We've used this mower twice now, and so far, we love it. We have a bigger yard - it takes 1 1/2 hours to mow the whole thing. My main worry about purchasing an electric mower was that the battery wouldn't last through the entire job. I ordered an extra battery for that reason. However, one 80v battery lasted for 2 hours of mowing! Impressed! I like the weight of the mower, it keeps it grounded and mowing smoothly. I bought this electric mower almost as a rebellion against traditional gas mowers, which we have had bad luck with. As of now, I am feeling like I won this round! Time will tell how well the mower and batteries hold up, and I'm crossing my fingers, because if things go well, I'll be looking into their snow blower!
Very pleased with the mower performance. Just mowed it once and it worked great. Should gage the performance after few months but I have a positive feeling about this product. For some reason I received the this product in a box and is completely ripped and torn up. I'm a little worried if any parts got slammed hard to the ground during shipping !!
I bought this mower when I gave my old gas mower to my son who bought a house. This is the best and easiest mower ever! Plenty of power with the 60V. Have to slow the self propelled speed from the max because it is too fast. The 5Ah battery it came with is enough to do most of my yard unless the temperature is 100+, an issue if South Texas. Adding the 2 Ah battery that came with my attachment capable weed eater to the second port fixes that. I replaced all my other electric and gas powered lawn tools and the 60V is plenty of power. Have attachment for edger, pole saw, and hedge trimmer. Add the blower with an extra battery two. I am never going back to gas.
Powerful battery operated lawn mower. On par with gas powered. Love the fact that you can store it upright unlike gas powered.mowers. Saves a lot of space in my garage.
Wish this lawnmower was strong like a gas power la

Verified Purchase:Yes
The machine isn’t very strong blades of grass stay up. The mulching and suction seems to be less stronger than a gas power lawnmower. My wife seems to think it’s a play toy.

Hello Champo,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with this product. The issue with the cut can be many factors: grass is over 4 inches in height and too tall, the underside of the deck needs to be clean and clear of debris and the blades need to be replaced or sharpened seasonally. Here are some more cutting tips that may be beneficial:
1. Set the mower to the highest cutting height (or 1/3 of the length of grass), mow no more than 1/3 at a time. 2. Mow when grass is dry. 3. Mow in the morning or late afternoon to reduce the heat stress on newly cut grass. 4. Alternate mowing patterns each time you mow. As grass develops a grain based on your cutting direction it will lean towards the direction of your mowing path. Changing the pattern allows better vertical growth and helps to keep the cut neater. 5. New or thick grass may require a narrow cutting path. 6. For the best results keep the lawn under 4" in length and walk at a steady pace to allow the blades to cut efficiently.
