I owned one of those around 4 years ago. I had a tiny yard and didn't need a big gas powered one. It was neat to use early in the year but during the summer I gave up on it and paid someone else to mow my yard. I lived in Alabama with near 100 degree temperatures for most of the one summer and mowing with an old school mower was more work in the extreme heat. I did love it when it wasn't so hot out though.
