Love the idea and the design, but just didn't work well

I haven't had grass I'm 20 years, and I was excited to see there were electric mowers now. I wish it actually worked better though. To be fair, the grass was pretty full by the time I attempted to now it. It just struggled to mow the grass and the batteries died in about 10 minutes. I'll give it another try, but now I have this long grass and some dread of having to use this thing 10 minutes at a time to mow my lawn. Kind of a bummer...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello SL2022,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the run time of this battery when used in this lawn mower. It is important to adjust your mowing techniques to make the most out of the battery life! This unit is advertised as running up to 45 minutes of run-time* with 2 fully charged 4.0 Ah USB Batteries, but it goes without saying that that the harder the unit works, the quicker the battery drains. Here are a few mowing tips to help achieve the optimal run time. 1) When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings. 2) Only mow 1/3 of the total grass length at a time - no more. For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. The average lawn should be approximately 1 1/2 to 2” (3.8 to 5 cm) long during cool months, and between 2" to 3 1/4" (5 cm to 8.3 cm) long during hot months. 3) Mow when the grass is dry. As this is an electric unit, mowing wet/damp grass is a safety issue. However, ensuring the grass is dry will also help the grass cut cleanly and discharge appropriately. Wet/damp grass carries more weight and will mostly stick to the blade/motor shaft and will not appropriately discharge or cut easily. 4) Make sure the battery is cool before use. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging. We hope these tips will help! If not, we would be happy to investigate to see whether your run time would be considered average; please submit an email using the customer contact page on our website or give us a call at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). All we ask that you have access to the unit so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information.
Great lawn more for my yard. 1/4 acre is mowed easily even at its thickest. Haven't been able to get my batteries to show full charge when installed but it's still plenty enough to mow my lawn.
Self Propelled is an AWESOME feature making cutting the grass much easier!

I bought this electric lawnmower March 22. Finally able to use it in April due to weather. I absolutely love the way the lawnmower moves and the cut was great.
Battery life is good and lasted for my entire property. However, it stopped multiple times (assuming the battery was too hot) which meant I had to take breaks, which made time to completion much longer. Height adjustment is very difficult to change. Overall, I’m happy with the purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is my first battery powered mower. I was a little concerned it would not have the power and cutting ability of my gas powered mowers. There was zero reason for concern. This mower has great power and provides a great cut! I’m happier than I probably should be about a lawn mower.
