MurrayMurray EQ2-700X self-propelled 4-in-1 22"/56cm petrol lawnmower with easy to start and powerful 750EX Briggs & Stratton engine

Excellent quality and very well made , very easy to put together and starts first time .Very easy to adjust the cut length by one leaver .The best thing is the easy clean function just start mower attach hose pipe turn on and in one minute the blade and the bottom is so clean you could eat your dinner off it .

Item delivered on time and without any problems. Assembly easy. On first use the mower dug into the lawn because the height adjustment broke due a faulty weld rendering the mower useless. I followed the amazon system for return, which directed me to the company system. This I followed with no result. Murray is owned by the engine manufacturer Briggs and Stratton; neither of these companies offer any means of contact, so I am just left, From my perspective this a rogue system, do not buy Murray products.

I purchased the 500x Gen 2 at the beginning for the year. Delivery was fast and right to the garage door - very heavy box!Instructions for this lawnmower are dreadful. Several instruction books are included which have difficult to understand diagrams and hardly any text. It took me nearly 2 hours to get this built and up and running - a lot of guess work required. Still not clear on some aspects of maintenance as simply not shown anywhere. This is my first petrol mower so if you are a more seasoned owner set up may be simpler. Also looked around for spare parts - have to go through a third party whose website is pretty poor - makes me a bit nervous about ongoing maintenance.Once filled with oil and petrol I set off for the first cut. It does a reasonable job, but the powered wheels do move quite quickly and the speed can’t be adjusted so you have to work at the speed of the lawnmower. It’s quite heavy to manoeuvre once the drive wheels are disengaged - but I guess this is true of most petrol mowers.I find that it doesn’t cut to the edge of the wheels so have had to learn to cut slightly over the last pass to get an even surface. It doesn’t really do stripes which is a shame.Our front garden is quite lumpy and this put quite a strain on the handle resulting in the plastic insert on the green plastic handle joints disintegrating. The handle is actually more robust without the inserts so not a disaster.The engine starts pretty well, and can handle some fairly tall grass without stalling. The grass collection box is pretty sizeable which means fewer trips to the compost heap. Being able to use the hose fitting to wash out the underside is an added bonus. Comes with lots of accessories for mulching etc. which is useful.I would cautiously recommend this lawnmower. If you have a fairly flat lawn with few tricky areas to manoeuvre around then I think this would suit well. I’m not sure how long this will really last, it doesn’t feel as robust as my old Bosch electric mower which was considerably cheaper.

This mower gives the best cut I have ever had from a mower. Really appreciate the wash port which I have never seen before. Keeps the underside of the machine squeaky clean.

Well made, efficient and easy to use

The belt drive came off after just one season's use. Not happy! Even less happy when I find that there are no instructions for refitting same. Incandescent when I find that Murray seems unable to provide (or even specify) a replacement for a possibly faulty belt.

What a cracking machine, easy to put together just two bolts to fix the handlebar, add the engine oil (not supplied), fuel up, no air pump to press, and started on the second pull. It's a smooth drive even without the self-forward mode. very large grass box, clean cut.

Mower seems really good and I’ve used it multiple times this summer since purchasing it. There was a problem where the drive belt slipped off and so the self-propelling feature wasn’t working, but the customer support was fantastic and they gave me the option to send it off for repair under warranty, or some detailed instructions for how to fix it myself. Problem is now solved and still happy with the mower.
