Is this a hard start cord pull machine? I need an easy start lawn mower?

I don't know what you mean by an 'easy start lawn mower'. This one is not hard to start because you don't have to pull the cord more than 2 times. More elaborate types without cord start will be more expensive and much bigger to handle.

Mine starts at 5 pulls every single time. From the first time I used it until the last. I have read others say theirs starts on the first pull, maybe so but mine starts at 5. Hope this helps.

It alaways starts on the first or seecnd pull. I am not a large person (woman) and easily get it started.

yes cold start takes 3 pulls if you follow directions. after warmed up usually 1 pull. it's a great little chainsaw.

this is a rope pull start, but it is very easy to pull and the machine is very lightweight and easy to use.

No it is not electric start, it has a pull cord that is pretty easy to use, and the generator only needs two to three pulls to get it running.

Yes the cs400 I purchased in 2010 has "easy start". I don't know how it works, whether it functions of decompression or with spring assist in the starter recoil.Chainsaws DO NOT HAVE BLADES, they are equipped with a BAR and chain. The cs400 is considered a 40cc chainsaw and I do believe you will find this saw to be "under-powered' running an 18" bar and chain, a 16" would be the biggest I would run. I operate my cs400 with a 14" bar and chain and find it has plenty of power cutting brush and limbs. With proper fuel mix and simple care these little saws should provide very good service for the owner and warranty claims not needed.Most any 2 cycle engine will fail prematurely if not properly cared for.

I start it with one hand with foot on top, starts with 1-2 good pulls, its a heavier pull than most other items I have but the pull is different as the momentum carries over to the next pull making it much lighter on the followup. Once you hit a fast enough spin it just starts. Go to a lowes and test it out... to be sure this blower does rock. I am not sure exactly what your you can or can't do. But if you can start other items this should be no problem. Otherwise go electric.

Sue it is easy to start and the good thing about the machine is its lightweight in general. As long as you follow the prep directions and prime it and choke it correct then it does start at least by the 3rd pull I am happy with this machine and it is green which makes me happier .

Well, honestly it depends on the thickness of your grass. It seems to go rather well even at a thicker grass, but you usually would have to adjust the level of the wheels bagger or no bagger etc. This machine does not have a self propelled mechanism, but it starts pretty easily every time. It cuts good, too!

I don't think it's hard to start. There's a priming bulb that you pump gas into the engine and a start switch (automatic choke) you use. Mine has always started in less than six easy pulls on the starter cord. I've never used the leaf vacuum. It uses premium grade gas mixed with two stroke oil at 100:1. I'm happy with this purchase. Saved water this summer cleaning patios and walkways with it. Hope this helps.

this machine mulches as it cuts, it can also bag the mulch. one or two pulls will always start the machine... incredibly true

we got this because we have like 30 square feet to mow in our town house, so its a 5 min process. taking that into consideration, its not bad, its definitely not self propelled you have to push it and there is a little resistance. It also depends on how thick and high the grass is. I wouldn't recommend this for you if you have a large area to mow. The handle height is decent (the user is 6') i don't feel like i'm bent over using it. the best way to describe it would be pushing an empty shopping cart

I have started mine more than 25 times and it has started by the 3rd pull all but one time, I pulled the cord a dozen or so times and realized that I had the run switch in the off position. Other than that mine runs perfect all the time. Iove this thing.

It is very easy for me to mow the grass and push it and I'm a young femaile (24). I'll be honest my husband does the vast majority because he likes it "lucky girl" - but it is very easy for me t use. Best purchase we've made for lawncare hands down. Easy to charge and push. It is a heavy mower about 80 lbs- so you won't want to be picking it up- but it is very easy to push. And does an excellent job!

Unfortunately, I am down in FL for winter and don't have trimmer or paperwork available. It is not light and may be tedious for a person with limited strength. I initially had trouble with the starter cord and on-off switch, but both were resolved.

I used a 100 ft heavy cord..............but frankly the mower sucks. It's very light weight, doesn't cut well and unless you have very flat ground and grass that isn't thick you're wasting your money. I sent mine back within two days of trying it.

No.Easier thuan the small gas mower I had. Kind of like vacuuming the yard. My wife has no problems using.
