I have to mow about a 1/4 acre and I have no problem with the battery running out of power. Someitme's I do have to go over the grass twice when it is thicker. I mostly have only used in the mulch configuration. I will be starting to use the rear bagger fairly soon and see if it cuts better with the bagger than mulching. If not, I will switch to the side chute and cut the clippings twice on the last pass. I really like this mower for the storage, no hassle of gas or oil, and that I can switch the battery between my weed eater and mower. Will probably buy Pro next time.
I got these mower a few weeks ago and love how quiet it is. I like how lite weight and easy it is to handle around my yard. The blade height is very easy to adjust, much easier than a typical gas mower and being able to store the mower upright is a huge space saver. I have not had any issues with the battery, but I only need to mow for about 30 minutes. I enjoy how the mower saves power when its cutting grass that doesn't require as much power. Overall, I really enjoy this mower.
I purchased this lawn mower about 3 months ago, and so far, so good. The main reason I purchased this mower was because of it's battery size (60 volt) and because it folds upright for storage (I have very limited garage space, and needed a lawn mower that can leave a small footprint).
I only mow about 900 sq ft (townhome front and back lawn), and this mower handles it easily and well, and only uses about half of it's battery power. I have encountered the feature that speeds up/slows down the blade speed, depending on height and thickness of the grass. It hasn't been a negative issue so far (and to be fair, I do appreciate the mower having smart capabilities to conserve and extend the battery life when needed), although I wish there was a way to override it, or manually select the blade speed when desired.
The mower is well designed, with the ability to lift/lower the deck height made very easy and simple, and the controls/ergonomics are fairly standard. I've only had the mower for a few months, so I can't speak to durability, although the components seem well made. The deck seems like its made of slightly thinner gage metal, but i don't see that being an issue with longevity. My biggest concern is how long the battery will keep a useful charge. And For the price point, I would expect the mower to have self propelled features, although I understand why it wouldn't, to save battery power.
Net-Net, the mower is a little more expensive than a gas mower which may have slightly more features. But I value the ability for this mower to fold and store manually, and it's just as powerful as it's gas powered counterparts while being significantly quieter.
Highly recommend, assuming the battery life doesn't suddenly degrade in an undue amount of time (I will be disappointed if it begins to hold less of a charge inside of three years of moderate use; moderate use defined as utilization once week during the spring/summer/fall, and storage during the winter).
I purchased this mower about a month ago. The mower is nice and quiet. Now that the Bermuda is getting thick I am having trouble with the cut quality. The mower blade speed stays at a slower speed until a point when the grass get thick it goes to a higher blade speed. Then it cuts good. This feature I assume is there to conserve battery power. The problem is before it goes to high the cut quality goes bad and I have to recut a lot of grass because of low blade speed in thicker grass. There should be an override switch to let the OPERATOR decide when the higher blade tip speed is needed. For this reason and battery performance I would not buy again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
