The mower is easy to operate, even with one hand, and shows a really good result. The assembly is very simple, only the catcher has to be plugged together, the rest is not worth mentioning. The height adjustment is very solid fitted with a lever, which also does not slip, If something goes into the bushes or into the ground. The volume of the mower, I feel normal, a slight whistling, as described in other comments, though you can hear perfectly, but my feeling after not annoying, you hats after a short time forgotten or no longer respects it. Wen`s then it disturbs, which should set the mower rather the set age, then the perception of high whistle has done biologically. Similarly, the finding that some "cheap plastic", was especially used in the pot I can not confirm. Of course, everything is made of plastic, the white one. For me, the mower has a quite high value, especially the ease of use, simple Bedienbarkleit and very good cutting results give a clear recommendation for the purchase of this mower.
