Really love the ease of use and comfortability. Battery life is as advertised. I can mow my .3 acre lot with about 1-1.5 battery charge. It's quieter than my gas mower for sure and so much easier to maintain. My only complaint is that it just doesn't make an even cut. Every pass I make I'm left with longer blades of grass left behind and I have to make additional passes. I never cut more than 1/3 of the grass height off. Currently using the mulching blades. I haven't tried using the max lift blades that come with, but it's my understanding that's supposed to be used for bagging, which I'm not looking to do (plus I don't want to drain the batteries faster).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello johndoe75
Thank you for your honest feedback! If the grass is too tall try raising the cutting height and reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings. 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. Hope this suggestion help! However, if this suggestion does not resolve the issue you have had, we would be interested in hearing more about this issue. 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.
Quiet. Works great and so easy. I’m a girl and this makes mowing enjoyable. So grateful to have tried this brand. I have the mower, weed whipper, edger and blower. Love them all
Other than being quiet, there's nothing to like about this mower. There is no hose cleanout, the handle is too long, it does not like curves and slow is way too slow, fast is way too fast. Apparently they've never read Goldilocks.

Hello Newburgh Chip,
Thank you for your honest feedback! We are sorry to hear that your purchase fell below expectations. While the handle cannot physically be shortened, it can be locked into two different positions. One position is more suitable for taller individuals while the other is suited towards smaller user. The self-propelled drive system with variable speed rear-wheel drive lets you easily tackle any terrain and you can operate the unit without the self-propelled feature simply do not pull the lever associated with the propelling feature and the unit will not propel forward. Nonetheless, would like to hear more about your experience to see how we can do better in the future. Please give our Customer Care team a call at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). Thank you for your feedback!
