What is the height of the push handle? Can it be adjusted? I'm 6'6" and have to push my current mower from just above my hips which is a real pain.

It can be adjusted to a point. But you cannot lock it into place. You basically lift it up and push it at whatever height you desire.

It cant be adjusted. Im 5'10" and it comes up just over my waste. Its about right for me, but it might be uncomfortable for you.

There is a lever located on the left side of the mower. There is a series of slots which one can adjust the grass heights. Good luck!

I'm only 5'11" but I find this to have a more upright posture. The ergonomics are different from a gas mower. This can easily be pushed with one hand and you're not limited to just one position to push it. For example, in easy, thin grass, I've stood up straight and a bit to the side of the mower while pushing with one hand.

I was baffled too when my first attempt to adjust it was made (largely because I refused to refer to the manual.) It turned out to be the easiest mower I've ever had to adjust. Standing behind the mower, looking towards the front, there is an orange lever on the right that when squeezed will produce an upward height adjustment. To get it lowered again or to find the preferred height setting, while squeezing the aforementioned lever, apply pressure by hand at the front of it. That's all there is to it; good luck!

My husband feels the handles could be higher. He is 5'11" We have them set at the highest. I don't know how the lowest settings could be comfortable for anybody over 5'4" This particular model is too short for men. The steel models are heavier but they are taller.

No, not so far as I can tell. The handle is fixed. I'm a little tall (6'1"), and I would like the handle to be an inch or two higher. But overall, this is a great, great stroller. I highly recommend it regardless.

I am 5'10" and my husband is 6'8" and we both use this stroller. The handle is not adjustable but my husband does not have to hunch to push it. At 5'10" I am very comfortable pushing the bob. We are not at home to measure right now.

I am 6'4" and I have the seat raised as far as it will go. I believe you will be able to reach the pedals in the lowest settingbut would advise visiting a Schwinn outlet to try a similar model.

The manual states 1-4". I have not used it on the highest mark as that seems really high! I did let part of the lawn get out of hand while doing some landscaping and of course the mower will just push down some very tall growth. Keep in mind that the best way to handle tall weeds is to get rid of the weeds in your lawn! What I found was if I set the mower as low as I could (and still push it) that it actually cut the long grass (and weeds) better but it was then very very short. You can set it low enough to scalp the lawn but of course it is hard to push at that low height. I have mine set at three notches up from lowest. This mower is for people who will keep up with their lawn care and keep a normal residential lawn. If someone has a weedy overgrown lawn and only wants to mow once or twice a month they might want to get something else. (and please don't move next door to me!)

No. The handle is not adjustable. I am 5' 2 and I was worried that it would be too high. I have not found it to be a problem

No handle is extendable. I am 6'1" and have used it on occasion to briskly walk as wife slowly jogs. Only shortcoming is weight but maneuvers easily.

The handle isn't adjustable. I don't know that height of the handle (sold ours when we left NYC), but I can tell you that one reason we bought it is because it has the highest handle we could find anywhere. We're a tall family (6' and up), and this worked well for us.

I haven't measured, but next time I mow I will. I'd guess it's close. I have it on the highest setting which is as high as the highest notch on my gas mower. Minimum would be 3.5 inches for sure.

The handle is not adjustable. With that said, I am 5'6". I wouldn't mind it being shorter for me, so I think it would work for you. Also my husband is 5'10" and doesn't mind pushing it.

I just measured ours and the handle extends to over 4 feet from the floor. I am nearly 6 feet tall and there is plenty of extension left that I don't use. Doesn't seem like height would be a problem.

The handle attaches at a pivot point and will lift up a few inches. I'm 6'00" tall and it works great for me. I stood on a step and the handle was still at a comfortable angle, but you do loose some of the ease of pushing in the forward direction because the handles are closer to being directly over the wheels. I hope this helps.

Yes, all six previous answers are correct. As with all push mowers the height of cut is adjustable by adjusting the height of the wheels.
