I was skeptical at first about battery mowers since I have a neighbor who will only use gas powered. I'm trying to convince him otherwise! I researched a lot and found that the battery life on this mower and features all matched what I needed. Once I got it, I was pleasantly surprised that I did not need ear plugs NOR a face mask with this thing since it doesn't kick up tons of dirt and debris like my old one did. It also lasts for my entire 1/2 acre lot with just the 5 ah battery. Color me impressed! It is hard to find a con, really. I mean, you can get cheaper mowers, but this one is worth the price for me.
Works on hills, uneven terrain, and everywhere else. The 2 acre hilly lot takes 2 batteries, but thats fine. No fuel, oil gas mix, smell, or irritating noise is worth it.
The mulch shoot clogged a few times mowing grass above 6 inches, but it performed better than I expected, what wouldn't choke on tall grass
Additionally it does not have any smart features or other nonsense. It's a lawn mower, that pushes itself, that can bag or mulch, powered by battery. It's not trying to get to the internet, sell my data, or be something its not.
I have been using this product for a few months. I have 3/4 of an acre and in the past used a gas tractor. There were so many small areas around trees and a smaller front yard, and this lawn mower is so easy, I rather walk the yard a few times a week, than mess with the gas riding tractor. The battery life is fine for the time I allow . I recently bought and used the long pole hedge trimmer with battery that can be used in the lawn mower. I am sold on your products.
Tuesday night I read the manual for my new mower as I previously had a gas mower. Am I glad I did, as battery powered mowers operately differently. On Wednesday I mowed my grass for the first time, and everything went flawless. I didn’t have to empty the bag nearly as often, as the mower does a much better job of mulching the grass. Also, since I can store the mower on vertically, I don’t have move my car to get the mower out of my garage, keeping my car cool. The best part is no longer having to pull on a starter rope, as these mowers are electric start. I hosed the underside of the mower housing with the mower in the vertical position, so I could see what I was doing and the grass from the underside of the mower was washed onto the lawn, so their was no further cleanup. It felt good knowing I was not contributing to the pollution in the atmosphere.
Cuts better than our gas mower, is lighter than our gas mower, easy to push without self propulsion, 5 ah and 4 ah batteries lasted 80 minutes, low maintenance, very happy with this mower, thank you!
Tighten the plastic fasteners on the sides because they will loosen and fall off. I chose this model so the battery power was being used just to turn the mower blade. It is light and easy to push and I don’t have any hills so the self propelled version was not needed. I do not have the self propelled version.
