The machine is very easy to use. I can do my full 1/3 acre lawn on one of the batteries. Machine is heavy but with self propulsion there's no trouble maneuvering it.
Had it 2 years. Great mower, I have a 1/2 acre, I do back of yard using one battery, charge it while I start the front, and a water break, When the other battery runs out I swap it with the charged one. I just saw they have a riding electric. May look into it for next year, looks great.
More impressed than we imagined! This mower is fairly lightweight and 2 - 4.0A batteries is more than enough for our 1/2 acre. Very satisfied! Shipping was faster than expected.
It should be 80V for the price, a good mower besides being a little weak.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello MASaren,
Thank you for your review. We greatly appreciate your honest feedback as it gives us a better understanding of where we need to improve moving forward. We are sorry to hear that the unit has not fully met your expectations in terms of power. On your next mow, please utilize the following tips to help achieve a cleaner cut.
1) When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings. 2) Only mow 1/3 of the total grass length at a time - no more. 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. 3) Mow when the grass is dry. As this is an electric unit, mowing wet/damp grass is a safety issue. However, ensuring the grass is dry will also help the grass cut cleanly and discharge appropriately. Wet/damp grass carries more weight and will mostly stick to the blade/motor shaft and will not appropriately discharge or cut easily. 4) Make sure the battery is cool before use. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging.

Mower works perfectly. Beautiful cut. I cut a half acre on a little over one battery. Variable self propelled feature works great. So easy to use. No more gas and oil!
