After one year, mine has issue with propelled system. Not sure why yet. Hope it will be simple fix. Nothing last forever but one year is too quick i guess. I used to have Honda (gas) and its propelled had issue too after 4 years

The batteries are massive but only hold a charge for 20 minutes. Poor to bad handling when using self drive.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello freetibet,
We are sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with the run time of this battery when used in this lawn mower. This unit dual-port auto switchover lawn mower provides up to 60-minutes of uninterrupted runtime when used with two 5.0 Ah batteries. It is important to adjust your mowing techniques to make the most out of the battery life, 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. 5) Only use the self-propelled feature when needed. 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). All we ask that you have access to the unit so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information.
Bought this mower to cut my sloping 1 1/2 acres rough cleared mountain site. The mower handles the slope easily, even when having to cut straight uphill. The twin batteries switched over flawlessly and powered the mower longer than I wanted to cut in a single session.
Perfect, so far, for our yard. Battery lasts for our lawn (1500 sq ft) for two lawn mows. The electric mower is much lighter than our old gas mower. Happy so far.
I love this mower! Just used it for the first time. Mowed about 1750sf in about half an hour and the 60volt/5.0ah battery still had half its charge left. This included mowing some tall new sod that was being mowed for the first time this spring. Plenty of power, not too loud, easy to adjust the height, and easy to remove/empty the clipping bag. Plus, no cord!!!
there is a lot to like about this battery mower...I like having 2 batteries, the wider cut path, and quick and easy start...also it's easy to clean since you can stand it up to clean the bottom. The mulching action is ok, I wouldn't let the grass get too high. The turbo function definitely makes better mulching, but it eats up the battery much quicker. It works for me, I like not having to deal with oil and gas, and the other items I mentioned. I'm satisfied with the purchase.
