Wasn't assembled so had to try that myself. The model has been updated but not the instructions and pictures which wasn't exactly helpful. Ended up taking it to a service centre. It is easy to start and operate although there is quite a bit of vibration in the handles; 1 hour's use is quite enough at a time. The reverse is useful although you can manoeuvre the machine by pulling it. I could do with a bigger hand to grip the cutter and drive handles but I do manage. I am nearly 70, female and only 5'1'' so if I can use it, I'm sure most people could. It does a brilliant job of cutting long grass and can cope with nettles, thistles and small clumps of reeds. I am very impressed.
