Mowing a yard with an extension cord isn't fun at all.

No mention of cutting height.

This looks decent for a small lawn.From the comments, it looks like the UK variants (Flymo) of hover mowers are better. The cuts on this mower don't look too great, but I'm sure that won't matter for some.

It's about 2 inches off the ground. You can't adjust the height on this mower either. Seems like you would have to be sure to keep up with cutting.

Doesn't this blow the grass down to create the upward lift for the mower body?

How would that even cut the grass if it isn't sucking it?

Depends on the size and shape of your lawn. Mine was not awful but I do agree the gas mower is easier overall if you know how to maintain a small gas engine. What I miss about the electric mower was how quiet it was as it made it possible to enjoy noise cancelling earbuds and listen to podcasts while mowing.

The "mower" in this deal looks like a meth addict merged a mower, a green plastic punch bowl, and a weed whacker. Better off buying a string trimmer instead.

Yep. My friends parents had a Fly-mow that sat under the house because it didn't work well. Even with a fairly light two stroke Tecumseh on it scalped the grass to golf course level.

I had experience with Sun Joe product, their wood chipper, and their chainsaw... Although it's a low-tier low-price product, it is durable and gets the job done. If I have a small lawn and need a cheap lawn mower, I won't hesitate to buy this product.. Just my 2cent

I've worked on engines for decades, I 100% prefer the extension cord to dealing with gasoline engine maintenance, repairs, and wear when I can just plan my route so I never worry much about the extension cord. I got my mower for $10 used- I don't care to replace it.

But this thing? IDK what it is. Confused
