Additionally, the mower features a 3-in-1 cutting system that allows users to choose between mulching, bagging, or side discharge. This versatility enables homeowners to manage their lawn clippings according to their specific needs.

Another key characteristic of the SMV122 is its eight-setting height adjustment feature. This allows users to select the ideal grass height, catering to various grass types and seasons. Whether you're looking for a trim for a summer lawn or longer blades to withstand winter, this mower provides the flexibility needed for customized lawn care.

In terms of ergonomics, the Scotts SMV122 has an adjustable handle that accommodates users of different heights. The soft-grip handle enhances comfort during longer mowing sessions, reducing strain on the hands and wrists.
