The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the PowerSmart EasyGlide 21-inch push mower is the budget volume leader, carrying a 4.4-star average across roughly 883 ratings. Walmart verified-purchase reviewers report it 'started easily on 1st start up after priming' and didn't need re-priming a week later, and Home Depot buyers call it 'amazing—excellent quality and very easy to use.' Its 144cc engine and 3-in-1 deck cover the basics for small-to-medium flat lawns at one of the lowest prices in the category. The honest counterweight comes from specialist communities and one Facebook group where, per a summarized thread, 'most commenters strongly advise against Power Smart, citing poor quality and reliability issues.' r/lawnmowers owners describe it as a 'very cheap mower, not very complicated'—easy to start if you follow the directions, but low-end.

Where it falls short

As a no-frills budget push mower, the consensus is that it punches above its price; just don't expect long-term durability or premium cut quality.

It runs and cuts very well. Easy to start if starting directions are followed. Down side, one self-propelled speed, go. No throttle or manual ...
