I got the same mower spring 2019 and it is tough. I've run over so many sticks, overgrown weeds, wet grass, small shrubs, netting, bricks, got rope wrapped around the blade, etc.. Love it. It kept cranking even when I would choke it out. I have only put a new filter in maintenance-wise. Too lazy to clean the dirty one.
In the fall of 2017 my heavy $500 drive-assist Toro quit after 5 years. Best I could determine it was the carburetor. Turns out the carb is a single block of metal that costs $150+ to replace. So, I replaced it with one of these instead ($149 then). First one would not start for anything; took it back and they gave me a new one. Second one was missing several parts, including the screws to hold the handle together; took that back. Third time was the charm: still using it and never have had a single problem, always starts (better than the Toro ever did, too). I think the failure rate (lack of quality control) on most products is far higher than it used to be, regardless of brand, but if you get a good one of these it will last and perform very well.
I bought mine tonight for $231, with tax @ Walmart. Watched both of your videos on this machine. I am confident it is perfect for my yard. My lot is less than 1/4 acre and I am in New England, so it won't get as much use as yours and last me a long time. Thanks.
My brother has this mower, he has used it heavily, it was running rough at the beginning of this season, changed the oil, spark plug, ran some seafoam through it & it is running good again, I think it is a solid mower, made it through a season of heavy use & I think it will easily make it though another one, got to love the price too.
I just bought one last night, lol before using it I needed a review. Seems like it's a good machine so, I'll be using it. $180 pluse tax in Puerto Rico Walmart.
Just purchased this mower. Pending delivery and I'm excited. Gone thru 2 electric mowers, they just die! .Tired of cords! Hoping this works well. Small yard.

For anyone new to changing oil on push mowers or storage of them...never ever tip them towards the carburator for extended time frame..the oil WILL fill into carb and you will be in for a treat tearing the carb off and cleaning it.
I bought the same mower probably 3 seasons ago and it still works just fine the only thing I have an issue with is now I live in East TN and the grass in my yard grows so fast and thick I actually have to raise my deck higher to get it cut without choking the mower out. Besides that it does what I want it to do, it's just a little underpowered for my needs here.
You're suppose to change the oil within the first 5 hours due to the manufacturing process of the engine block. You'll have small aluminum shavings in the engine oil. Warm up the engine for a few minutes then drain the oil.
I've had my Hypertough push mower for 5 years. Its great. All I have done was change oil and sharpen the blade. Other than that it's a good little mower. But its been light to medium use.
You have to consider ETHANOL. I understand that in the South it is still pretty easy to find gas sold WITHOUT ethanol added. This is probably what the author of this video uses. That is why he has no problem. Other people, (for example, up north), don't have a choice but to buy their gas with ETHANOL mix (10% most commonly). This is what causes starting problems. Not at first, but later. You see, ethanol extracts water from the atmosphere, and you wind up with water in your tank. If you use Ethanol mixed gas, make sure to use a fuel stablizer product, like STA-BIL. I think you mix about half an ounce per gallon to your gas. Stabilizer works so well that I have seen a mower hard to start because of water problem, and then splashing a little STA-BIL in the tank, waiting a couple of minutes, and have the mower start well.
I will. I’m in an area where I cannot upload to RUclips for the next few months. Sorry for the wait. As of now the mower is still running and good to go.
I enjoy being made fun of for my hypertough tools. They are wonderful for home use! I don't expect them to make me money at work, I expect them to work for light projects at home. Go ahead and show off your Milwaukee tools. I love them too. But don't hat on hyper Tough!
@@artillerylife at times i have to mow around gravel's so when i can turn down the engine speed it does not throw them out, but i did go ahead and buy the mower , it is a great little mower , and lite also which is what i was hoping for when i have to mow on hills
@@artillerylife Actually, it's not bad at all. They're prone to getting a little gummed up, but the carb itself is insanely simple to remove, take apart and clean, and reinstall. If you absolutely need a new carb, a replacement is

I have bought several hypertough tools and ha e been very happy. Mind you they are only for home use, nothing heavy.
Thank you so much for this review. I'm in Louisiana too and I just need something to cut my yard that's only 1/2 an acre.
Stay cool out there!

Outstanding! Oh and love your name by the way!

I love those kind of mowers, they’re surprisingly tough
I didn’t realize you were posting again. Glad to see you’re back and looking forward to more of your videos.
Thank you!! Work has been crazy but wanted to start again. Thank you so much for the kind words

Would you go so far as to say it was "hyper tough"?

Mine shipped dry with a 14 ounce bottle of 30w Stratton oil
I've had my Hypertough push mower for 5 years. Its great. All I have done was change oil and sharpen the blade. Other than that it's a good little mower. But its been light to medium use.
Best part for me because I do it myself is the I don't have a lot enough
I have the same one but its 8 year old
I have had mine four a year and I love it and gone to buy one more

👍 review,

Any ideas how to get a side discharge grass bag for it..thx
Please update the mower review
I will. I’m in an area where I cannot upload to RUclips for the next few months. Sorry for the wait. As of now the mower is still running and good to go.
I can get the dipstick to come out to add oil . Any help ?
This mower will chop down thick as f*** heavy, wet, Ohio grass with no issues. Best $250 I've spent in awhile.
I got me a pulsar push mower for 35$ less then this at Atwood's and it has ball bearing wheels
I bought the same one today

They are 250 now
Hey can you tell me if you can turn the speed of the engine up and down yourself?
TheRichard4098 there is no switch for it but I’m sure I could figure something out on it. Why do you wanna do it? Just curious

I don't have a lot of enough money either lol
Dang... just spent $500 on a battery operated one 🤣 .... hopefully it outlasts yours at that price 😬
Wine Chick those EGO brand is really good. I’ve never used it but I have heard great things
I repair lawn mowers and I have done repair 10 is this year carburetors nothing but plastic.
That’s no good!
