Husqvarna 7021P (21") 160cc Honda 3-in-1 Push Lawn Mower

The mower lived up to all of my expectations. Delivered on time. Limited out of the box assembly and instructions. Easy one pull start (it started the first time I pulled the cord).

Cuts very efficiently and the Honda 160cc engine is dependable and powerful. If I could add a feature it would be a hose access port on top for cleaning.

I'm very happy. A quality mower at a quality price.

It's too flimsy. Arrived with wheels kinked and misaligned due to various parts bending, including the too-flimsy chassis. I bought it based on weight. It was too light. Returned it and bought a Honda. 13 pounds heavier, but worth the weight. To their eternal credit, Power Equipment Direct was EXCELLENT to deal with and returning was EASY. I was pleased enough with the service that I bought my Honda from them.

Love it. This replaced my 16-year-old Honda Powered Craftsman 3-in-1 mower. It handled the leaves in my yard with ease. Starts easily, really nice machine for the price.

I have used it twice so far, great solid mower with a high quality Honda engine.

As of now, it has only required 1 mild to moderate strength pull to start. I am a happy camper.

Great mower. Exactly what I was looking for. Never used the self-propelled Honda I had that my parents gave me, and that drive motor added a lot of weight to the mower. This one is much lighter. Great Honda engine.

I get my 1 acre lawn done in less time than it takes my old rider with uneven blades and the lawn looks a lot better too. Strong metal deck, undercarriage is easy to clean, and the handle is comfortable.

Ordered this mower w/Honda engine. Prompt/safe delivery. No problems

I am coming from a 15+ year old 22" self propelled Craftsman that finally bit the dust. I was hesitant about going a regular push mower. This mower is awesome.

Feels so much lighter and more maneuverable then my old mower. Arrived in perfect condition. Took about 10 minutes to setup.

I've used it twice and it started up with one pull. The model came with the auto choke system. Highly recommended.

starts beautifully.

My wife...I mean kids, got me this Husqvarna 7021P model for Father's Day. I was gifted it early so they wouldn't have to deal with the massive amounts of grass clippings my old mower left strewn about the lawn any longer. I decided to record a video to give people a good picture of what to expect.

Key Takeaways (if you don't want to sit through the video)
1. Use new fuel. I had trouble getting this mower start with some older gasoline that I had laying around the garage.
2. Make sure the bagger is fully attached or clippings will get out the side.
3. Add ALL the oil provided.
4. Enjoy! Mower worked great after I got it started and is a vast improvement over my old one.

Husqvarna 7021P Review and Introduction to Direct-Bag-It

7021P Review

As far as I can tell, this is the best value 3-in-1 push mower available. Think "simple quality." It was the only mower I could find that met my standards for my product Direct-Bag-It (described further below). If you are looking into the 7021P for your basic mowing needs, below are some items to consider:

Pros:

--Sturdy, light weight, stamped steel deck provides a solid foundation.
--The ball-bearing, large diameter wheels provide low rolling resistance.
--The features above make the system very maneuverable.
--Honda GCV 160 motor provides high quality, long life performance.
--Very good value.

Cons: (items to note, but do they do not outweigh the pros)

--The strength of this year's handle assembly took a step back. What was a single U-bar in the lower portion of the assembly is now two individual pieces, which is much more flimsy. This has been mitigated by supplying two nuts and two bolts to fasten the handle arms to the deck bracket. I saw no instructions supplied for this, but had to put 2 and 2 together.
--The grass catcher is undersized for bagging leaves and grass, relative to Direct-Bag-It.


Introduction to Direct-Bag-It: the smart way to bag your yard!

Every fall, I spent countless hours in our leaf-filled yard raking and filling clumsy paper yard bags. I knew there had to be a better way. Although seemingly impossible to create, I wanted my mower to fill directly into paper yard bags! After several prototypes, I am on the path to developing and commercializing "Direct-Bag-It: the smart way to bag your yard.” It saves tons of time, effort, and yard bags…I love using it!

A major obstacle to making multiple Direct-Bag-It systems was finding a quality, light weight, cost effective base mower. Enter the Husqvarna 7021P. Once I found it, I knew I could move ahead developing this significantly more efficient solution for bagging leaves and grass clippings. Visit www.direct-bag-it.com to find videos, "like" on Facebook for updates, place an order, and learn why Direct-Bag-It is a superior year-round leaf bagging, grass bagging, mulching machine!

Pros:

--All of the pros of the Husqvarna 7021P.
--Cut bagging time at least in half relative to raking and bagging. (preliminary testing)
--Reduce bag usage at least in half relative to raking and tamping. (preliminary testing)
--A significantly decreased overall effort relative to raking and bagging.
--A yard with the leaves removed and the grass mowed simultaneously.
--A super efficient leaf bagging system that is also adaptable for efficient use during other seasons using the grass bagging and mulching modes.
--The satisfaction of buying a multi-season, efficiency enhancing system that costs significantly less than a yard vacuum (that does not fill directly into yard bags, takes up extra space in your garage, and will only be used a few months out of the year).

Cons:

--I can't get you one immediately. I need to gain sufficient pre-orders to launch a low-volume production run of the fabricated steel parts, fund manufacturing tool improvements, and operate the business.

Easy to assemble, easy to use....just don't forget to install the two bolts into the handle near the base to keep the handle locked in place tightly.....no instructions for this in the manual and this is probably why some others have commented on the handle being flimsy...it's not. Great product so far...have used 4 times and it starts easy, cuts great and is easy to push too. Excellent value.
