Strengths The rewind feature is awesome. Just let go of the handel and it stops, pull it again to start the mower. Convience of electric start without the cost or battery mess.

Weaknesses The bolts that hold the large tires are stripping and do not hold the wheels properly. They are very wobbely. I can fix it, just feeling kinda lazy now.

Overall Great mower, I've been pleased. Would consider one of the heavier cub cadets if they had the rewind starter.
