My husband is 6'5, will he have to hunch over to use this? That's his biggest complaint with any mower. Thanks!

The handle attaches at a pivot point and will lift up a few inches. I'm 6'00" tall and it works great for me. I stood on a step and the handle was still at a comfortable angle, but you do loose some of the ease of pushing in the forward direction because the handles are closer to being directly over the wheels. I hope this helps.

I'm only 5'11" but I find this to have a more upright posture. The ergonomics are different from a gas mower. This can easily be pushed with one hand and you're not limited to just one position to push it. For example, in easy, thin grass, I've stood up straight and a bit to the side of the mower while pushing with one hand.

Yeah I am 5 ft 1 inch too and thinking of getting it, will it be ok for me? My husband is 6 ft will it be a hassle adjusting each time we want to use it?

My husband is 6'1" and I am 5'5" so we have a pretty good separation as well. My husband says that this stroller is the most comfortable we had tried and I haven't had any trouble with it being too high or uncomfortable for my hands either. I do not think you can adjust the handle height (or if you can, it's not obvious and we haven't tried) but neither myself, my husband, or any of our family members have been uncomfortable with it.

My husband is 5'11" and uses the wand and says it is not an issue. He stands up and kills the weeds with ease. We love the red dragon.

I have no idea. I will be 71 in October and I had no problem mowing with it nor putting it up on a 6 inches pallet that I store it on. Of course, I tilt the mower up and onto the pallet. Even with loss of muscle tone and strength, I am quite pleased with the mower and my ability to manever it.

A "little bit". I am 6'1" and I do have to stoop a little with maximum extension. Depending on what power you're using, the battery won't last but 30 to 45 minutes so it's not too hard on the back. This is a good machine in spite of its shortcomings and I have really put it through its paces. We trim under electric fences on the ranch through 18" tall Bahia grass and it DOES THE JOB !

I am only 5'2" and my husband is 5'6" and it works WONDERFULLY for both of us! I wish we had done it sooner!!!! :) Hope that helps!

I will add that I never set my mowing height lower than half way, as cutting most grasses too short is not good for them. In such a case if you accidentally run the over the cord with the mower it will not get cut (but you should try to avoid this).

No the handle is not adjustable for taller people. However it is high enough that if you walk with your elbows at your waist I don't think it would cause you to hunch over. I am 5 ft tall and I have to hold my arms out at a higher ratio to my body than my husband (5' 8") does. Neither of us has a problem with the height of the handles. We love this stroller. We wore out the first one (took 4 1/2 years) and love it so much that we bought an identical one. I hope this helps you.

My husband is 6'1" and he is very comfortable. It's a great machine. Use it nearly every day!

My husband is 6'1 and has never complained when using this stroller. I'm only 5'4 and don't have ant issues either.

I'm 6'1" and did not have any problem with the length. I'm 77 and use it to control weeds in the next door lot that I own. I've only used it a few times but did NOT feel sore from bending over.

You cannot adjust how far the handle is from the mower. However, you can adjust the angle it is from the ground. There is a lot of float there anyway in that, the setting I use for mowing also allows me to set it straight up for storage.

I am 5'8" and have no problem bending over into the handle--and the stroller is really easy to handle. I have had no trouble kicking the stroller but I think that is controlled by how far you push the stroller in front of you--controlled by your arms. I don't think you would have to adjust your stride. Also my dog is an 80 lb tripod so the stroller I have is the large one.I don't know if that makes a difference or not--but the stroller is great

My father is 6'2, and he has to hunch down a bit even though it is set at the tallest setting. Its light weight, but requires a big trunk. He is hoping to find a taller one as the hunching forward aggravates his arthritic back.

I don't have it in front of me, but I am 5'6" and it hits me a little above waist high, if I remember correctly. My husband uses it to dig shallow trenches as well as to edge the sidewalks and driveway, and he likes it very much. It is well made and very sturdy, and has a good surface to place your foot on. It cuts through our clay soil and grass with relative ease--as much as a manual implement can do!

Not a problem for me, as I cut my grass at the shortest height. Wasn't a problem at the beginning when I was trying various cutting heights. My handle is stiff and hard to move, so I can't see it jumping out of its notch. Is your handle installed correctly?
