Husqvarna 7021RB 21-Inch 160cc Honda GCV Gas-Powered Self-Propelled RWD Lawn Mower with Blade Brake Clutch Review

This is not the first time I've purchased large mechanical items and had them shipped by parcel delivery.This is though, the first time I've had a product delivered to me without any sign of damage (the box had no signs of rips, scuffs or tears) where I ended up with damaged goods.

Specifically, the mower deck pan was heavily dented, so much so that it required me to remove the blade and use a rubber mallet to knock the dent out so that the blade could turn under the mower deck.After reassembly of the blade under the deck, I went to extend the handle to the operating position, only to find that BOTH sides on the hinge support welded to the deck were bent and they too required "adjustment" so that the handle could be assembled.Lastly, after completing the the assembly checklist prior to using the mower, I started it up, engaged the drive and nothing happened. Short story, the drive belt had slipped off the pulleys which required me to open the deck from both the top and bottom (removing the blade for the second time)to fix.Total time spent to ready this mower for service; 1 1/2 hours.

As a mower, not bad but not great.
Likes:
- Blade brake (second mower I've owned with one, reason for this purchase)
- Wheel adjustment
- Nice "Cut"!
- Price
Dislikes:
- Packaging (caused hidden damage found after delivery)
- Drive system (looks like a maintenance issue long term)
- "Slow" motion, mower doesn't move quickly, even with handle fully depressed
- Cheap, This is a 5 year mower (deck) with some 10 year parts
Why would they NOT put a handle on the outside of the bag to help customers empty it??

Oh well, you get what you pay for...

Ideal for medium-duty, occasional, or seasonal use, the 7021RB provides a 21-inch cutting width, 1.5- to 3.5-inch cutting height, six cutting height increments, and single-lever height adjustment. Its 21-inch steel deck and easy-starting, high-spec 6.9-gross-torque Honda GCV160 engine ensure smooth, efficient operation and give you the versatility to change the mowing technique based on conditions or personal preference.
Three-in-One Cutting System
Like all Husqvarna walk-behind mowers, the 7021RB utilizes a three-in-one cutting system and offers mulching, rear bag collection, and side discharge capabilities.
No matter which function choose, you'll appreciate the unique AutoWalk feature, which allows you to mow at your own personal pace by simply squeezing the trigger on the handlebar to set the self-propelled rear-wheel drive system.
Saves Time and Effort
The 7021RB is packed with time-saving, efficiency-boosting features. It's mulch capable, which means you can return vital nutrients back into the soil for a healthier, greener lawn. Also, an auto return choke automatically disengages after the engine starts, thereby preventing flooding and ensuring easier starting. And with the BBC, you can temporarily step away from the mower to pick up debris or empty the bag without having to restart the machine when you're done.
Great Maneuverability
Uneven terrain, bumps, and tight areas around trees and bushes are no problem, with the 7021RB. Rear-wheel drive with eight-inch rear wheels and double ball bearings keep things smooth and stable, even when the ground isn't.
User-Friendly Features
Designed to be as user friendly as it is powerful, the 7021RB includes an ergonomic, curved handle with adjustable height for more comfortable pushing. And when you're done, simply fold the handle down for quick and easy storage and portability.
The 7021RB is backed by a two-year warranty.
