It's an older model - still shows up periodically on WOOT or as an Amazon Gold Box Special Deal.

That's weird. I remember replying to your post, but I don't see my reply. I must have forgotten to hit the post button after previewing it.

Yes, I believe I have found my next mower. Right now the old gasoline push mower is still starting with one-pull and running like a champ, but is not the best time to shop around not when you don't need to buy? Perhaps sometime between now and this time next year, the price will do an off-season drop.

This is the one that is screaming my name, and that Amazon Prime price is $50 cheaper than Friskars's own webpage is asking. I am having real difficulty keeping my finger off that "Buy" button!

And think of the money I'd save on gas!

Tell me, is maintenance much of an issue? I notice the Friskers web page says not to use the garden hose because for cleaning because of the potential for rust. Do you need to adjust the blades often? How difficult is it to keep the blades sharp?
