because of ease of use, from the very beginning started this lawnmower bad. One can 10- 20 times pull the starter cord until it finally starts. He was then used throughout the season from late summer 2012 in 2013, and now (2014), he did not start despite oil and spark plug replacement. Last year, the front wheels are already energized, the threads have dissolved into thin air, here I had to improvise with new bolts. A real Blender, poorly finished - no purchase recommendation !!!!
