I am almost 70 and this is my 1st exposure to battery operated mowers. I love the experience. Have had almost 2 months. Effortless starting, battery removal is easy for charging, comfortable handles with easy adjusting, manual or self propelled options is a plus as pushing is easy and this extends battery time. Mower handles my thick and sort of long grass. The battery time is more than enough for my needs and I mow more lawn area than with my previous gas powered. Great maneuvering around a variety of smaller areas/obstacles on property. It comes with bag but I have not used yet as also has side discharge. I was afraid the plastic parts might be fragile but so far no issues! I love this mower and my son has already purchased several additional green works battery operated tools. I only wish I had left the gas mowers behind long ago!
The trimmer itself is able to get the sections I needed cleaned up well, however the edger functionality is a little lacking. I've found that the cord doesn't reach as far as I would like it to, even on it's longest setting.
Overall a good purchase that lasts long enough to get the job done.
This is my first green machine. I am very impressed with the ease of using it. I use it to do the mowing where my rider won't go. I love not having to buy gas or oil. The self propelled mode makes it easy and the battery life is as advertised at 45 minutes. More if you do not use self propelled. Ease of setting adjustment is great with just one lever. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for similar uses as I mentioned above. If you are mowing bigger areas go with the bigger voltage.
These are awesome and perfect for my smaller yard! A full charge on the batteries gives me enough power to mow my whole yard, trim all of the bushes and edges, and blow it all away! Best money I ever spent!
