I like my push powered lawn mower for 3 reasons:1. I get to walk around and can hear the birds, wind, etc..., while giving it a good trim, and leaving nonclumpy clippings.2. No gasoline smell, nor gasoline consumption for cutting lawn(I really want to use my money for something other than cutting giant pieces of land only for looks and community regulations.)3. I understand pretty much everything on the machine, as it is really simple and durable. Quality joints and parts- US made.Two Dislikes:1. Any hard object about the size of a finger can stop man and machine immediately.2. I'm not in good enough shape to cover my entire backyard, as my mower takes more effort on my part. I usually pass by a patch of lawn twice to make sure I get the lengths even.
