I needed a mower to replace an aging, heavy, rotary, wheeled, 53cm-cut, beast that was rusting away. But, I don't like spending money so much researching was done. Couldn't afford a Honda (it would probably last longer than I will).
Found this at about £100 less than the local retailer (how will they survive?) and it's all (almost) I need. While it's a much narrower cut, it's no problem - and the grass box, in comparison, is huge. Assembly was a bit of a fiddle as the grass deflector had become detached and the rather poor manual doesn't show how to re-fit it.
Height adjustment works well and the roller produces an impressive striped effect.
Why only 4 stars? Two niggly reasons - one is that it's a one-speed machine and my old one enabled me to change the revs, so I'm feeling deprived; secondly, the manual is pretty basic. For example, the mower has a hose attachment for cleaning (hope this will minimise risk of hidden rust) but no guidance on how to use. In case you don't know McCulloch is owned by Husqvarna group and they filled in the gaps.
All-in-all a mower to recommend - at a good price and delivered promptly.
