Is this a single forward speed mower, or is there multi-speed selections?

One speed. Squeezed or not. It is fast cutting on sidewalk but nearly stopped on grass, even cut grass.

I am afraid that don't know as it's at our Colorado facility but our Manager is very pleased with the equipment. He uses it daily at Crested Butte CO for the tremendous recent snow fall.

Single speed...has lots of power so that's probably not a good thing to have a higher speed. I had to cut some very tall grass and it didnt have any issues.

Hey John, yes it does have varying speeds, however the way in which you adjust the speed is with an adjustable nut located on the cable that goes into the AWD box at the top of the push handle (you can see this on the picture, it's a chrome nut at the end of the cable). You can tighten this with your finger and it will increase the tension when engaging the self propel. When tightened as much as you can get it I would say it has top end speed of 5-6mph while still cutting efficiently. With the 190cc's this thing is a tank. I have 2 acres and big hill and this thing gets the job done without problem. Hope this helps.

By design you are supposed to be able to regulate speed by how far in you pull the handles, in reality its one speed, its either moving or not. No amount of adjustment has fixed this and there is no independent speed control.

It's multiple speeds. It has a throttle of the handle. The harder you squeeze the faster it would go, let off a little and it slows down. Hope this helps.

It's a 4 wheel drive multi-speed. And by multi-speed, I mean the more you hold the handle in, the faster it goes. I use this mower up and down a hill and it's been fantastic!

John, it is a variable speed mower. It's pretty impressive in terms of top speed and the all wheel drive works well on slopes and uneven surfaces. Hope this helps.

No - single speed only. My recommendation - consider the Bosch 12V system. Battery like is much better. I had problems with the Craftsman batteries. They quit taking a charge after only 6 months. Sears will replace but that's a hassle.

Not that I am aware of. I believe it's just one speed, but the whirlpool isn't very strong (you can see how fast it is if you put an ice cube in it). It mostly just keeps the water moving. The motor is removable though, so you can take it out if you'd like.

There are 6 different speeds, from very low to pretty fast. This is a sweet little sander. I have always likes Bosch tools. Though I haven't used it much, I can see that I am going to enjoy how much lighter it is than my big Porter Cable random orbits. I can use a little help after woodworking for 43 years full time!! Hope this helps! :)

No it is not, I wouldn't want a self-propelled if that is what you are looking for most even the best ones tend to break then you are pushing 20 extra pounds around the yard And this is a very good mower for the money I like it a lot

Yes, it's a very versatile mower. It comes with the attachments for mulch, bag, or discharge. They are very quick to attach, to go from mulch to discharge literally takes about 5 seconds.

One speed. Don't let that deter you from this tool. After two years of using it I've found no need yet to have variable speed. I use it to cut screws, grind welds and with an added disk, sand wood VERY aggressively.

It cuts in both directions, Jay, although it's designed to cut going forward. The result is a better cut going forward. What I like about this type of mower is that when your get to the stubborn spots, you can stop walking and push back and forth until it's all cut. This tool is great for small laws or grassy patches between flower beds and vegetable gardens.

Mower has a "dead man's" throttle. I.E. it's only on as long as a lever is held down (on the handle that you push to mow the grass). It is turned on by simultaneously holding this lever down and pushing a separate start button . Don't buy. Lousy user unfriendly Design.

It has one speed. Just turn it on and go. For my dogs, it works great. Especially the hairy shitz zhu ( whatever the spelling is).

it is a one lever system, very easy and not like other mowers. simplest i have seen.

It has two blades. I haven't yet needed to change them so can't help with the second question. Sorry

Yes. The mower is actually very fast, but because the mower weight is light, there is a tendency for the front end to pop up when going fast up or down.

It is full variable speed in each of the two speed levels. The switch on top of the unit just allows you to pick a slower or faster range of speeds.
1331557
I really don't know.It has 3 speeds.Not sure this type of small motor is classified that way.
187887
No. Single speed. Best use is for cutting pipe, all thread, and items used by electricians, plumbers.

Yes it is variable speed. There is a dial on the tool that allows you to choose between 1-6, I believe. (l don't have it in front of me) If memory serves, I believe the dial is on the handle near the cord outlet of the tool.
