I had my doubts about switching from a gas mower to battery, but I'm so glad I did. This mower was easy to set up and go. It has a lasting battery and powerful enough to cut some pretty thick/tall grass. Not to mention I don't need to worry about gas cans, oil changes, spark plugs or air filters. Very little maintenance for a quality machine. Highly recommend.
I bought this around last year Christmas Holiday (2021) from Costco and started to use it this March (2022). This week (May 23) was trying to use it and it stopped working. The problem is after starting the Mower for 3~5 second then the motor stopped working(like the power was cut off). Try to restart, then it gave the beep sound just like when there is too many grass clippings attach to the deck or blade. However, the Mower did not have grass clippings attached to deck or blade. Called the HelpLine: 1-(888)-909-6757. Wait for 1 hour still no representative is available.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello TingF,
We are sorry that you are having an issue with one of our products! With the spring season here, so is our busiest time of year which unfortunately means increased wait times. We are happy to see that you have spoken with one of our customer service team members and this issue has been resolved.
It lives up to the company’s claims. Strong enough for the irregular terrain of my 3/4 of an acre lot adorned with a half doze oak tree and a few maples. Does a good job of mulching good accumulations of leaves. The battery lasted long enough to complete the biggest area in front which is all I needed, the recharge seemed faster than an hour. Met my needs and expectations. Thank you
I Live on the coast of North Carolina and I’ve had this 80v 21” pro mower going on three years now has great features but a few drawbacks that I would mention we have mostly Bermuda and centipede grass here on lawns that are very thick. The only two issues I have is that when you raise or lower the mower deck it’s not parallel to the ground which causes the front blade guard to dig into the grass. The other issue is that the drive wheels are very lacking on tread and tend to have very low traction in the thick grass my suggestion would be to redesign the tire with a much more aggressive tread. Other that that it is a great mower that preforms very well.
The lawnmower seems solid but the bar that holds the cover for rear discharge chute won't stay in the hole on the left side (standing behind the mower). Is there a missing piece to keep the bar secured or is it defective?
