I am a single mom and a small business owner, mowing the grass is something I don't have time for. I hope my perspective can help potential buyers like me who don't love mowing. I was thrilled to find an electric mower with longer battery life for a large yard. The batteries charge quickly and swap out as many times as needed to get the whole yard done. Since I hate mowing I started on the lowest blade setting to cut the grass short, it left sorched earth. So start at a high setting and go down, it is simple to adjust. The mower is extremely light weight and quiet. I fell like I'm pushing a toy mower, yet it mows great. The bag picks up grass very well unless the bag gets too full or if the blade setting is low (probably too low). I love not inhaling the exhaust and be deafened by the motor of my old gas mower. This mower performs well, is environmentally friendly and so easy to operate, I will never go back to a gas mower!
Pros: Quite, light, easy roll, easy turn, easy start, quick charge. Cons: Heavy and large battery, only cuts grass, no suction power, light clean up, small bagger.

4 stars because it is an electric mower that did a quality job of mowing a large yard for an hour and twenty five minutes straight without running out of battery. That is a cool feat, and the environmental benefits and also not having the noise and fumes of burning gas while mowing is great. Not 5 stars because the acceleration is poor on the self-propelled drive - top speed is good, but really when you're mowing you want it to take off quickly when you corner and it doesn't do that well.
I love this lawnmower, although it is not quite as powerful as a gas lawnmower, it is sufficient enough & gets the job done mighty fine. Also I love the light weight & ease of operation, & if you get the other line of products like me, you won’t have to worry about having to use gas ever again, because where the gas prices are headed you don’t want anything else. I did extensive research & this is the best for both performance & handling of any battery operated lawn mower out there. Suggest getting an extra 5amp battery & using that one to start so you won’t have to change it in the middle of mowing your yard, & then you can always use the other for a backup if you ever need; & also buy an extra lawnmower blade in case it happened to break if you were to run over something like a big rock or tree limb & so you don’t have to worry about leaving your lawn unfinished. Also, they have good customer service & strive hard to support their products & make their customers happy.
