I was skeptical getting a battery operated mower,but am so glad I got this machine. It is great. It mulches unbelievably perfect. The one battery lasts for my large lot. You will not regret your purchase on this machine.
2 months in and i am impressed. Plenty of power, plenty of battery to cut my whole yard with some to spare(standard size subdivision lot). Time will tell if the battery holds for for a few years
My only negative is the self propel does not disengage when u let off.(as in the wheels lock up and will not roll backwards) You have to push the mower foward a few feet to get it to disengage. Gets quite annoying at times.
I like the mower. I bought it last year when they were selling it with one 5.0mah battery. I have a 1/4 acre lot with and the 5.0mah is only enough power for about 2/3 on one charge. Thankfully adding an additional 2.0mah battery from my line trimmer gets the job done. But now I can't trim until the battery charges. Charging is pretty quick though. I absolutely love not having to buy gas and very ow maintenance. This thing is so light I barely use the self propell feature.
Needing the additional battery costs this one points in the Cost Saving category.
Overall the mower is good. It cuts through tall grass nicely and the run time is solid.
The self propelled is a little slow for me. Even at full speed I am not walking very fast. Also-some parts seem cheap and I worry about them breaking. One thing that happened on its first use: a bolt came out that holds the handles into the long handle bars. The wires were damaged slightly as a result. I had tightened those bolts all the way as part of the assembly...

Wanted to try a battery mower as I am 81 and sometimes it is hard for me to start a gas powered engine. Wow was I suprised by ease of using this mower. I mowed a thick grass that was about 5 inches tall. It took me around 25 minutes, checked the batteries and one had one light left, the other was fully charged yet. Very impressing to say the least.
This mower is amazing. so easy to startup, all it takes is a simple button press- Also a single battery covers my entire 1/4 acre lawn with juice to spare.
The vertical folding and storage is pretty neat too.
The quietist mower ever. Literally some random guy walking by stopped and said "Man that is a quiet mower."
I went from a corded mower to this and cut the time to do my lawn in half because I am not dealing with a cord.
Oh and it cuts grass too. Some of my lawn was a little higher than normal and this mower didn't have any trouble. With my old mower I would have had to go over those parts at least twice to get it the right height.
