Bought it for my dad since he was getting tired of pushing his push mower uphill. He reports it is working great! his heart rate showed a significant drop when mowing with the new mower. He did say it took him a few mows to get used to the controls, but now he is loving it, and it sounds like he is able to mow the entire yard without even cutting over to the 2nd battery! Two thumbs up from this family!
I bought this after years of push mowing a half acre lot. I now mow my lawn and both neighbors on either side for about an acre and a quarter total with about 30% battery Left. Super quiet particularly on low blade Speed and was able to adjust the handles and seat for comfortable use (6' tall big guy). Slips a little if the ground is a bit soft so if you have slopes give it 2-3 days after a rain. Also using it with a couple tow behind items and it handles well
I unpacked the lawnmower, and put it together per instructions, but the self-propel wouldn't work from the get-go.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have about an acre to mow, when I combine all the yards. Admittedly, I’m a fast worker, so take it with a grain of salt when I say that I can just about do everything on one charge. First time through, getting to know the machine and such, I took my time and in doing so, the battery needed charging a little over halfway through. The machine is very quiet compared to the little gas-powered one that I had been using—a porcupine had gnawed through the gas tank; I just need to find that porcupine and thank him or her for quickening my transition to electric. So far, I’ve mowed three times with this new machine and I’m impressed. Super happy about the purchase.
The batteries used the first time mowing was 1 1/4 packs; the second time I lowered the deck and it took 2 1/4 packs and once I determined the right deck height and speed setting (about 1/2), it consistently requires 1 1/4 packs of batteries for approximately 6500 square feet of Saint Augustine & Bahia mix. The blades maintain sharpness after 5 mowings. It is easy maintenance, cleaning and storage plus there is no smell and it is relatively quiet. Overall I rate this mower 5 of 5 stars!!!
Have been using for a month and couldn't be happier. The 25 In cutting path is a time saver. Mower is quiet yet powerful. With the two included batteries I haven't come close to running out of power. Charging is quick and easy. Have used both in bagging mode and mulching with good results. Would Highly recommend as upgrade from previous battery mower. Storage is easy and compact.
