Lightweight, but difficult to mow near fences. Battery runs out too fast.

This mower works well for small, wide-open yards with no walls or fences. It's easy to maneuver, easy to turn, and the battery is easy to plug in and detach and isn't bulky or heavy. The charger is great and very easy to use.
The problem with spacing and walls is there is an inexplicable 6-inch wide "front bumper" on this mower that prevents you from pushing up closely against walls and fences, requiring you to turn the mower sideways to mow against a fence. This is not ideal or practical in most cases, because there simply isn't enough room. And that also makes this mower difficult to use in tight spaces, such as around shrubs. I'm not sure why this big gap exists on the front of the mower and have never seen it on any gas or electric mower I've used.
The included 2W battery runs out, on average, in about 20 minutes, and takes 30-40 minutes to recharge. Obviously this isn't ideal, and on a yard larger than about 1/2 acre, you will be swapping out batteries a LOT and simply running out of juice. The charger cannot keep up with mowing and swapping. I knew this before buying, so it's hard to really complain, but buyers should have this info before buying and understand that this mower cannot be kept running continuously with two 2W batteries. There needs to be 10-30 minutes between each swap to make sure the new battery is fully charged.
Overall, the mower is probably a little overpriced, but I suspect that's because the batteries are VERY expensive, and that is driving up the price of the mower. The cost of a new or battery alone is about the same price as a brand new gas mower. So considering that rechargeable lithium batteries always have a finite life, it remains to be seen whether the long-term cost of owning this mower is actually less than the cost of a gas mower.
My initial estimate is that it will cost a lot more to buy and operate this mower over the long term (primarily because of periodic battery replacement) than a gas mower. So if you are interested in purely the cost-savings, this probably is not the answer. If your goal is to consume less or no fossil fuels, this is a great choice.

Quiet runs about 50 minutes on a charge. Lightweight and easy to start and self propelled is easy to use.

Great But Not for Small Hands

While the mower is easy to handle and joy to mow with, the battery installation and removal are terrible. The battery is so heavy and sits so low there is little room for fingers to squeeze the release and pull it out. I put a shoelace under the battery when I insert it and use that to hoist it out while squeezing the release.

This Mach has the power to do it all, when I got it my grass was out of control and it plowed right through it.

Better instructions on how to remove the battery. Great mower. Battery lasted an hour and a half. Cut my lawn twice before I had to charge it.

The 21" blade installed easily and works well. No issues with the product. Fulfillment was slower than other online retailers, so I kept a star. Still quite happy.

This was a replacement for one like it which I had for 5 years; the old one had a bearing failure in the motor. My only complaint is that the rear driving wheels tend to spin if the grass gets the least bit wet or if I am going up a slope; I think it would be improved if the rear wheels had some tread. I had the same problem with the original; otherwise I think it nearly perfect.
