Those of us who already knew that manual lawnmowers have certain tremendous advantages over powered lawnmowers will find that this product is very flimsy and not at all in line with Qualcast's reputation. Mine broke irreparably within seconds.
Fortunately, the Amazon Marketplace vendor had it collected and gave a full refund very promptly. Unfortunately, I cannot give a no-star rating.

I have gone back to this manual after a lot of breakdowns with electrics. Why I didn't stick with manuals I can't imagine although this is much better than a previous one I had which was not a Qualcast. It cuts better than my 3 previous different types of electric mowers. It goes further into the edges - okay some bits of grass escape the box but this does no harm at all. We had no trouble at all in assembling the handle and the grass box has never come off. It is light and easy to use and I am very satisfied with it.

I was suprised how well this mower works. It gives a very short clean cut and is less cumbersome than an electric mower.
The grass box does have a tendancy to fall off if the screws attaching the mounting come loose. The best thing to do is to glue all the screws closed.
My only complaint is that my mower came 2 nuts short, not a major problem but still i had to spend 20 mins looking round my garage for some suitable nuts and bolts.

I purchased this mower to replace a hover mower which went up in smoke after 10 cuts, although I was offered a repair I opted to go for the traditional method of grass cutting and have no regrets the cut is better and it has far more options of height adjustments than the previously owned product, very easy to operate, the trick of getting the grass always on the box is to keep going forward, the grass that misses the box will be picked up by the mower and the rear cylinder as you move it forward, it does take time to get used to but it is quite handy.

No trailing wires ,light to push,easy to use, its a great little machine. I can even cut my elderly neighbours lawn without having to bother them and it gives me exercise. I wonder why Ive stuck with my old electric one for so long.
