Quality mower!

I just finished mowing with this mower for the first time and I must say that I am very happy with it so far. From the ease of assembly to the well designed way that the mower collapses, this mower has been well thought out. I have a nice thick lawn and the mower handled the grass with ease. I tried the turbo just to give it a test ride and it was very powerful, bit the lower power setting was more than ample for my yard. It took me 45 minutes to mow my yard and the first battery still had a partial charge and the second battery was untapped. The mower deck, handle, batteries, and pretty much everything on this mower looks and feels like a good quality product should. It is actually lighter than my old gasoline powered mower and is so easy to push that I didn’t even end up using the self propelled function to mow. I’ve only mowed with it once but I would definitely recommend this mower so far.
Great power and design. I have had excellent battery life and really impressed to see that I can typically mow my fairly large lawn two times with one set of batteries. The self propelled feature is also very easy to use and had a wide speed range.
Way more power than expected. I have a steep hill in the front yard so self propelled was a must. And this has enough power to easily make it up the hills. We also found we never made it to the second battery in mowing the entire lawn. The turbo feature also allowed me to mulch a large pile of leaves without stalling.
This is my very first electric lawnmower and I will never go back to gas! I ordered it online and waited longer than I should have to cut my lawn in anticipation of getting it. When it arrived my grass was probably about 5-6” tall. I had my doubts that an electric lawnmower would be able to handle the job but it went right through the grass without hesitation. It’s quiet, no gas, no oil, and no jerking on starter cords! I couldn’t be happier!
This is my first jump into the 60 volt products, and it’s a good one. I figured this mower would be fairy quiet, but it beat expectations. It has all the bells and whistles. Headlights, stores upright, different speed self propel, bag or mulch, and crazy easy to start. Two batteries gives it so much run time, and it only took one to mow my whole yard. Awesome product.
I purchased this mower in February of 2021 when it became available after being unavailable for most of 2020. I believe this mower has been updated from the original design slightly. It also now comes with 2, 4 amp batteries and a dual battery charger which is a great upgrade from the original... oddly, the price came down too.
The mower overall is a nice unit. It is solidly built and well engineered, much more than i had anticipated. My original idea was that i wouldn't even use the self propelled feature at all..... on the first use it became obvious that this thing is a bit heavy for that. Luckily, the self propelled feature works well and is actually fast enough to keep up with my normal spirited mowing speed. It did take some getting used to however as you must let off the throttle a couple of seconds before you get to the end of your run because the back wheels will lock up and you will not be able to pull the mower backwards for those few seconds.... minor issue. The 25" wide cut path is AWESOME ! It really cuts down on the mow time. Battery usage is good. I have a 1/4 acre yard that has a dense turf and it used up 1 battery and 25% of the second.
My only real complaint, hence my rating, is the cut quality. I assumed that with two blades it would have a fantastic cut quality... it does not. I am probably overly particular about this, but it leaves noticeable missed grass blades on every row. I have decided to stop being so critical about such things and just accept it for what it is. The blades themselves are short and the cutting edge on them is even shorter. I immediately took them off the mower and sharpened them as i feel the thick factory paint dulls the edge. NOTE.. one shaft on the mower has reversed threads( right side if you are behind the mower looking down on it) The blades are considerably thinner than gas mowers and the steel grinds easier (softer steel ?) they were knife sharp on my mow and didn't take any noticeable damage even though i ran over several small sticks 1/8" or less. My guess here is that the shortness of the cutting edges impedes the cut quality.... just a guess, i'm not an engineer.
