does this mower have an actual blade or is it weed eater string?

It has a blade on it. I bought the mulching blade for mine though so that it does not blow the grass all over the yard and look ugly though. You can get a bagger for the back to pick up leaves and the cut grass clippings which requires some high lift blades included in that package too if cleanliness is a concern.It does not have a string though... just one 26" blade in the middle inside a mower deck with several options for the kind of blade you use.

It has a regular blade, I have never had any trouble with tipping and have a rather bumpy lot. I love the small size but only compaint is that I got 2 flat tires this summer and they no longer make the 10 inch tire for the front so I had to buy to 11's.

It has a blade. But I must impresse upon you the constant headache this mower is. I have a degree in mechanical engineering and keeping this little mower goin was too much for me. I have a fairly flat and level yard and the transmission just isn't built to last. This is a disposable mower. Good luck.

Please under no circumstances should you buy this mower. It does have a blade and when we bought ours we had it a couple of months and had to contact Amazon about it. No one will fix what ever is broken on it because the company does not pay their contractors who do the warranty work. We ended up getting all of our money back from Amazon. God bless those folks. We in turn purchased another riding lawnmower from Sears. You need to read all the other comments..........if you buy this be it on your head.........you were warned!

Yes, it's a typical steel mower blade. Just the name 'implies' it to be a 'weedeater' string type thing. This mower is fine if you have a pool table type yard. Steep hills and rough terrain will kill it.

Its a blade. Please reconsider buying this mower. I've had 3. Within 2 years. Constant issues. The junkiest item I've evr bought in my life. It eats up transmissions,creeps forward,safety switches give out. The tires are paper thin. Ive ripped the sidewalls out on both front tires and replaced the tubes inside twice. The steering knuckle strips. My brakes won't work now. It ought to be against the law to sell these. They are that bad. No joke. You have been warned.

No, when I purchased it, it said a blade attachment could be used, however on the box it said not to use with a blade. I'm confused too. It is a very good weed eater, good balance and lots of power, and smooth. If you want to use a blade you would have to buy the attachment, and check with manufacture to see if it can handle one.

Aww man you're gonna make me have to go see cuz I honestly can't remember. I hope you appreciate this and you owe me a beer....... Ok, it will roll backwards but the blades do not. It is however a fairly heavy bugger and I expect, with proper maintenance, to get a lifetime of usage out of it. I bought it mainly as a backup for my power mower. It does not, however, cut weeds for nothing and I don't know why. I believe because the weeds are so flexible they slide right through. But in a way that's a good thing as then you can spot the little bastids and kill them.

Yes, I purchased a replacement blade also. I've had to remove the cover a few times to remove stringy fresh hedge clippings and it's real straight forward. Looks like a small lawn mower blade.

Mulching blades are used with the outlet from the deck sealed off; they feature low lifting design and a variable surface blade edge, often a "hump" in-between the hub and the primary cutting surface at the end is a common feature. If that photo represents the blade you are purchasing it does appear to be a mulching blade, the odd shaped leading edge and clipped blade tips make be believe it is a true mulching blade.

I don't know, but I know that it sucks. Blade broke twice, the first time after a few months and then the second after three uses. Not a great item.

The blades are not sharp like knife blades, but are sharp enough to cut. One blade has multiple points like a sunburst that spins and is flat. The other blade is sort of triangular and is stationary. The edger cuts the grass with a by-pass action.

It just uses a 21" mulching blade. You can find the part here http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=husqvarna&mn=7021+P+-+96133001901+%282013-09%29&dn=7560_0001

Not sure if it is the same, but I have a tall grass with almost a bamboo like stalk. It will cut the grass, but will eat away the 1.55 mm trimmer line very quickly. I just chop down with machete first.

i think it's a newer model w/a slightly shorter blade. i also went to their site f/comparison before purchasing. either way, you cannot to wrong w/these shears. it's battery lasts forever as you don't have to recharge often. cleanup is easy & if you purchase the extension arm, edging is a breeze. this is the best shears i've purchased.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41XS710T20L._SX450_.jpg Looks like this one ... they call it a grass blade but it cuts black berry bushes and small tough tree limbs like an inch thick .If you are just cutting grass, stick with a line cutter as this solid steel one would be over kill .

If I remember correctly I believe it came with a brush cutting blade, how ever I'm not sure this thing really has the power to be very affective in large brush. It's been great grass trimmer and edging, that's what my gardener uses it for, but I'd get something with more power for brush cutting or dual purpose. Maybe even look into Stihl products for that. But it's been a great unit so far.

It is like the blade on scissors. Not a saw blade. I use it on hedges, rose bushes, bougainvilla, wisteria, crepe myrtle. Have cut day lillies back with it.

Metal. Almost the entire mower is metal except the wheels/tires and rubber rollers at the rear of the mower. It is very well made. This is my second American Lawn mower. The first one lasted about 12 years.

It does come with a mulching blade. And when mulching, I haven't really noticed the clippings on the ground, but it does struggle in some of my thicker grassy areas of my yard and have to hold it up an let it spit out the grass, and have had to stop it once to clear out the grass (but it was a little moist that day I mowed, so I wouldn't blame the mower for that). Long story short, it does mulch ok, but not nearly as well as my Honda did, but they have the 2 blade mulching system that is amazing. But I would give it a 3.5 of of 5 on mulching

It has a feature where when you stop the weed wacker, it automatically lets out the correct amount of string needed. I bought mine last summer and I'm still ok for string (although I plan to buy a refil soon).

I'm sorry that I do not know because I have a Troy-Bilt and am not familiar with the Lawn Boy set up. Wish I had a good picture of blade and adapters for all the people.
