Totally disappointed. Batteries only lasted for the front yard, and had to charge them and cut back yard second day, and its not a large yard. Then when I went to cut the second week, one of the batteries completely stopped working. Without the second battery, mower wont work. Customer service is impossible to get to also.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Kickngrass,
Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration as we know your time is valuable. Our team has been working tirelessly to try and get to each and every waiting customer while giving everyone the attention their request requires and deserves. We want nothing less than to be able to assist our customers as quickly as possible. As a company, we are always interested in knowing where we can further improve; we want nothing less than for our customers to be satisfied. It's important to adjust your mowing techniques to make the most out of the battery life! This unit is advertised as running up to 35 minutes but it goes without saying that that the harder the unit works, the quicker the battery drains. Here are a few mowing tips to help achieve the optimal run time. 1) When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings. 2) Only mow 1/3 of the total grass length at a time - no more. For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. The average lawn should be approximately 1 1/2 to 2” (3.8 to 5 cm) long during cool months, and between 2" to 3 1/4" (5 cm to 8.3 cm) long during hot months. 3) Mow when the grass is dry. As this is an electric unit, mowing wet/damp grass is a safety issue. However, ensuring the grass is dry will also help the grass cut cleanly and discharge appropriately. Wet/damp grass carries more weight and will mostly stick to the blade/motor shaft and will not appropriately discharge or cut easily. 4) Make sure the battery is cool before use. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging. We hope these tips will help! If not, we would be happy to investigate to see whether your run time would be considered average; please submit an email using the customer contact page on our website or give us a call at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS).

Good product but a little banged up in shipping. Ideally would want to pick up something of this size at a brick and mortar store. Took a while to ship too!
Everything has been great except for one issue on the mower. One side of the discharge door began to sag after the first mow. A screw that should be holding this in appears to have fallen out. I’m currently waiting to hear from customer service about a fix. I will update this review once I’ve heard back.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor that I knew would effect my normal outdoor activities . I enjoyed cutting grass so i decided to get a battery powered lawn mower so I wouldn’t trip on the cord until I get a little stronger. This was the best thingI ever bought. Its small enough to handle and went right thru the high grass. Came with mower, blower and edger. Great deal!
