Great alternative to a gasoline powered mower

My 30 year old gas mower finally gave up. I had decided when it did I was going cordless, and this mower is a perfect replacement. Fit and finish is great, has a solid feel but is VERY light weight. That allows me to not have to use the self propelled feature all that often. This mower isn't much if any louder than a box fan running on high which is nice, no need for ear plugs any longer.
Using the 5 mA battery I was able to mulch a heavy layer of leaves in the front yard and then use the bag to pick them up. The mower ran quite a lot at it's higher speed mulching the leaves and when I was done I still had 1 bar left on the battery. I will add that the mower never did bog down or struggle mulching the heavy layer of leaves. After 5 minutes or so on the charger the battery showed 2 bars so I figure it took just slightly over 3 bars to do the job.
We have just under 1/4 of an acre in total split between the front and back yard. So we wanted something pretty small and manageable. so far this has met that expectation. We were also using a 12in string trimmer that had a mower bed attachment to mow our lawn previously. It felt like we were vacuuming the lawn as we had to go back and forth a couple of times to get the cut even. This new 17in greenworks mower with an actual blade is big improvement for us in both size and cut ability. We just have to go over the lawn once, and now that it is fall, it mulches and bags the leaves along with the grass clippings very well. We can also do our entire front and back yards on one battery charge.
The only areas for possible improvement could be slightly larger bag. We have to empty it several times per yard with the leaves an all. And front wheels that turn would make for easier handling. The mower is pretty light and manageable, so popping a wheelie and turning it for a sharp corner isn't too difficult.
I purchased in Sept and love the battery lawnmower! Mowed my lawn great and even mulched the leaves! I love the fact that there's no gas or oil to worry about . No fumes and quieter than gas powered! I can store it right in basement folded up. Takes up so much less room! Best purchase!
Easy to unpack and set up. The single button height adjustment is convenient and works well. I have a smallish back yard (approx. 18 x 60ft), which is no problem for the mower. It is light and easy to maneuver. I haven't been able to test how many timed the yard can be mowed on a single charge. It would be nice to have a charge indicator on the mower.
This mower is great. It does everything a mower needs to be able to do. It has plenty of power for any size of job. If the grass gets think it automatically begins to spin harder to get through the tough areas. The battery lasts about an hour depending on the job, but charges in about 30 minutes. I love my 21 in mower gets every job done that I need.
