Starting is no more a thing to worry with the electric operated corded lawnmower. You need to just plug in the cord to a grounded electric outlet outside your house and get going. The simple push-button start will get the engine purring. Getting used to a corded mower may take some time though.

You need to start by mowing close to the power outlet and slowly move away from it. You need to just take care of the fact that the cord does not come in the way and move it opposite to the direction of the discharge chute to prevent it from getting damaged.

The only disadvantage with a corded mower is the fact the presence of a cord limits the area that can be covered with this mower as there is a restriction in accordance with the maximum length of the cord and so this mower doesn’t suit long narrow yards.

The 17” cutting path may seem to be small compared to the 20” ones normally available in the market but is ideal for small yards and can be easily maneuvered around trees and garden hoses or fences.

The height of the deck can be easily adjusted between 1” and 3” with the help of the single lever. The lever allows you to adjust the height to six different positions within the aforesaid range.
