piece of junk

Pros: none

Cons: A near inaccessible belt I've had to replace 4 times, etc.

I bought the 5521CHV having had a decent experience with a Husqvarna push model on a flat lot. My present lot is hilly. The Honda 5.5 HP engine is distinctly under-powered; most of the effort is mine. I have had to reinstall the belt three times, whi...ch is a very bothersome, tedious process. And now the mower sits in my garage having had the belt come off a fourth time. After several uses, I had to tie the right side of the handle frame such that I could raise the front wheels using leverage on the rear wheels. Because the frame was warped, the mower would slip off the frame. The mower is less than a year old. Read more Less
