I had a Billy Goat Homepro 34, and one of the things I didn't like about it was that the blades weren't timed (one is in front of the other a bit), so if you turned one direction sometimes there was a bit of uncut grass in between the blades. If you could try it out (even just at the person's house or the place you are buying it from) I would do that, because some people aren't very fond of the homeowner wide area walk behind mowers.
