Summary: 4 Stars
Well if you're reading this review then you're probably like me and want to do your homework before taking the leap in purchasing an electric mower. I was skeptical after reading many a review on this site and others but the lawn was getting long and I finally bit the bullet and went for it. Here's an honest break down of what I love, like, and can see room for improvement on my Black & Decker Cordless mower:
Top 5 Pros:
1. I love how easy it is to crank this baby up just insert the key pull lever and away we go!!!
2. I love how easy it is to push this thing I almost forgot it's not self-propelled, okay maybe I'm exagerrating a little but honestly it's much lighter than I expected and very manuverable.
3. No more oil, filter, or anything changes..Hooray!!!
4. I've opted to go bagless and operate on my mulch setting and it's amazing how much less dust this thing kicks up compared to my old gas guzzler, practically dust-free(coming from a guy who has patches of dirt with little grass in some areas)which translates to a much cleaner mowing experience and my lungs are already thanking me.
5. Last but not least NO MORE $4/GAL OF GAS TO BUY FOR MY MOWER EVER!!!!
Cons:
1. Slightly damaged in shipping. Now before you change your mind and think I don't want to even worry about this and go some other route, hear me out. The box it was shipped in was in pretty bad shape and yes the mower hand a few scrapes and scrathes (which made me less than pleased at first glance). The good news is Amazon gave me the option to send it back for a refund or take a discount. I decided to make sure it would operate properly and after a thorough investigation I opted for the discount.
2. Defintely doesn't cover up 1/3 of an acre. Well maybe it does if you can cut 1/3 of an acre in less than 45-50 minutes b/c that's exactly how long a full charge will last you. I suppose if I ran the whole time this would be possible but for all practical purposes it seems to me that this bad boy will get you through roughly a 1/5 acre sized lot in one go and that's pushing it. I simply cut my front one day and the back the next so I didn't really see this as a con, but from some I guess this might be a turnoff.
3. Has trouble with very thick weeds, but other than that it did a comparable job to my 5.5 hp gas mower.
Well I guess that's about all you need to know to make an informed decision on going electric. Good luck on your decision and happy mowing!!!
Customer Review: As good as is available
Summary: 4 Stars
Does a good job for a small lawn. Otherwise the battery charge is not adequate for a large yard or even a small yard if the turf is thick. (It is somewhat heavy but my yard is flat so no real problem.)Customer Review: At last a lawnmower that starts easily every time
Summary: 4 Stars
My husband is 69 with a heart condition. I used to cringe everytime I wanted to mow the lawn as I would have to have him come out in the hot Florida sun and spend 15 to 30 minutes starting the mower. No more. this lawn mower starts every time by just pulling up the bar. It has the power of our old gas mower with none of the problems. Well worth the money!Customer Review: Awesome mower for smaller lawns
Summary: 5 Stars
I had the previous model of this mower for 6 years and loved it. The battery doesn't hold much of a charge now (only about 20 minutes) but I'm buying the newest model today. This mower is a great way to go green as there are no emissions and it still performs very well. If you have a large lawn, as I did (1/2 acre), I did have to mow 1/2 and then charge it, and then mow the other half. Love this mower though... I'm a repeat customer!
