After handlebar is folded down, is there an easy way to carry this lawnmower? (I will have to carry it down some steps to store in basement) Thanks!

Not really. I'm a 5'6" male and I have a hard time picking it up and carrying it when it is folded.

certainly not the easiest to carry alone as it is quite large and awkward. holding by the deck front and rear is best, but wear gloves as the deck may dig into your hands.

Pull as you go. I usually plug it in and begin to mow away from the cord, and drag the cord out and AWAY from the outlet. It's just like vaccuuming with a cord. If you run over the cord (which I did years ago with another mower), it's over. I also bought a bright orange cord to see it easier. I whip maneuver works to get it out of the way sometimes. I also cut my lawn at a 45 degree angle pattern, which gave me a central corridor to flip sides. Mow in rows left to right and not spiral, and that will help a LOT. See the pattern on this site: http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/improvement/lawn-garden/how-to-mow-a-lawn-patterns

Hi, I just held the bag in position against the swing arm of my motorcycle, and made tiny holes in the bag where the straps would go. It was very easy. The bag is great and has been out in all weathers. I'm delighted with it.

Once you get used to it, this is an easy fold. The handle has to be removed and the wheels have to be removed to fold it.

1. Remove handle by pressing catch buttons and lifting it out. 2. Facing as if you are pushing it, inside in the back upper right corner, the top crossbar is retained with a cotter pin that pulls out. 3. With the pin removed, the cross bar folds down to the left. 4. Fold one side down, then the other. Remove the wheels if you want. That's it.

No problem. The best thing is that you can just release the bag from the part that stays attached to the bike and just carry the bag around. It takes a couple seconds to release and to just click back in.

I haul my mower up and down flagstone steps and across a brick path -- with little difficulty -- every time I mow. I should note that I am not very large and not very young. Hope that answers your question.

Are you lifting the rear or the front? Im using it on a Gravely 52" HD mower and it has no problem lifting the front. You can always cal MoJack. Thats what I did.

Herb: Love the mower but compared to my previous 17 inch one, this one is a monster (size) and the way it is built, is awkward to both store in my garage, and awkward to use in confined spaces where you have to make tight turns.Can't imagine even how I could lift it to hang it on the wall.

I have several wide steps to go up and down from the porch to the sidewalk. I can lift it enough to do that. It may help that the steps are wide. (I'm 66). I really love the lightness of the mower.

I don't store it - it's set up in my living room in a corner where I can jump on and off of it throughout the day. You can take it back apart, but I sure wouldn't want to do that too often. It really doesn't take up a lot of room and you could just remove the handle bar and store it under a bed easily. The bar just slips onto the front legs and can be removed if you don't want to use it.

Yes it is as easy to fold as a lawn chair. Not a problem to fold or unfold!

Anyone resolved the issue with the height adjustment? I have the same problem -- the mower does not raise/lower when the handle is squeezed...

Since it's so light, I had no trouble at all. I could actually use it with one hand pulling it up. Of course if you're walking diagonally, the handle, if too much pressure is applied, will turn and if too much grass builds up on it, the mower deck might slip off, but is easily put back on. Keep in mind this is a string trimmer with a small mower deck, not an actual blade mower.

I would not recommend hanging this mower on a wall. The body is not reinforced enough to take the stress of its own weight. We fold ours down and slide it under our shelving system. Just watch out for the bolts coming loose when you fold the handle down.

My husband moves it around each time he mows. I have moved it as well. It's a little cumbersome for me. I just try and pick up a side and scoot it.

Thanks for the info ... Im afraid to contract B&D; as I know they will tell me to bring it in . Fat chance !Its at the optimal height for me now anyway (5? or 3 from top level I believe?) so I might just suck it up and keep this one rather than paying to bring it in or get a replacement. LOVE the mower though and my lone fear of worrying it wouldnt complete my lawn on 1 charge was proven to be not worth worrying about !
