Would recommend
This was an upgrade from our previous mower. The difference with the mulching capability is the ability to keep going without stopping to unclog the bagger is the biggest win for us. It cut our lawn mowing time in half. Another positive is the self drive mechanism- this can go fairly good speed while mowing. The only con is the design of the mower handle. There’s a sliding mechanism to adjust speed and there’s a standard metal bar - the faster you go the closer you are to the bar. I’m smaller so it’s not a big deal for me. Someone larger may have trouble with this feature and bump into the handle frequently.

Great mower.
I bought the mower to replace my 25 year old mower the finally died. The assembly of the mower was minimum out of the box. I am a tall person and the handle height was perfect for me. My grass was higher than I normally keep it since I was looking for a replacement. I had no problems with the grass height, just had to empty the bag frequently, which I would expect. The only issue I had was the right front wheel would not adjust past 1 3/4 inches. I had to machine the wheel bolt to make it slide past the frame bracket. Attached are the pictures where the bracket was stopping the adjustment height and the end of the wheel bolt that I had to machine shorter.
