Quiet Mower, Nice Cut, Bad Battery Run Time

I was looking for the 82v commercial 25" mower, but it is only available at authorized retailers. There are none within 100 miles of me. So, I thought I would try this one. I used the mower twice so far with a fully charged 4ah and 2ah battery. I had run times of 54 minutes and 48 minutes, using the self-propelled feature roughly half of that time. The mower cuts well, but the advertised up to 100 minute run time (90 minutes listed further down on the website) is no where near accurate for actual cutting. Customer service did agree to send an additional 2ah battery, but that only gets me to roughly 68 minutes.
Love this thing!! It’s efficient, QUIET, intuitive to use, effortless to start/stop, and the construction is high-quality... feels like the future of lawn tools.
This is the first review I’ve ever submitted for anything (I paid full price too, no demo bias here), and I’m doing it because I truly think it’s awesome. I was interested in reducing my carbon emissions (lawn equipment is very polluting), and it does that while being super quiet (like talk to my wife on the porch in a normal voice while mowing quiet), and clean (no gas-smelling clothes... I’ve literally mowed in my pajamas). I’ve had it for 3 weeks and already had 2 neighbors ask me about it!
So happy with my purchase... highly recommend this mower!!
recently purchased this mower and I have to say I am completely blown away by its performance. I wasn't sure it would keep up with a gas powered mower but after mowing my lawn I have become a believer. I'm going to be getting the weed eater next to replace my gas one asap. If you have any doubts take the plunge and switch to battery powered, you won't be disappointed
I just used my mower for the first time yesterday. I cut on a little over of a third of an acre with a lower level walkout, so I have some decent slopes I have to manage, and it managed the hills wonderfully. The mower did a great job cutting, it was great having the wider deck which cut down my cut time from a 21 inch deck it replaced. It took me about an hour and fifteen minutes and the batteries were pretty close to being done, but I probably used more power because of the hills. The self propulsion moves at a very good pace and does a good cut. The ease of raising and lower the deck height is pretty awesome, it makes changing the height near curbs and sidewalks easy and prevents scalping the lawn.
The only downside I see to this mower was that I have a lot of cut ins, which require me to go from self propulsion to manual, and several times as I transitioned, I mistakenly eased up on the mower handle at the same time as the propulsion handle, since they are squeezed by the same hand, and if you ease up on the mower at all, the engine cuts off. It's easy to restart, and I think its a beginner user error more than anything else, but that would be my one initial concern, and don't see it as enough of an issue to change my review.
I do have a trimmer and backpack blower as well, and an edger attachment is on its way to me. I bought the trimmer with battery, but opted not to buy any batteries for the backpack blower. I haven't used the trimmer yet, assuming I can edge and trim on the 2.0 battery and then cut, I can charge that battery while mowing and have enough charge to run the backpack blower after, given that I used up a little more mower battery than I thought I would, I may have to think about getting one more battery to make sure I can do a complete yard maintenance from start to finish without waiting on batteries.
I am very pleased with my mower. I have a 1/2 acre tall fescue yard with a long steep drainage ditch down one side. I mow it in the tallest setting and only use the self propelled feature going up hill. It tackled my whole yard on one charge, it takes me right at 1 hour to mow using mulching plate. I have mowed my yard for 20 years now with a 22" gas mower without self propel. It is really nice to not have to buy gas or do maintenance other than clean the mower and charge batteries. The other thing I really like is how little space it takes up when stored. I have two kids with bicycles, dirt bike, four wheeler, wife's car, and my tools it garage it fits right up against the wall with no problem.
Just purchased and ran this mower. It was packed well and was easy to put together. Storage is great. Loved the battery meter on the handle, as well as the easy speed shifting. Haven't used turbo mode for much yet, but it worked well. The product is sturdy and well made and was able to overcome thicker grass and twigs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lawnmower is so easy to assemble. Pull handle up from the base, slide into arm supports and screw into place. Done and ready to go! I like that it has a speed control using the icons of a rabbit for faster and a turtle for slower. The batteries took a few hours to charge as expected and are easy to insert as they will only go in one way! I would recommend that the red key be attached by a cable of some sort so as not to ever lose the key. Also the other thing that could become an issue - the handles inside contain the cables for the self propel. But there is also a screw that goes into the handle to connect it to the frame. The problem I see that could happen is if the screw clips the cable it could damage the self propel feature. Just a safety issue I thought of . But I like that the mower does come with a mulcher if I wanted to use that. It is easy to operate altho it took me a bit to get comfortable with the handles. There are three handles if you will. The regular handle you grip to control the mower. The green handles to start and keep it running and they grey handles to engage the self propel. It’s not difficult once you remember what handles do what. It pivots relatively easy, just release the self propel handle - grey one. The two batteries lasted long enough to cut both the front yard and the back yard and my yard looks great! Overall a great lawnmower ! Highly recommend.
I bought this about a month ago and it does a great job! I have a relatively large yard and the two batteries give me just enough time to get it cut. Love it!
