Product Review
The Lawn-Boy 10686 eases everyones least favorite weekend task in a number of ways. No more yanking on a stubborn cord--an easy electric starter means the powerful Tecumseh LV 195 engine thrums to life with the turn of a key. A Sens-a-Speed self-propel system guides the mower without depending on the sweat of your brow, and even adjusts automatically to match the operators natural walking speed (up to four miles an hour). Finally, a three-in-one system lets you choose between rear-bagging grass clippings, discharging them through a side chute, or mulching, to give your lawn a shot of 100% natural fertilizer. Switching from one function to another is quick, easy, and involves no tools whatsoever.
The 10686 also comes loaded with thoughtful comfort features like easy-adjusting handle height, soft ergonomic grips, and a one-handed, easy-lift bag. Step once on the quick-stow lever to have the handle fold at a ninety-degree angle; step twice for flat, 180-degree storage, allowing even the bag to stow away neatly. The 21-inch steel cutting deck is durable, lightweight, and simple to maneuver. Combined with the units easy-turn wheels, it means the 110686 is exceptionally uncomplicated for even smaller persons to handle in turns and tight corners. This mower is covered by a full two-year warranty. --Mary Park

Reader Reviews
I read all the reviews I could find and shopped around locally for a new mower. I finally settled on a Lawn Boy and decided to spend the extra for the electric start. Had reservations about purchasing a mower on the internet but decided to give it a try. Mower arrived via Eagle transportation... the carton had a few holes poked in it but nothing was damaged. Un-boxed it, added the oil, charged the battery, filled the tank with gas turned the ignition switch... nothing. Mentally went into panic mode with images of all the possible problems that could be hiding under the skin of my new mower... then I realized that I did not have the blade control bar pressed back against the handle. Pulled back the bar, turned the switch, and the green machine came to life. The sense-a-speed feature is wonderful, you can move at your own speed and the mower moves along effortlessly. I left the mower in mulching mode and mowed some rather tall grass with ease... not one blade of grass left on top of the lawn... did a beautiful job. This is a new love affair with the green machine as I had been Craftsman user for years. Bottom line... so far, so good. Time will tell if I made the correct choice.
