is this self propelled I like this mower. But is this (MM875) a self-propelled mower? I have a lawn with slopes and would be hard for me to push if without self-propelled. Thanks!

This mower is so lightweight that it doesn't make sense to even have a self-propelling mechanism.

I posted a review a month or so ago. Don't know what happened to it. I didn't like this machine. A mulching mower works much better for me.

Yes you can. It only self propells if you hold a lever down. the blades are always cutting if it is running though. Great mower for the money. No problems at all with it.

It is about the same as pushing a lawn mower. It has a large engine so it will be a bit heavier to push. I use it with a back and forth motion rather than making turns. It is more narrow than a lawn mower and it is top heavy, so be careful mowing across inclines.

It is not self-propelled. The weight is about the same as a gas mower (the battery is fairly heavy). A mower with an electric cord instead of a cordless one may be lighter, but I am not sure.

Yes it is self-propelled. But to pull back its really hard. I have been trying to like this vacuum but it still lacks in so many ways.

It is a pretty good mower but if you are used to the classic self propelled its hard at first but if you mow them gradually not wait till they grow long you have no problem but you need to push a bit too.

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!

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.

My experience with the Toro's, and this has happeneded with two Toro's that I have, is that the self-propelled feature fails due to drive belt wear caused by twigs getting jammed in the mechanism. There are do-it-yourself videos on Youtube for fixing this; or elect the other option of bringing to a service shop and having them do it- usually about a $70 repair for new belt and labor. Alternatively, just get a new mower that is not a Toro. I have never had similar issues with any of my other non-Toro lawnmowers. Good Luck.

Sure, there are two different engagement controls, and only one is for the self-propelled feature. Leave it off, and you can use the mower as a non-self propelled mower.

I have a steep hill in my yard. My previous electric mower weighed 90 pounds, so this is a huge improvement (at around 30 pounds). I find it very easy to handle on my hill, but know that it is NOT self-propelled.

No. It's not self propelled. It's very light until the bag fills up. You just need to empty the bag when it feels heavy. It's really for a smaller lawn. I wouldn't use an electric mower on a large lawn.

This model is not a self propelled one. They do have a model in the Wind Tunnel series that is self propelled.

Not self propelled, but light compared to my old battery mower (craftsman) - I'm also in my 60s and also have a hill to mow - it's fine for me

I do not think any electric lawn mower is self propelled. . would be a safety problem. You will not have any problem with this mower. . . lightweight, sturdy and easy to handle.
