- A good number of users appreciated that the mower could cut against the fence line because the deck extends beyond its wheels.

Bottom Line
The Husqvarna HU700L houses a 160cc Honda engine offering reliable start up and professional looking cuts. The mower’s variable speed self-propel system and adjustable padded handles made mowing comfortable for most. The mower, however was difficult to maneuver in reverse. Also, the lack of a stock mulching blade and the mower leaving a line of unpleasing cut grass when mulching left some buyers to prefer cutting or bagging. With all that said, the Husqvarna HU700L’s generous list of features is still more than enough to get the job done.
