[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First use impressions: • Incredibly easy to assemble, right out of the box • Intuitive controls: Operation remarkably simple • Exceptional cutting performance • Multiple options for storage
This product did not even last a year. i ran it less than 15 times and from the very beginning the blade did not cut completely and required me to go over the lawn twice. In addition, the back wheels have locked up and prevented me from running it. Also, the battery now only lasts about 15 minutes before needing a recharge. Stay away from this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello psigos.
Thank you for your review. We are not sure what specifications you are referring to, but we regret to hear that you do not recommend this product. Many customers have had great success with this model and come to enjoy it in our product line up. We wish it could have provided the same experience for you. With the included 4Ah battery, you can expect up to 45 minutes of mowing time, in ideal conditions. Runtimes can vary depending on a few factors, including but not limited to using self-propelled, self-propelled mowers do use more battery than standard push mowers as more power is being demanded from the battery to run the blades and the wheels. Grass texture and consistency. Cutting height and lawn size. For added runtime, we recommend purchasing an additional batteries. If you have batteries from another 80V kit these 80V batteries would be compatible with your 80V SP mower, please note, the higher the Ah (amp hour) the more runtime a battery will provide. We recommend a 4Ah battery or higher for optimal runtime. The good news is you don’t have to wait until the batteries are completely depleted prior to charging them, lithium-ion batteries do not have a memory effect and charging them when they’re not fully depleted won’t do any damage. It takes about 30 minutes to charge the battery, and you’ll know when it’s ready because the light on the charger will turn from red to green. If you don’t let the grass, get too high, you’ll be in good shape as far as getting an even cut. However, if you’ve let the grass get long, you’ll likely need to make a few passes for it to look even. One of the ways it’s able to provide a consistent cut is its sensory technology. This technology senses how tough or high the grass is and adjusts the power output accordingly. So, if you’re going over a flat area with low grass, it won’t put out as much in the way of RPMs, and if it hits a tougher spot, it ramps up the power to keep up. We would like to address your concerns with the back wheels. The self-propelled feature is not usable in reverse. They are designed to lock when pulled back to prevent damage to the drive belt. If you are using the self-propelled feature, the mower will attempt to move forward and will be difficult to move backwards. You would have to release the self-propelled lever to pull the mower backwards while still holding onto the start lever. We hope this information provides a better overall user experience.

I ought this spring 2023. Works as advertised. My 85 year old wife likes to mow our lawn and does it well.the only thing she struggles is battery removal.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I migrated to cordless outdoor lawn mower up grading from a smaller push only cordless mower. Easy Setup, like the foldup option which is a space saver in the garage.
While having the power, the "engineering team" has NO concept of a true "high lift" blade. Thusly making the machine a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Disenchanted. Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. Stock mower blades perform well on dry, shorter grasses, and are optimized for efficiency, while high lift blades work better in extreme conditions but have a small effect on the runtime. The high-lift blade has deeper curves on the ends, which increase suction to circulate and expel the clippings. The higher airflow also helps prevent clogging. When to use high lift lawn mower blades: • When you are cutting tall grass (Grass over 3" tall) • When you are cutting flimsy grass such as turf-type tall fescue When not to use high lift lawn mower blades: • In sandy soil conditions It sounds like you will need to contact us directly some further information would be required to be better assist.
