[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have enjoyed this mower in the short time that I have had it, but there are some drawbacks that leave me less than satisfied with my pricey purchase. To start with the good things: - The extra cutting width is a great feature, definitely knocks off some cutting time - The batteries are amazing. I can easily cut my .4 acre (hilly) yard without even getting through 50% of the second battery. The included fast charger actually seems to charge a single battery faster than the mower uses them up! So, in theory, I guess you could almost mow indefinitely without interruption with this dual battery setup.
The things that are knocking my rating down from a 5-star are: - The " intelligent" blade control on the motors takes entirely too long to react to increasing loads. If the grass goes from thin to thick, I have to go back over this spot once the blade speed kicks up to get it fully cut. - The bag is far too small for a deck this size, even with grass that was cut just one week before, I have to empty the bag 15-20 times while cutting my yard. - Something in the geartrain for the rear wheels makes a horrifying crunching/clicking sound if the mower is pointed even slightly uphill when you engage the ground drive at the handlebars. Not knowing if this will cause any damage, I have to find a way to not be pointed uphill when starting the next pass after turning around.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good cut quality and battery life. It is light weight to me and I push most of the time. So far so good. Only cut the grass 2x’s, but very happy so far. We will have to see about long term reliability.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Effective, Powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has turned out to be the best mower I’ve ever owned , and at the age of 71 ! Was easy to assemble as the instructions were simple and straightforward. Battery charging is simple and efficient. Love the double batteries can be both installed on the mower . No stopping to retrieve the second battery when the first runs out. Great controls . Comfortable to walk behind as the handle easily adjusts for user comfort. The wide cut allowed me to cut/mulch my 1/4 acre yard in less than an hour and on one battery.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with this mower. Batteries last a very long time. Very easy to maneuver. Self propelled works great. Grass catcher very easy to take off and on. One handle to raise and lower cutting deck also very easy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its best for small yards. It does not work well if grass is too tall. If your grass area is less than a quarter acre, this is perfect for you. Just mow once every 7 to 10 days and you will be good for a long time.
Pros: Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe
