[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a difficult review to write because we love the idea of this electric mower BUT the run time just is not what is advertised or claimed.
We have given the Maximus Z over 32 hours of use so far and we can confidently say this mower is meant to be for less than an acre with the lowest blade and speed setting. It is not meant for farm use over an acre which is what we purchased it for. It cannot even do 2 acres on flat ground on lowest setting. I feel like there is some serious false advertising claiming that it can do up to 5 acres. Yeah maybe over 5 days with 5 charges in between with at least 3 hours for a full charge each time.
We find ourselves looking for a gas powered machine that can handle a longer run time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this mower 3 weeks ago, and I actually enjoy mowing my grass now. It’s very powerful and the battery lasts long enough to mow my entire 1 acre lawn with battery to spare. Highly recommend. AAAA+++++

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I lost my husband and now I am left todo ll the yard work. I decided to buy an electric mower instead of a gas mower. It was very easy to set up and push up and down a sloped yard . I would definitely recommend this to any widow 50+ wanting to take care of their own yard.
