This mower starts even easier than the John Deere that it replaced.(And we that that was a great mower)
Love the self adjusting speed. Our last mower was a rear-wheel drive. This mower is easier to control and doesn't "take off" if you slip or press down on the handle.

After almost 20 years of owning a John Deere that I didn't like but absolutely refused to break or wear out, I had narrowed my choices down to the Honda or the Lawn Boy Platinum series. I really liked the idea of the Sens-A-Speed self propel and it had the Honda engine and besides I like green. I love it. Being retired and enjoying keeping a lawn looking good I appreciate the clean even cut I get with the Lawn Boy. So far I've used it about 6 times and am very pleased with the job it does. The best part is the Sens-A-Speed's operation. It couldn't be easier, almost fun to use. All controls are easy to use and seem to be robust. Time will tell how well this mower holds up but the full 5 year warrantee is as good as any I've seen. The down side seems to be in the details. Although the shipping container was unscathed there were several scratches on the handle, obviously from the factory, and the large Lawn Boy Platinum Series decal was on crooked and only partially attached. I was able to remove it and reapply it as it should have been done in the first place. Just a quality control issue that shouldn't be on a [$]lawn mower. The other issue was the wonderfully easy to start Honda engine didn't want to start! This turned out to be a simple matter of adjusting the throttle cable. As it came from the factory the choke wasn't activated when the throttle was in the choke position. After readjusting the cable the engine runs fine. All in all, I'm extremely pleased with this mower and actually look forward to using it.
