This is my first battery powered mower. The battery life actually exceeded my expectation. My lawn is around 13000 sq.ft. and it took me around 50-60 minutes to mow. I usually use up just one 4AH battery plus maybe 10% of second battery. The mower is quiet and powerful. Feel the self-propelled is a must have. Two complaints so far: the self propelled function is still engaged for a couple of seconds even when you released the handle, locking the rear wheel makes it hard to turn. plus it is rear wheel drive which is less convenient to front wheel in my opinion. Second minor complaint is seems in the side discharge mode, it throws the clipping closer compared to my previous gas mower, but this is minor issue. The self-propelled issue is sometimes kind of annoying.
Fantastic! Not only is electric so much more dependable and efficient, this mower has much better design than my previous gas lawn tractor. Is heavy duty, it has more cutting height range, more cutting power and more speed.
I used to mow my yard with a push-mower, and it would take me about six hours to get everything done (including bagging and weedeating). Since I got this riding mower, my lawncare time is down to about an hour. Instead of dreading the time and effort I needed to spend on the yard, now I can play a podcast and get the whole yard done before it ends.
This is an excellent product. We have used it several times to mow our ~2 acre yard and it has worked flawlessly. Very easy user interface. My 9 and 12 year-old children vie for the opportunity to mow. Plenty of power, the battery life meets expectations, very clean cut. The only negative that I have is traction. At some point I may put a slightly more aggressive set of drive tires on it.
