Does it spray the cut grass forward or backward? if it is backward, is it an issue that gets your feet too dirty

Mostly forward but backwards too. I definitely wouldn't wear nice shoes cutting with this.

the grass is propelled towards the operator and to the left .... most of it goes into the grass "catcher" that you should probably have attached....that way you can use the cut grass for composting. Compared to weed whacking, for example, having cut grass fall on your feet , if it overshoots the 'catcher', isn't going to be a problem

The grass does go toward the back, but falls ahead of your feet. It has not been a problem for us. I do wear old shoes because walking through newly cut grass tends to green my shoes, but that was true with the gas mower, too. We do not use a catcher and are happy with it.

I'm not sure because I'm spraying specific plants where the grass is coming up between the roots of the plants. I've used 2 bottles so far but I'm spraying very heavily. I've noticed where I've sprayed the grass is turning brown but will not know for sure if it is going to the roots. I live where we have pasture grass since this was cattle pasture for many years.

It will clog the blades if you let the grass grow too long between mowings. This isn't a huge problem, you just step back a couple of steps and power forward through the build-up. This can be avoided by (a) cutting regularly or (b) cutting less than 18-inch per pass when you don't cut regularly.

I love this tool, but it is not my first choice for the grass problem you describe. Those grass roots radiate about 5 inches out from the clump, and you will have to cut through those roots all the way around and underneath the clump to get them out. A tool like a heavy duty serrated knife works better -- and much faster.

It will only rotate when pushed forward. Will take a few passes. My grass is more difficult, though, because I have a lot of weeds that grow faster than grass. Need to mow more often.

It doesn't work well on grassy area. Works great on concrete though. My kids love it. And now all the kids in neighborhood have one.

It does not work the best. Even with a fully charged battery, it moves very slow on freshly cut grass.

Aww man you're gonna make me have to go see cuz I honestly can't remember. I hope you appreciate this and you owe me a beer.......Ok, it will roll backwards but the blades do not. It is however a fairly heavy bugger and I expect, with proper maintenance, to get a lifetime of usage out of it. I bought it mainly as a backup for my power mower. It does not, however, cut weeds for nothing and I don't know why. I believe because the weeds are so flexible they slide right through. But in a way that's a good thing as then you can spot the little bastids and kill them.

It does spray water out and then you suck it up with the dirt. If you are doing a small space it shouldn't be an issue but any water based cleaner will require some drying time.

The only time I have had this happen was this morning, after almost 2 years of use. I hadn't done my regular maintenance so the grass was both high and lush and it had rained. It was difficult this morning, but I can't say the blades were clogged, just overwhelmed. When I was keeping it mowed it was a pleasure every time.

It can if you cut your grass too deep. Set the cutting height to only cut about 1/2 inch off the length of the blades of grass each time you mow and the grass will work its way back into the soil. Longer cuts will lay on top of the grass and make it harder for you to mow. When my grass is too high due to too much rain before being able to be cut, I use the grass catcher and empty it in a mulch pile I have. I love my Fiskars mower, quiet, easy to push, gives me a quick work out.

Not bad at all. My front yard was apparently created some 40 years ago by some guy with a dump truck dumping a load of dirt, some other guy indifferently raking the dirt around, years of moles, city work crews and time digging, slumping, and in general just creating a semi-natural mess. Heck, it even included, at one time, for its careful leveling neighbors who invited their drunk friends over to drive on it (a time thankfully passed--Good Neighbors, now). So, my front yard is NOT "even ground". I like how the mower works on it. YMMV, but then I don't know how you want your lawn to look after mowing. Mine will never look like a putting green, but I neither expect or want it to.

I have never wet the ground as we live in AZ where it is continually dry. However, when the rain does come it seems to wash it down the rocks (where the weeds grow after a rain) and I have had great success with this product. I think it works best when it is going to rain soon. I don't have to pull weeds anymore!

Ours has been driven on grass but performs better on pavement or concrete. It really slows the speed.

I am guessing you are referring to the position of the LEVER : when it is up the blade cuts deeper (trenching), when it is down the blade cuts more shallowly. I will say the trenching is not much of a trenching; it just scalps the lawn/flower bed a little more

It sounds like you have grass clogging it up. If it's all clean underneath, then i have no idea.

Sometimes it works too well and you will get mounds of earthworm droppings after colonies of earthworms start setting in...lol Your front lawn will look like a mine field (with worms castings)
