[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] if you can stand the relative quiet compared to your gas-powered mower, you'll enjoy breathing the fresh air instead of choking on the belching exhaust while you walk across your yard. I'm not quite draining the 2.0 Ah battery to do my residential yard, so the 4.0 battery is almost a spare for now. I don't use the driving wheels on this uneven lot because it's that much lighter than the gas mower. the handle makes a sharp clanking rattle when the mower's driven over rough or lumpy turf: that might bother some, but probably not if you're wearing ear buds or headphones ;)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After unloading from the box, I started to assemble the handle but couldn't because of the rubber "gasket" around the handle with the power cables. I finally pulled the rubber gasket out and the handle fit into the hole with no problem. Why the rubber gasket was in the handle to begin with? I have used the mower to catch the grass and also to mulch the desert marigolds and spread the seeds. All went according to the instructions and I am happy with the result. I particularly liked the headlamps as I often cut my grass at night after the sun goes down.(Daytime temps around 109F to 115F) I have charged both the 40 Ah and the 20 Ah batteries and that has worked fine.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took a few passes at times, but the mower chewed through 20 inch grass (side discharge). Not bad for a battery mower!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this mower for 3 summers It is lightweight, folds for storage, & batteries charge quickly.
Just received this 80V 21", Cordless Battery, Self-Propelled, Lawn Mower & "What a machine!". I would recommend highly. It came with a 2A 80V battery 3/4 charged, & a 4A 80V new, uncharged which I put on the charger immediately. As I couldn't wait, I loaded the 2A battery in & installed all parts as per the manual. Starting first time was simple & "by the book". After 45 mins, I found I had cut my whole yard, using half speed & propelled power with the battery finally giving up.
Pros: Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Environmentally Safe, Powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my 1st battery powered mower and I could not be happier, it is much lighter than gas mowers, quieter and no noxious fumes. I recommended it to all my neighbors.
This was a great upgrade from gas mowers! No more struggles to start a mower. It doesn't break down in the middle of mowing season. My gas mowers would inevitably break down in the middle of mowing season and the wait time for a repair was three weeks. For that reason, I had two mowers. The savings in repair costs has more than made up the difference in price between this mower and a comparable gas mower. My one criticism is the side grass discharge chute. I'd rather not use the bag, so I used the chute. That required installing the plastic cover. Without it, the chute is closed and no cut grass will be ejected while mowing. If the chute cover is bumped against something, it is likely to pop off. This makes it more difficult to mow in tight spaces. I've given up on using the chute and now use the bag. I wish there were a way to open the side chute without installing the plastic cover.
