...using this mower, my lawn looked ok because the roller had flattened the grass into nice stripes but a day later, the wind will blow the stripes out and the grass appeared as long as it was previously. Adjusting the cutting blades didn't work either, they were either too close and banging into each other on every rotation (but at least it cut the grass) or they were too far apart and didn't cut. Overall, very poor mower considering the price. I ...
