1) when putting the two parts of the handle together I had to carve off part of the plastic to get it to fit 2) I should have checked before I bought but the cost to replace the batteries is almost as much as a new mower. I sure hope they last a lot longer than the warranty 3). I can cut my lawn in an hour and 10 minutes and still have one light lit on the charge indicator 4) it cuts well I am happy with it
I've used the mower 3 times and for the most part, love it. It's light, quiet, and has plenty of power. I love that it stores upright. My yard is between 1/4 & 1/3 acre and there is more than enough battery life to do a mowing. The batteries don't seem to take long to charge either. My only complaint and it's very minor, is that I don't think it mulches the grass quite as much as I'd like.
Mower works well and cuts and bags grass good. The only item I see right now is when I release the self propel it Thales a few seconds for the wheels to be released so I cannot push mower until wheel is released.
I believe generally it's a great product. But I might have received a dud battery. First 5 minute, all beeping, and no more charge in 8 minutes. When I plugged it back to the charger, it is with the RED indicator, I don't think it's a good signs. I tried to charge it a few more time, sometimes it's green and sometime it's red. Initiated a call with them, but two weeks, no reply.

Hello RH L
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear about the experience you have encountered with the battery. Here are a few troubleshooting suggestions to check out. 1) When the battery is inserted, the light should begin flashing green to indicate the battery is charging. If this light is not igniting or is flashing red, this may indicate an issue and we would be interested in hearing more about this. If the light simply goes solid red, try removing the battery and unplugging the charger for about 10 minutes and place them both indoors in a room temperature setting, as this might indicate the battery is at the incorrect temperature to be charged. 2) Ensure that the battery has been fully inserted into the charger. Sometimes this requires a firm push into place to make sure that it has been properly seated. 3) Try resetting the charger. To do this, simply unplug it for approximately 10 minutes and then plug it back in and try reinserting the battery. If the charger has been plugged in for extended periods of time, this can sometimes cause the charger to malfunction. We are happy to hear you have imitated a inquiry to our Customer Care department.

I bought the mower because I do my own yard and no longer want to do the oil changes and gassing up for my old mower. I have a zoysia front yard and St Augustine back and side yard. The ProV Brushless 21" self propelled battery-powered mower works like a charm on both types of grass. After days of rain my yard has been higher then normal. The mower cuts perfectly.
