Great with minor nit picks

I purchased this to replace a 20yr old corded mower. It had some minor switch issues but, felt like the time to upgrade.
First of all, I love being cord free. Soooo much better. I’m mowing a smallish suburban front yard (1,500 sq ft or so), comprised of thick St. Augustine grass. So far, the Greenworks mower has barely broken a sweat. I have plenty of battery power to accomplish the task, probably enough for doing it twice. All good there.
I like the handle and start functionality. I’m 5’ 10” and my old mower would leave me with a sore back. The Greenworks allows me have the handle at a steeper angle for better posture. The quick release fold mechanism of the handle lets me fold it up for a MUCH better fit in my small storage room.
As I said before, this replaced a heavy, well made corded model. While this one is much lighter but, I fear it will not last another 20 years, that’s for sure. Let’s face it, the wheels are lame - thin plastic. Almost what you’d find on a toddler’s toy. And the battery hatch feels really flimsy. One solid hit and it will be done for.
All in all, a good buy with a couple slight potential issues down the road. Take that for what it’s worth.
