was used 5 times then something went horribly wrong. Repair was under warranty but when I talked with the repair person she said they would take it in and tighten everything - human hands are more reliable - is what she said. Robotic manufacturing has its problems no matter where they are built now.

The pulley system was stripped in two places and it had to be replaced. It was probably loose from the start.

This mower replaced my old John Deere which lasted 30 years.
