Small, quiet, light, and easy to use!
First of all, when I bought it, I didn’t realize it would be so small, even though it says the size clearly on Amazon. I added a pic of it next to my Toyota minivan to help people see the size.
Pros and cons:
Con: small size means you have to do a lot more walking to mow the lawn. Another con: because it is small, it looks a bit like a toy. (Not a toy, it has a fast moving metal blade). Pros: small size means it is very light. Easy to carry around. Easy to push. So even though you have to do a lot more walking, you can walk fast. It is so light, even grandma could easily do it. Another pro: easy to start. Because it is electric, you just push a button and a lever. No trying to pull a chain attached to a the engine. So many times with other mowers, I would pull with all my might, and I wasn’t fast enough or tall enough to start it. This one is so easy. So if you need to move something out of the way, just turn it off, move the item, and quickly turn it on again. Another pro: it is quiet. I live in a place that can get 120 degrees in the summer. I want to mow the lawn at 6 am, and it is quiet enough that I can do that without bothering the neighbors. Another pro, very easy to store. Another pro: two big rechargeable batteries. The batteries last long enough for me to mow the back and front without recharging(on eco mode). My yards are small, but not super small. Another pro: smallness means easy to maneuver. I have a swing set in the grass. I just trim a little around each pole quickly, and then mow around each pole. Fast, light and easy. Another pro: no gas required. No going to the gas station, or running out, no dealing with engines, or oil. Another pro: no electric cord. You don’t need to worry about running over a chord when you mow. Another pro, because it has no gas, no chords, and it is light, it is fast. Start to finish I can mow both yards in about 30 minutes. I actually love mowing the lawn now!! Last pro: it does a good job cutting my grass. There is a real metal blade that spins fast. This is a real mower, same safety precautions necessary.
If you want a small quiet mower, this is it! I love it. If you are not super strong physically, and/or you have a smallish yard, this is great.
If you have a big yard, You might want something else.
Some reviews say that the batteries don’t last long enough. If you make sure they are fully charged, inserted correctly in the mower, and the mower is set on eco mode, the batteries last at least 45 minutes. If you put the mower on turbo mode, it doesn’t last long. Eco mode is strong enough for most yards.
Also, the mower comes with the mulcher attachment already installed. If you want to use the bag, you must take out the mulcher first. Otherwise it may seem like the mower is not working properly. I did that at first, until I figured it out. Once I took it out, it was fine.
