Basically what a stellar performer! Powered thru well, the hooded catcher flap allows slashing without hooking it up, but in the heavy bits, lifting it all the way results in a rooster tail of grass, the size of which I’ve never seen from a push mower.
Top speed is quicker than the old Honda, so it covers ground really quickly, and strangely, it cuts the heavy stuff better at a higher speed rather than a low speed.

Brilliant!
How are you faring with the overall weight of the machine? That's probably the byproduct of it being so stoutly built and need a fair bit of manhandling in tighter areas.
I also wish they had a longer starter rope on the Honda engine as this would permit the use of a zone-starter on the handle. I tried fitting a second hand one on mine, but the rope was not long enough to start the engine properly.
