PowerSmart 21-Inch Gas Push Lawn Mower with 144cc 4-Cycle OHV Engine, 2-in-1 with Mulch and Side-Discharge, 6-Position Adjustable Cutting Height (DV8621C)

the mower came on time. put oil in it & gas started on the 2nd pull . Seems to be a good mower for the price. hope it will last

Of note:I chose the 144-cc engine over the Briggs and Stratton version, because I wanted more power for mulching. I would have preferred using the Briggs and Stratton engine, since that's all I've ever owned, but the power was not as high as the other option. So far, this has been the right choice. It remains to be seen over the years if it will last as long as a B&S.What I Liked:I've used this mower now for 4 mowings of my lawn. It has performed well and I'm quite satisfied. It was very easy to put together and the instructions were clear. It feel light, starts easily, and the engine is not nearly as loud as my previous mower. It mulches well and I very much like the one lever that adjusts the mowing height on all four wheels at once!What I didn't Like:Like many mowers of its kind, you have to prime the engine prior to starting it. The primer "button/bulb" is made of a stiff, rubber-like material. Because of its stiffness, you have to push it very quickly to get any gas flowing into the carburetor. You can feel it when it's working (and when it's not). So priming the engine takes about 5 or 6 pushes to get enough gas in there to start the engine easily. Hopefully, this button will soften up over time and priming will be easier. This is a minor annoyance and not a real problem.Unlike many mowers of its kind, this mower has a rubber "skirt" fastened to the back of the deck. I imagine this exists to protect you from flying debris should you run over something that could potentially fly out the back. A nice idea, but poorly designed. This flap tends to slide under the mower when you pull it back toward you. Mine got under there AND detached from one side of the deck and then got caught in the blade, which promptly chewed it up. So no more "skirt" for me (see photos). But - I really don't care, because none of my other mowers have ever had such a thing and I highly doubt anything will ever hit me flying out the back. If it does, I'll come back here and let you know. This cost them one star on this review.The bottom line:This is a quality mower at a good price. It works well, except for the rubber "skirt", and is a good replacement for my previous mower. I recommend!

Bought for my nephew He says it’s fantastic!!♥️♥️♥️

I thought it was a good deal because it was $150 less than the cheapest Craftsman at Lowes. The second time I used it the back flap, which was cheap rubber, tore off and now I get hit by things flying out the back. It does not really mulch very well. There is always a trail of grass. Not a Briggs and Stratton engine, so not very powerful which is part of the problem. The plate covering the side discharge constantly comes off. Also, uses much more gas than similar mowers I have had. In the end, the more expensive Craftsman would have been a better deal.

It was delivered fast and was easy to put together. And it works wonderfully

The size of it.

Mower is light and easy to push. No tool height adjustment. Only draw back solid plastic wheels will wear out quick. Initial start was on second pull.

Does what it's supposed to do. Only downfall are that the attachable items, the flap in the back and the side shoot, seem to be cheaply made or poorly connected. Both of them fell off after my 1st use. The flap in the back can't be reattached as the little hooks that were used to attach it to the lawnmower broke off. The flap kept going under the lawnmower when I would go back or try to turn the lawnmower around. Lawnmower still cut pretty well though.
