[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased 5/24/24 and am very happy with the performance and find it very easy to use. I will definitely recommend to others.
In general I am very satisfied with the machine. It cuts on a par with the gas machine previously used. It is also useful as utility vehicle to transport tools and such around the property or to visit nearby neighbors. Together with battery chainsaw and string trimmer I can throw away the gas cans. With a light weight front end it is easier to maneuver than the gas unit and also seems to handle rough terrain better. I mow a yard, orchard and some field. None of these are manicured. I don't measure the acreage cut but a battery charge lasts just over 1.5 hours with 4 AH batteries. The mower came with 2 discovered defects. 1: The cooling fan on 1 charger does not shut off until the battery is removed. 2: The parking brake will not set. It probably just needs some adjustment which leads to perhaps my biggest problem which is the owner's manual. A machine as expensive as this deserves a comprehensive and clear manual covering operation and routine maintenance and adjustments. An owner's manual should be clear, correct and comprehensive. The provided manual is not. It would also be useful to have a parts list with exploded views. The control panel is in an awkward position and not easy to reach while in operation. There needs to be an option to operate blades in reverse without undertaking a frustrating sequence of operations. An onboard charger would be of considerable convenience even if it were a slow charger. Many will find removing and replacing the batteries is not a trivial job.
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective
Going on year 3 and it has performed flawlessly on our 3/4 acres of grass. Never ran out of charge. Leaf season we still had 10% charge when we were done. It's also fast and tows very well. Great product!
Fast, much quieter than gas mower, no fumes, no maintenance besides blowing it off after a 2 acre cut, great turning radius, easily hauls other items behind it (namely a wagon / cart, spreader, lawn sweeper, de thatcher, etc., and it doesn't have to stop to refill with gas. A first-class product that has been great since I first used it 8 months ago. Highly recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Would be perfect with better charge life. I was able to mow 1/5 acre on my first charge. Love the mower otherwise, fun ride with good turning radius. The rapid charger is quick. I feel if the mower came with 4 of the 8ah batteries the mowing time would be much closer to my expectations.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got it yesterday. It was easy to assemble. Mowed my 100ft x 200ft yard today. Finished on one charge.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really enjoying cutting the lawn again! I cut about 1.5 acres of grass and can get nearly all of it done with 6 batteries although 8 would be perfect. The machine is so quiet compared to the gas alternative and even after engaging the blades you can still listen to a podcast or ball game while mowing if you're using noise cancelling ear buds. The mower handles tall grass easily and the elimination of belts with direct power to the blades is a game changer. I'm not fond of the bagging attachment receptacles however. They're a mesh bag as opposed to rigid plastic and are somewhat harder to dump. That's the only fault I've found so far.
