Nice electric mower, but short battery life experienced during my first cut

Overall a nice lawn mower. Cutting quality was even and consistent and i like the single handle blade height adjustment. Easier than a gas mower to maneuver. My only complaint is the poor battery life I've experienced so far. I have a regular, flat city lot of approximately 4,000 sq feet of grass. My first time cutting it with the 2 brand new 4.0ah batteries fully charged for 48 hours prior to mowing only lasted for 1/2 of my yard or approximately 20-25 minutes of cutting. Fortunately the batteries charged up rather quickly (~15-20 minutes), but i expected to be able to do my whole lawn with one charge.
Bought this mower for my wife. The backyard is her domain, she absolutely loves it so far- no more being frustrated from not being able to get the gas mower started and much lighter as well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my lawn mower, it cuts great and mows the whole yard with only 1 charge on the battery .it starts so easy to , no string to pull no gas needed .i would recommend this to anyone .i love this lawn mower.
This self-propelled mower has so much torque and speed, I have no problem with the grade in our backyard. The 60 volt, 21 in blade mower is more than I imagined. Great mower.
Better than my old Craftsman gasoline mower so far. I have had the ability to repair my old mower for many years so I will see if this battery mower will last as long. It cuts better in tall and strong grasses and doesn’t stall. I am sure this is because it can’t flood, but just keeps going. The 60V 5A battery is sufficient for just under 1 hour now but took several charges to get this way. The first full charge only lasted 20 minutes. So give the battery time to break in. I want a second battery but it only takes about 45 minutes to charge and since this is a push mower that recharge time gives me time to rest too and the mower to cool. I let the battery cool for about 15 minutes before recharging it anyway. The mulching blade is nice but I see better battery and power on the side discharge. I haven’t tried the bagger yet as I live in a rural setting and really see no reason to bag and dump all day in this environment.
Very solid construction with this mower with the steel cutting deck. Have a smallish lot (5000 sq ft) but it is a corner lot so more area to cover than normal. Have mowed twice and haven’t even gotten through fully depleting 1 of the batteries so far on each mow. Very easy to clean and store after using with the easy fold away function. Batteries charge very fast. I’d say full charge achieved within an hour tops. Highly recommend.
