Pros & Cons
Pros
Three wheel design funky but works w lumpy lawn lawn and'speed bump' and hoses. It zips right up at a near decent walking speed. Great quality disc brake that can be set while you load it on a slope.

Highlights
Quality

Competitiveness
I use the 6amp batteries for longer run time.
