Ergonomics is a key focus, with a comfortable handle design that reduces user fatigue and a lightweight frame that enhances maneuverability. The mower supports both bagging and mulching capabilities, offering flexibility in grass clipping disposal. It includes a grass bag with a substantial capacity, reducing the frequency of emptying during operation.
