Lawn-Boy Gold Series Model 10550

Pros: Runs on a mix of gasoline and 2-cycle oil, no more oil changes.
Cons: Price is a little steep and replacements parts cost a arm and leg.

Gardening write-off, now this beats the heck out of the “What is a butt rash and how do you treat it?” w/o I wanted to host but couldn’t get any responses for over a year now. If there’s anything I love as much as family it would have to be my love for...

Pros: It's good and safe
Cons: But, so what? The damn thing is awful.

Let me get this out of the way first -- I've grown to hate lawyers over the years. I hate them and the little ninnies responsible for all manner of complaints, trivial whinings and petty lawsuits that have resulted in luke-warm coffee at McDonald's,...

Pros: Easy-Stride Propel System is Excellent. Performs Perfectly. Commercial Grade.
Cons: High Price. Mower must roll forward 3" for propel unit to disengage.

The beginning of this mowing year, I found myself in need of a new Self-Propelled Mower. I used an older model Snapper for the last 6 years that my Father-in-Law gave me. This unit was so heavy, that when I was done mowing, I felt drained from ...

Pros: Easy to use, lightweight, mulches, self-propelled
Cons: It's light green in color

What does that title mean, you ask??? Well, yesterday, I was mowing my back yard when my lawnmower went to lawn mower heaven. Yep, I wrote a review a few weeks ago on the mower that I do not like. Well, now it is gone.

That was the only...

Pros: Fast, 6 height levels
Cons: None really

We had an old Sears Craftsmen mower. You know...3.5 horse power and it was not self-propelled. That old clunker had been repaired several times since we have had it and it was just a big pain to operate! That mower finally died and we decided to just...

Pros: Light weight, tough as iron, cuts great.
Cons: None

I have had the Lawn-Boy Silver Series green machine for just over 6 years. It gets a particularly h ...

Pros: Easy to maneuver, self-propelled, terrific brand name
Cons: Oil/gas mixture and it's a bit loud

The Lawn-Boy name. A name I have known for years ever since I was old enough to mow a lawn! Lawn-Boy has not changed much in the years, other than continued on to be a very reliable product.

I have been using this particular...

Pros: Self Propelled, Mulching feature
Cons: Stalls in high wet grass

Our lawnboy mower is the second mower we have purchased since getting married.

The first one we owned which was not a lawnboy just didn't hold up very well and after two years it was junk.

So when we went out in search of a mower...

Pros: Great engine power and longevity.
Cons: Aggravating trim edge chassis design.

Having bought four mowers over a 20-year period, two Briggs and Stratton models and two Tecumseh models, I decided to see if the Lawn-Boy longevity is true. I hear reports of these mowers going 10 to 20 or more years. Both Briggs and Stratton models wore ...

Pros: Durability; Versatility; 2-Cycle Engine
Cons: None

I LOVE my recently-purchased Lawn Boy GoldPro series mower, and while I sympathize with the rantings of a previous review, I am left wondering if that reviewer was really using a Lawn Boy. Honestly, I've never heard of a Lawn Boy being that kind of a...

Pros: Features make it the easiest to use push mower out there. Powerful and reliable.
Cons: Long chute between bag and mower needs scooped out after every full bag. Somewhat pricey.

After my Craftsman mower was getting unreliable and I was getting sick of its pain in the rear features after only 4 seasons, I decided it was time to upgrade. After researching inspecting the mowers available, I settled on my Lawnboy gold series. ...

Pros: convenient recoil starter
Cons: does not crank up on the first pull

No one thinks about emerald green lawns during this time of the year, however in Atlanta, Georgia we’ve had an increase in rain, which means the grass keeps growing.

Mowing the lawn is much less taxing than it used to be when I was younger....

Pros: Light weight and manouverable Good, clean mulching and bagging cut Easy to start Convenient controls
Cons: Unreliable engine Staggered wheel pattern Damage-prone accessories

When our yard task changed from a flat/.25 acre to a sloped .5 acre, we sold our reliable 3.5hp Bolens mulcher for the 6.5hp/4-cycle engined, self-propelled, mulcher and bagger Silver series model from Lawn Boy.

During its short stay at our...

Pros: Lots of features, self-propelled, "tough", set back wheel gets close to trees
Cons: Changing attachments can be difficult

I didn't realize how big my lawn was UNTIL I cut it for the first time. The front slopes down a hill toward a creek. In fact, the yard is almost like a bowl, and it all slopes down toward the backyard. Makes mowing quite a challenge! It's a little...

Pros: Good gas mileage, plenty of power, lightweight
Cons: Offset front wheel, bagging chute attachment, vibration, noisy

This opinion is primarily a comparison of the Lawn Boy Silver and the Lawn Boy Silver Pro. I owned the Lawn Boy Silver for 7 years before it died (leaking oil and unable to start). In looking to replace the Lawn Boy Silver, I looked at mowers by John...
