I inherited it from my folks when they moved overseas. For a small yard, it's pretty easy.
Upsides:
Less noise.
Less pollution.
No power used.
Almost maintenance free, very durable.
Light, takes up little space in the garage.
Downsides:
Not the best or most even cut.
Hard to work around irregularities in the lawn.
Takes longer (but only 30 minutes for my yard).
Harder to use on tall grass (but not impossible).
Twigs jam the blades very suddenly, annoying to have to keep removing them.
My yard is small, not too complicated, and in places it grows very little, so this type of mower is pretty good. I would no doubt get better results with a power mower, but I for the Husqvarna for free, and why pay for a power mower if you don't really need it?
