I purchased this mower after multiple years of dealing with constant issues with my gas rider. By the time it arrived, some of my grass had grown to almost knee high, but I raised it to its highest level, and it smoothly ran through it, without issue. I'm so glad that I made this purchase!
I’ve used this mower a couple of times now and still happy with my decision. Takes about 40 minutes to mow my lawn and it had 76% of the battery left. Definitely quieter than my old gas mower and doesn’t make a sound when the blades aren’t on. My kids love riding it around. I wish the blades didn’t stop when you put it into reverse.
I was looking for my first riding mower and wanted to go electric. I took a chance and ordered this mower online, and was happy I did. Its not a perfect mower , but overall I'm very happy with it. I'd give it 4.5/5 but I'm rounding up for the overall rating.
Pros: - Seems like its built well - Easy to use, relatively quiet, and consistent cut. Saving me a ton of time compared to my push mower , and its fun to ride - I'm very impressed by the battery life. I have about .5-1 acres to cut and it handles with ease. So far I've cut my lawn three times and it still has 40% charge left. - Comfortable seat
Cons - Seat adjustment. This isn't as big of a deal for me being 5'10'' 160 pounds , but if you are taller or heavier I'd highly recommend trying it out before buying it. It seems to me like there are a few inches it could go back but doesn't. I think it could probably be modified to go back further. - It would have been nice to have a hitch on the rear like on the front - As others have mentioned , it would be nice in a future model to have something you could plug to charge the batteries while in the mower. Not as big of a deal for me as I can mow my lawn multiple times on a single charge. - Reversing with the blade on is a bit of a pain. I know its probably a safety feature , but it would have been great to have an option/switch to keep the blade on while reversing (there is a button , but I haven't quite figured out how to use it yet)
Cuts great, handles well. Going from forward to reverse seems a little slow to engage, but basically OK. Mowing in reverse takes getting used to as you have to hold the button the whole time. if the intention is safety, keeping one hand engaged that way instead of steering seems counterintuitive. Overall a winner and would definitely buy again. Would give it 4.5 stars if that was an option. I don't give 5 stars very easily but its close.
