YARDMAX 21 in. 170cc 2-in-1 Gas Walk Behind Push Lawn Mower with High Rear Wheels

The YARDMAX 21-inch 170cc gas push lawn mower provides straightforward grass cutting and mulching for home yards. Powered by a 170cc gas engine, this 2-in-1 walk-behind mower handles residential lawns without relying on battery charges or power cords.

A single lever lets you switch between seven cutting heights ranging from 1.25 inches to 3.75 inches, eliminating the need to adjust each wheel individually. The cutting area features a one-piece, 16-gauge stamped steel deck designed with a spiral volute shape to improve airflow for mulching while dampening machine vibration. Rolling is made easier by double-ball-bearing wheels, featuring 7-inch front wheels and larger 11-inch rear wheels that improve stability over rough ground. The handle offers three height positions for comfortable operating angles.

As a push-style mower, keeping it moving relies entirely on physical effort rather than a self-propelled drive system. Operating a gas mower also means handling engine maintenance over time. Additionally, the manufacturer information does not specify fuel tank capacity or whether a grass catcher bag is included.

Verdict: This YARDMAX push mower is a practical choice for homeowners seeking a sturdy steel-deck mower with simple height adjustments and high rear wheels. Its folding handle and minimal assembly requirements make it a convenient option for regular lawn upkeep.
