PowerSmart 170 CC 21″ self propelled lawn mower very poor performance. With self propelled engaged you have a difficult time keeping up with it. Its to fast and there is only one speed. Think twice about purchasing this mower unless you have roller skates to use while you mow.
Not hard to keep up with mine.Self propelled broke in 2 hours use.No one talks about the other flaws in the mower.Oil leaks—-Engine bolts not secure–Wrong amount of oil enclosed with the new mower(13.5 oz bottle enclosed and you need 16.9 oz to fill) and with the short amount of oil and no warning in the lawnmower pre-start preparation directions without the oil leakage and need for extra lubrication during first 5 hour break in period you never have a chance’Also,when you call the company and tell them about your problem they tell you it was packaged in China and they know.This was on a recorded phone call with them.My only question was why Homedepo sold them.I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS IS THE REASON THEY WOULD CHANGE THERE 90 day return policy to 30 days now effective in the last 30 days.
