Even though this only has a 14-in cutting width, it took less than 10 min to mow about 2200 sq ft of yard. If you've got a 1/4 acre yard, you may want to get a 20+–in wide mower that will be at least double or triple this price.
Be aware that the charger for this does not have an an overcharge cut-off, and the instructions say that if you do not remove the charger after it finishes charging (in about 3-5 hours), the charger still trickle charges the battery and this may kill the battery sooner.
They also caution you not to store the battery in a discharged state--charge it right after mowing--and not to charge or store outside when the temperature is very high. Mine was stored outside in summers that are regularly over 100F. These are recommendations similar to most battery-powered mowers.

I'm now looking for a replacement 28V Lithium ion battery (one that costs less than this whole mower), since the mower itself was still working fine, and I am considering getting a third party battery.
EDIT: The mower is working again! It seems the charger was not working properly and the red charging light would turn off even though it was still charging the mower. So I was able to charge it now, and it is back running again! Over the past couple of years, the barrel connector to the charging port needed a little twisting to make a good connection. No need for another battery for now.
Also, this refurbished model only comes with a 6-month warranty.
