[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a new blade. Same as my old one, but new. And it was sharp. I like having a spare so I can sharpen the old one and swap them as needed. No issue with the new blade.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exactly perfect! It was a different color than the OEM part but I can tell from using it that my old one needed to be replaced long ago!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blade works great and was a decent price. I dock it one star for how hard it was to track down the right blade for my mower.
I LOVE my 80V mower, but accidentally hit a 5" rock while mowing this season. I bought this new blade and received it quickly. It was no problem to change the blade, but I noticed there were some stray blades still sticking up in places after I mowed. Not a lot, but enough to make a second pass. No idea why it wouldn't be as sharp. Even after hitting the rock my old blade did a better job. May try sharpening this one, but I'm disappointed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Lobster83,
Thank you for your feedback! Sorry to hear you are not satisfied with the cut of this new lawn mower blade. The cause of streaking could be the way the user mows, but it also may be the result of some generally causes that create this problem.
Overlapping each pass in the lawn you make with the lawnmower allows the mowing blades to contact each blade of grass and ensures no areas are missed. The overlap need not be very large. Overlapping by only 1 or 2 inches is enough. As you complete a pass and make your turn for the next one, line up the mower’s wheels with the indentation the wheels made during the previous pass.
Another suggestion to take into consideration, a clean mowing deck. Over the course of the mowing season, the underside of the mower’s deck collects dirt, mud, and grass clippings. Even if you mow your grass when it’s dry, the blades still attract some moisture, which tends to make grass clippings clump underneath the deck. This debris hampers both air and grass clipping movement inside the deck. Streaking could be one indication that the deck needs cleaning. With the battery removed or mower unplugged check the underside. Scrape off grass, mud and dirt clinging to the deck by using a wired brush be careful not to cut your hands on the mower blades.
