Used it now for a couple of months, so much quieter, so much easier, so much cheaper then what I used before.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this lawnmower, although it is not quite as powerful as a gas lawnmower, it is sufficient enough & gets the job done mighty fine. Also I love the light weight & ease of operation, & if you get the other line of products like me, you won’t have to worry about having to use gas ever again, because where the gas prices are headed you don’t want anything else. I did extensive research & this is the best for both performance & handling of any battery operated lawn mower out there. Suggest getting an extra 5amp battery & using that one to start so you won’t have to change it in the middle of mowing your yard, & then you can always use the other for a backup if you ever need; & also buy an extra lawnmower blade in case it happened to break if you were to run over something like a big rock or tree limb & so you don’t have to worry about leaving your lawn unfinished. Also, they have good customer service & strive hard to support their products & make their customers happy.

Love this mower! Upgraded from the 40v dual blade and have been very happy with the added power and battery life.

I bought it because the battery system is compatible with several other tools I have. I have used it once, on an overgrown lawn and was extremely pleased with the speed and even cut. I used it in mulching mode and it did not leave the bunches of grass my old mower would leave. I was also pleased with the battery life. While the new one was charging I used an older smaller battery which lasted through the whole lawn with power to spare.

Easily cuts through heavy fescue. Better than my previous gasoline model in every way. Easy to use and has self-propelled rear wheels when you need it. It takes a few seconds to disengage the self-propelled feature, so backing up is less than ideal, but not a real issue. Good controls for start and stop. Good side discharge that doesn't easily fall off like other mower brands. A spare battery would be good for large lawns, but the cost is high. Battery from the trimmer fits mower.

Lightweight, but difficult to mow near fences. Battery runs out too fast.

This mower works well for small, wide-open yards with no walls or fences. It's easy to maneuver, easy to turn, and the battery is easy to plug in and detach and isn't bulky or heavy. The charger is great and very easy to use.
The problem with spacing and walls is there is an inexplicable 6-inch wide "front bumper" on this mower that prevents you from pushing up closely against walls and fences, requiring you to turn the mower sideways to mow against a fence. This is not ideal or practical in most cases, because there simply isn't enough room. And that also makes this mower difficult to use in tight spaces, such as around shrubs. I'm not sure why this big gap exists on the front of the mower and have never seen it on any gas or electric mower I've used.
The included 2W battery runs out, on average, in about 20 minutes, and takes 30-40 minutes to recharge. Obviously this isn't ideal, and on a yard larger than about 1/2 acre, you will be swapping out batteries a LOT and simply running out of juice. The charger cannot keep up with mowing and swapping. I knew this before buying, so it's hard to really complain, but buyers should have this info before buying and understand that this mower cannot be kept running continuously with two 2W batteries. There needs to be 10-30 minutes between each swap to make sure the new battery is fully charged.
Overall, the mower is probably a little overpriced, but I suspect that's because the batteries are VERY expensive, and that is driving up the price of the mower. The cost of a new or battery alone is about the same price as a brand new gas mower. So considering that rechargeable lithium batteries always have a finite life, it remains to be seen whether the long-term cost of owning this mower is actually less than the cost of a gas mower.
My initial estimate is that it will cost a lot more to buy and operate this mower over the long term (primarily because of periodic battery replacement) than a gas mower. So if you are interested in purely the cost-savings, this probably is not the answer. If your goal is to consume less or no fossil fuels, this is a great choice.
