whose only worked once - can probably be attributed to the above points. So if you are buying this mower - please do. It is excellent, but be careful with the points above.If you are the Hyundai seller of this mower, then please get a novice to set this up with the instructions, from boxed, and then you might be able to add in some information to the box to ensure there are fewer problems.

First impressions - this is a very well designed mower which performs much better than my previous mower from a well known lawn-care brand.The mower arrived very well packaged with a bottle of oil included. Assembly was simple and amounted to nothing more than the handle, cables and grass box, which was completed in minutes without the need for any tools. No complaints about build quality either.The engine runs smoothly and relatively quietly for a big mower. The mower was very easy to use and cut the lawns beautifully.The best bit for me was the performance of the grass box. It collected every little blade of cut grass which is something my previous mower was poor at. The large box meant far fewer emptyings and the great little box-full indicator worked perfectly meaning I didn't have to keep stopping to check if the box was full.I loved the hose connection to wash the underneath of the deck which took about 10 seconds.My only small gripe is that the owners manual could be better. It doesn't read in any sort of chronological order with the assembly instructions coming half-way through and no mention of the hose-wash feature or how to use it. At the end of assembly I was left with two plastic lugs which again had not been mentioned. I think they are to put in place to hold the rear flap slightly open when using the rear-discharge option but still not sure.However I'm not going to let the owners manual detract from what is a well designed and great performing mower, hence the 5 star rating.I decided not to pay extra for the push-button start, which is no problem for me as the engine starts effortlessly first pull, making this a great mower for a bargain price. Highly recommended.
