One of the reviews says that you can't back up the mower. Is this true.

You can back it up no problem, but it's not a powered reverse. It's easy to handle, a great mower

When i first used my mower I found that the bag filled up so quickly it was difficult to make any progress in cutting the lawn. I took the bag off and the "flapper" came down as not to throw the grass out. If this flapper isn't staying closed, this might be your problem.? I don't use the bag and it sometimes clogs up the blades with all the mulch., it doesn't throw it out only chews and chews. I hope this helps. bassman

I have had this mower for a little over a year and have not had any problems with the drive. I love it, especially since it starts on first try. Since some buyers have had a problem, there may have been a few bad apples.

you will have to take it apart. The big resolution is to keep the cord over your shoulder and do short verticle runs instead of the lawn mower run.

I'm sorry I can't help with that. I returned my Toro 3 weeks after buying it. There was a safety hazard, in my opinion. The grass bag kept falling off while I was mowing and I would slam my shins into it.

In a word, No. Since the mower is light, it is very easy to maneuver and get into tight spots that my lawn tractor cannot.

No. The mower is partially assembled. You have to assemble the handle bars, and that's it.

I am on my second unit now, but only due to moving. I used the original mower in Texas for two seasons, and it didn't make much sense to pack it in our small U-Haul. I liked it so much I bought another one, but only have one mow on it so far. It's really a great little mower, and I was REALLY tired of maintaining so many internal combustion engines around the house.

No, this mower is not capable of side discharge. It will only bag or mulch.

As a P.S. to the answer about the side discharge chute, this lawnmower is fantastic. My husband has back pain and wasn't able to use a regular mower any longer. With this one, he does the whole yard pain-free. The self-propel feature is outstanding!

We had our Earthwise mower for several years and often left it plugged in for days between mowings. The battery gave out after three years and we replaced it. I think the trick is draining it completely before putting it on charge--and our yard is just big enough to drain it completely.The battery wasn't the problem ...but in the five years since our purchase the mower itself has fallen apart. Last week when the wheel unaccountably started rubbing the body and impeding movement, we had had enough. Our Earthwise went to the dump and we bought a gas mower. Makes me sad.

The connectors are poorly engineered crap. The best way to get around it is to lift the battery out of the housing and use the 3 prong plug that you should have gotten with the mower. It's a PITA. If they were really so environmentally friendly they'd have used Lithium Ion batteries and included a "smart" charger. Speaking of chargers, the one supplied will cook your battery if left on too long. Check to see if that's the case (Don't ask me how I know). I started using a timer in between the outlet and charger.

No , I ran into a problem after running my mower for a while it would die . So I would first check the fuel level then it would start back up , after doing this a few times I realized I would hear a wush if air leak in , the fix is easy , just drill a real small hole in the lens to let air in , problem is solved , hope this helps

I think that might be very difficult. I was surprised at how hard you need to push to keep it going forward. It is nothing like our gas mower. Also, everytime a stick gets in it, you have to stop, turn it over, and remove it. We bought it so our son with Autism could mow more safely and frankly I don't think he will be able to use it. I was exhausted after mowing a relatively small area.

Good questions! I chose to NOT get the extended warrantee and to be honest I did not read the manufacture's warrentee. We have a tiny yard so it does not get much work. Sorry, guess I can't answer your questions. I love the mower and have had no trouble with it!

I agree with the first sentence written by Marc but what is hard to visualize is what the back side of the Brinly looks like and how it is attached to the mower deck. If you will send me an email with your email address on it I will send you some pictures that I just took, they should clear up alot of your questions. I really like my Brinly- my only problem is the sandy soil that I have. I pick up the sand and dirt and blow it out the back causing a big cloud as I drive around.
