The self-propelled mechanism adjusts according to your walking speed, providing a comfortable mowing experience without requiring significant physical exertion.

User-friendly design is evident throughout the mower’s structure. The handle is adjustable, ensuring comfort for users of varying heights. The easy-start ignition system takes the hassle out of traditional pull-starts, allowing for a quick and reliable startup every time.

The Sears 917.25597 also considers storage and maintenance. Many models come with a foldable handle for easy storage in garages or sheds.
