I would not even consider this unless it went down to $2000. The Greenworks 60 was 42" but it also goes up to 8 MPH.
I kind of doubt that the decks will handle the abuse I put mine through. Most deck blades are driven by a belt. If a blade hits a rock the belt slips and the blade might might even bend. I fear these electric deck motors that replace the $25 belt and pully system used on my 20yr old craftsman is going to be considerably more to maintain. They might even be more fragile. Bound to be much harder to find too. I am good for 1or 2 belts a year and a Mandrel every other, but those parts are all common today and will be for the foreseeable future.
It is not just that the lead acid batteries do not last, but it could be other areas of durability that could be of issue as well. I love the concept but before I spend $3.5k and another $1.5k for a lithium upgrade, I want to know if it is the only problems these have. For $5k I could get a quite proven, respectable and durable mower of similar size that would last for a decade or more with simple maintenance.
My old Kohler has been treating me good, knock on wood, and if it died tomorrow, I don't think I would consider this just yet.. You guys are welcome to be the first. I will wait until there is a few more generations in to it.
On a Side note I saw Husqvarna (AYP) has started killing off internal combustion assembly plants down south. I think I saw 2k layed off to build this stuff in Mexico. It might soon be the last call for personal choice on mowing options soon. The last GM/Toyota V8 is this year, the last internal combustion lawn tractor is soon to follow.. Save your money for that last call..
If I go with something like this it might as well be the Roomba version of this. If we take tech this far in to it, we might as well go the full automatic mowing and bypass this completely. It could be much lighter if my big arse is not on it. Batteries could be smaller. Mowing could be automated greatly.
Only problem the men in America would have with the Roomba mower is the wife wont need you! or you wont get that solitude of just you, the mower and a can of beer.. It is "my time" when I mow.. no talking.. no texting.. I would miss that if I had a Roomba mower, but I could survive.. I might go fishing.
I was in Costco and saw the one they sell. Looked durable, but we are almost talking car prices on these. I just want to wait a few years more to see if we can get some standards on batteries, motors ect.. Is there parts available and what are common maintenance costs are. You might not be getting repairs if no one has parts. When your mower is down and they say a part is back ordered for 3 months, What are your options? Remember a manufacturer is only required to provide or direct you to a source of a part for the duration of the warranty. These are bound to get orphaned.
There are often a bunch of cheap models on craigslist, too. I saw an RM480e for like $1500.
The newer generation uses Ryobi's superior Li+ batteries and I'm assuming I'd be locked in. I don't know; maybe those are easy to replace, too.
Please don't mow the dogs, cats, or children.

Wat 600
An "investment" is an outlay of money for income or profit. Perhaps you just meant "price," or are you shorting mower stock?

TLDR, Cosco has a b&m store?
I saw 2 EV Mowers at my Costco In fact that is the only mowers they had in the store. Seemed to be of high quality, but that was based on looks. You tube has had folks reviewing these. Most complaints are about the batteries. I worry about durability. These are still to new to say if they are as durable or even close.

The good:
- Cuts well
- Quiet
- Very user friend to work on. (Non-proprietary parts, everything labeled, same size bolts to remove the cover)
The bad:
- Lead acid batteries. In my third season I started having random issues where the mower would cut out despite just starting to mow and being above 95% charge. I didn't feel like dealing with getting my mower out to a dealer that services Ryobi so investigated myself. One of the four batteries was more heavily discharged than the other four despite the mower being reported as a full charge. Basically the three batteries and the weak forth would show a full charge voltage early keeping the forth battery from fully charging. Got my harbor freight smart battery charger (basically Desulfates the battery and then varies charging speed until it's fully charged). Did this in May and it's been flawless since.
When the Lead Acid finally give up the ghost I will be putting in some LiFePO4 batteries. My lawn isn't that big so I can drop the capacity to save cost and have the longevity of that chemistry.
Overall I'm happy with it. Wish I lucked out with the $500 clearance for the 54 inch deck.
