PowerSmart 21" Gas Lawn Mower with 170CC 4-Stroke Engine

Ann P.: I cannot believe the difference between this and my old Craftsman. Since it came out of the box, it has started up on one pull of the cord. And the self-propelled feature is amazing. When engaged, it doesn't just help out, it takes off and takes you with it. Ok, that took some getting used to after my previous mowers, but it's great.

Jay V: 11 months old and I’ve used it to mow my lawn 12 times. Today the left wheel stopped driving making it near impossible to keep straight.

Fast forward to May 2020 - mowing today (it’s a push mower now as it won’t drive anymore) the righ side rear wheel just fell off!

And the issue from last year, was never resolved. Got in touch with support and they asked which parts I need. I’m not a lawnmower engineer, how should I know?!? Just send whatever parts make the wheel turn when the engine spins. Never heard back.

P S: Fairly easy to put together. Within 30 minutes of unboxing, it was together, filled with oil and gas and ready to go. My 10 year old had no problem mowing with it. Height adjustment is 2 levers: front and rear.

Would be a 5 star review except it only has 1 speed for the self propel: ludicrous speed. It's not that bad, but it jerks when taking off.

00xuser: Update: The self-propelled mechanism died after only one season. It no longer pulls itself as of this spring, but I took the gears off so it would free-wheel and it cuts grass just fine. It is no longer self-propelled, probably Chinese cheap mechanism.

Update: 6-9-20
I get horrible chest pains when holding onto this mower when it is running. I didn't have angina or heart problem before now, but maybe this mower is connecting to a satellite or cell tower. The frequency it is emitting is strong according to my Amazon GQ 380 meter and this mower is really zapping me with EMF and electric field.

I mowed nearly 1/4 acre with this mower which started on the first pull. I had tall grass as tall as weeds and weeds too & this mower ran over all of it. In the really thick stuff that is overgrown you might release the drive and let it stop and catch up. It died out several times because the weeds and grass were too thick, so maybe take a half cut or part of the row in tall grass and let it catch up. It's just the right walking speed for me, not too fast but moves right along. If an old 68 year old diabetic with arthritis can use this then probably...

InkedApple83: I have owned this monster mower for a few months now, here's what you need to know.
It is not lightweight, nor is it heavy, is somewhere in the middle, think Goldilocks eating baby bears porridge, it's just right.
It looks cool, wait why should you care about that?! There's really no reason you need this information unless you are planning on shooting a music video and needed to KNOW the mower you are buying is photogenic.
I mow 4 acres every week, in an ideal world those aforementioned acres would be flat, but alas that is not the case, think a 50/50 split of hills and flat area. This monster never fails to climb the hills with ease.
Hey! You are still reading, great! Let us talk power, the given name of this mower is PowerSmart DB8621S. After getting to know the PS mower I have changed its name for a couple of reasons. 1. Saying "I'm going to mow the lawn with the PowerSmart" Is not nearly as fun as saying "I'm going to take the monster for a lawn walk"
2. Calling my lawnmower "The Monster" makes me feel like mowing the lawn is more metal than mundane.
3. I am totally happy with this mower, it starts up without much effort, it runs...
