Love my new electric mower! It cuts a narrower path than the previous (gas) mower, but it’s so light and easy to push I get done in the same amount of time. Earth-friendly, no gas fumes. Easy on my arm, no more pull cord. Powered through some thick grass. Each battery lasted about a hour, perfect! The only problem I see is it’s so light the front end comes off the ground sometimes (battery is in the back, perhaps a poor design decision). But overall I’m quite pleased.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective
I’ve been mowing with this for 7 years, and I can’t think of anything better for my needs. I have 900 square feet of Bermuda grass in Arizona, and it cuts beautifully on dry grass, though not as well when it’s wet. I bag my clippings, but the mower does drop clumps occasionally.
Pros: Convenient, Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Durable, Environmentally Safe, Effective
Wanted a new ridding lawn mower. I researched several and the zero turn was what I decided I wanted. I live in the country so running out of gas is not an option so battery powered was a great option. Have used this zero turn for 3 years now and it has been a great experience. It runs so smoothly and is durable and just as fast as a gas mower.
So far we've mowed our yard twice with this mower and are happy with it. It takes about two and a half charges to do the whole thing but it is definitely more than 3/4 of an acre! Plus, a significant portion of the mowing is the sand mound/leach field of the septic system, so a lot of slope! It does handle that slope incredibly well. If you are like me and thought battery powered mowers were just for golf course-like lawns, nope, this little fellow seems pretty rugged. It's also pretty light and agile so the flat (or sort of flat) parts of the yard, I release the self-propelled and just use it as a push mower. Hopefully that's giving me some extra battery life. As for the self propelled function, it has a nice little control on the handle so I can slow it down for thick spots, then speed it back up as the grass thins.
You can run the self-propelled function with the blades disengaged, wonderful when you're dragging your sweaty, exhausted self up the hill to the storage shed and not blasting up a ton of dust or launching rocks from your gravel driveway!!!!
