Reviews

Have used this mower 3-4 times a month for ~ 4 months. Ease of use is good. Mower mows OK; however, it will bog down in Bermuda grass. Charger works fine. Only real problem has been the rear safety flap going under the mower when pulling backwards. Flap needs to be re-designed.

1) Reason for getting lawn mower With everything happening in the news as fare as over 90 million gallons of oil spilled in the Gulf of Mexico. The only way to drive home the idea of getting off oil is to starting with the home. Going with cleaner lawn care alternative was the only clear choice, plus a powerful need to save money in the long run. Anything that using gas as or for power wears down quickly due to; heat, carbon and oil sludge. Over time this causing cost of maintaining to rise from 150 dollars per year, to over 300 after five years. Based on Reviews both good and bad, this was one of the few lawn mowers; either gas or electric that had very favorable reviews. The common bad review's had to do with batter issues, which can be overcome easily by getting a smart charger. 2) Inspecting lawn mower Heavy, about 30Lbs heavier due to the batters (this is okay I could us a work out anyways). Build, with a combo of both steel and high impact ABS plastic, (wish the plastic was recycled, or planet based and not oil); things look good. 3) Using lawn mower Adjusting the height, easy to do with the single level height adjustment (wondering why more are not going with this type of height adjustment). Mowing the lawn and right off the bat notice it is a lot quieter then stander gas powered mower. Bagged beautifully even with the grass damp from the rain the day before. Used that bagging because the grass was a little tale after not be mowed for over three weeks. The next week used the mulching plug and did a great job but; the mulching plug does not fit tightly in the shot, so grass did get stuck in it. 4) Maintenance tips Going overboard to keep it looking new even after years of use, well keep your neighbors thinking you get a new lawn mower every year. First use Black Magic BM48016 Wet Shine Liquid Wax. Apply it to every metal and plastic part on the mower, including the blade. After that buff it to a shine and wait for an half an hour, then apply vegetable oil over the waxed area. Don't forget the underside of the chassis: the wax vegetable oil combo helps to keep grass from sticking to it, which help to make it easy to clean. For the blade I recommend taking the blade to a repair shop once a year to have it sharpen, you will need a torque wench to take the blade of. Best time to do this is when you put the mower away for the winter. According to the owner's manual the charger unit is not a smart charger, so keep that in mind. While there is no minimum to charging time, there is a max of twenty four hours. Whatever you do not leave on even one minute long then twenty four, because this well damage the batters, and believe me you will notice the change. If you know that you are not going to remember to unplug the mower from the charger in a timely manner, then there is something you came do. Getting a smart charger or batter maintainer, Is a great idea and I highly recommend one for two reasons. One; you can plug it in and forget it and not have to worry about the batter overcharging. Two; it will help to maximize that life of the batters by maintaining a full charger in-between uses. You can get one from 40 - 200 dollars, and they all pretty much do the same thing. You will also need an RCA wall plate. You will have to take the top of the batter cover off, in order to make sure that you wire the polarity right. 5) Pros a) Single level height adjustment. b) Batter stays charged for up to 2 ½ hour of use. c) Ball bearing wheels. d) Cheaper Maintenance cost over the long run. e) No poll cord to have to start it. f) Does not look like a cartoon mower you see on the Jettison's . g) Will reduce your Carbon Foot Print. 6) Cons a) Heavier then stander gas mower. b) Handle uncomfortable for small hands, [Homelite band only]. c) Mulching plug does not fit tightly in the shot. d) Charger not a batter maintainer or smart charger. e) Pricy. 7) Bottom Line Bottom line is if you have a small yard, say 1/4 to 1/5 acres then this would be a great lawnmower to have. It will save you money, it does a great job in mowing the grass, and is easier to use. Not to mention that your neighbors will envy you and want one too.

I have had this mower now for 11 months. When the battery has a fresh charge the mower has good power (about the same as a 2.5 hp gas mower). Unfortunately as the battery weakens so does the power of the mower. I live in South Florida and in the summer I have to mower my lawn every 4 to 5 days. With this mower I have to mow the front one day and the back a other. I live on a 1/4 acer lot that my house takes up about 1/3. Knowing what I know now, this mower is great if you have less then 3,000 sq ft to mow. But if you have a full sized yard, you may want to think twice. I like the mower, but wish I had gotten a gas mower.

When I first got my lawnmower I did not experience any of the problems that some others have mentioned. The mower is very heavy but worth pushing to save the planet. I liked the fact that the mower is so much quieter than a gas mower. Still loud and no where near as quiet as my neighbors Newton mower. Several months into my mowing experience I had my first problem, the charger melted overnight as it was charging the battery. I called the company and after a half an hour of waiting got someone to send out a new charger. No further problems till this year when my mower stopped functioning for no apparent reason about 1/10th of the way into mowing the lawn. I called the number given for the warrenty. Thirty minutes of waiting rewarded me with a number of a near by shop to have the mower serviced. Only problem, the shop refused to work on it. 30 more minutes on the phone another shop that would not service the mower. Finally got some 45 minutes from the house agreed to work on the mower. Called the fix it guy later in the week and he had some very choice words for this company. Looks like I'll be driving to the next state if anything else goes wrong. The fix it guy tells me the company will not send him the part and is giving him the run around. He tells me he will fix the mower with a part from another motor he has and then will try to keep after the company to get the part replaced on his extra motor. He needs to get paid though and so I have to fork over $35 for work that should have been covered under the warrenty. I could wait to see if he can convince the company to send the part or take the mower back but the company doesn't have a part number of the part that is broken so it can't be broken cause it doesn't exist. With the lawn now a full 12 inches and an embarrassed wife, I chose to part with the cash to expedite things. I have glossed over the pain and aggravation this company has caused me and so many others. I can not stress how terrible of a company they are. I am thinking of calling my states attorney general to file a complaint. Do not under any circumstance purchase this product. All the positive reviews are from people who have not owned this mower over a year.

I bought this mower hoping that it would do a good enough job on my small lawn. I've been more than pleasantly surprised! It came boxed in such a way that it was very well protected for shipment, yet easy to get out without a big mess. The only thing that had to be put together was the handle. Two bolts was all it took to get it ready to go, as well as letting it charge for 24 hours. The next day, I took it off charge and mowed both my front and back lawn. Neither one is very large, and together they are just about what I would call an average "city lawn". This mower weighs in at about 100 pounds, but it is no harder to push around than a comparably sized gas mower. It is much louder, and more powerful than I thought it would be. I had no problem mowing down my lawn, which had gotten higher than I normally keep it waiting on this to arrive. My grass was about 5 or 6 inches in length and quite thick. Cleanup was easy and I have since mowed my complete lawn three more times for a total of 4 times and have yet had to re-charge the battery! I'm very happy with this purchase, and highly recommend this mower to anyone!
