My Life Outside of Lawn Mowers: My friend just informed me that you can get a tax refund advance loan after you figure out how much the government owes you. This way you get your tax refund much quicker if you need the money.

While this is not the classic Lawn Boy of old with a 2-cycle engine and aluminum deck, it is a quality mower with great features for the price. Lawn Boy is owned by Toro, and this is an entry level line added by Toro to extend Lawn Boys product line. It comes with a great 2 year warranty if you have any doubts.
First and foremost, it is a rear-drive mower (better than front drive) for a price less than other brands charge for front drive. Briggs and Stratton is a quality engine that usually outlasts the mower decks. Yes, its 6.5 Torque, not HP, but most mowers are rating by torque now.
Mine started in 1 pull right out of the box (after adding oil and gas). The rear drive is powerful and variable speed by the handle (another handy feature).
Yes, it does do side discharge. The accessory for side discharge is not included in the box (since many only mulch or bag), but Lawn Boy will send it for FREE if you request it (by mail per included postcard or online during registration). Mine came in less than a week, although they say it may take 4-5 weeks.
The other reviewers must have been expecting the top of the line Lawn Boy at a bargain price. This is a quality mower, and when you compare it feature for feature even lower end mowers can stack up to it for the price.

I am not thrilled with this mower. The operator’s manual says that gas w/10% ethanol is acceptable - but when it stopped running (after 2 mos use)& I needed to take it in to the…

I have an expensive Honda mower($800) which is always in the shop, so, after considerable research, I bought this lawnboy as a backup mower. It has a nice engine (Briggs and Stratton 650 no-choke easy-start), rear variable-speed self-propel and fair bagging. While the honda is big, heavy and difficult to navigate, this model is light, quick and easy to maneuver. I find it more fun to use than the honda and it’s much less than 1/2 the price. At this price-level, there are some minor drawbacks. E.g. there are some small holes for installation of an electric start module that are not covered over. But other rear-drive comparable self-propelled mowers start bat about $100 more. By the way, there is a 2-year full warranty. So far, I like this mower.

An excellent value!
This mower started quickly the first time out of the box. The variable speed rear wheel drive works great! I have used this mower six times since I received it.

This is a good mower for the money. My yard is on a hill and the back yard has several small ups and downs. This mower handled the hills easily. I mowed in about a third less time and was not as tired when I finished.
My main complaint is that when you get it from Amazon, it comes by UPS and Amazon won’t take it back if it doesn’t work. You are stuck trying to find a Toro/Lawn Boy repair center who will do warranty repairs on a mower you didn’t buy from them. When I took my new mower that would not start to be repaired. The guy at the authorized repair place said he would never buy a mower online. My new mower needed a cable adjustment. Once that was done (about a week in the shop) it works great. You can get the same mower for the same price at Home Depot and they will take it back if it doesn’t work for you.
Note that the side discharge chute does not come with the mower initially, you have to write in and request a free one. But that only took a few days.

Lawn Mower
The Law Boy mower starts on the first pull every time. I like that. The problem I have is that when it arrived from delivery, the front two wheels were jammed up into the frame…

Noisy Operation, Warped rear door

So far, not so great. We’ll see.
I purchased Lawn Boy model 10641 on May 16th 2009 at my local Home Depot.
It starts easily (I am a 62 year old female)
It runs fast-I actually need to slow it down…

Amazing mower for the price
After casually watching mower prices at Home Depot for several years, I had assumed I would need to spend roughly $450 for a good-quality self-propelled mower.
