J.D. Power and Associates Reports:

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.: 27 April 2011 —
Although lawn mower ease of use is the most important element contributing to overall satisfaction, more than 90 percent of owners indicate ease of use is not their primary consideration when making their purchase decision, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2011 Walk-Behind Lawn Mower StudySM released today.

The study finds that, in 2011, only 8 percent of walk-behind lawn mower owners say that they based their purchase decision on the mower’s ease of use, which includes how easy the mower is to start; push and propel; how well the mower maneuvers in difficult spaces; ease of bagging cut grass; and ease of adjusting controls. Price, past experience with a brand and brand reputation are cited most frequently as primary purchase considerations.

“The lawn mower brands that perform highest in overall satisfaction are also those that are rated highest for ease of use,” said Christina Cooley, senior manager of the real estate and construction industries practice at J.D. Power and Associates. “Lawn mower shoppers basing their decision on past experience are indirectly factoring in ease of use into selecting a brand.  If the mower that the customer is replacing wasn’t easy to use, other manufacturers definitely have the opportunity to attract and capture that customer by touting the features that make their mowers easy to use.”
