The bagger works just fine and can be set either as a side bagger or a back begger. I live in a very rural area and our lawn is a feral lawn; a lotta grass but boocoo weeds and stuff. I don't bag the cuttings, just leave them lay. The biggest advantage is no pull start and no gas to pour; just pop in the batteries and go. If I'm out gallivanting around, my wife has no problems with cutting the lawns -- we have one at the house and one over at the guest cabin. The mower weighs 60 pounds so it stays on the ground without being a gut buster putting it away.
