Which one is better between the OP and this one at Walmart for $398?
Greenworks model 2544802 4 years labor and parts. It has turbo, where you manually press a handle button to increase blade speed, but I cannot find any mention of Smartcut. Manual towards the bottom of the page https://www.greenworkst

I've looked at this a couple of times. Less maneuverable, wider cut. Dual battery.
Big issue. The gear box from the motor to the blades uses four plastic gears. One person who had one stripped was unable to find parts. Consistently comes up about getting parts. They don't need them a lot, but when they do they are unreliable. I am mowing two acres, having my Kobalt wheels going bad in eight years - that's a LOT of lawn mowing, especially as I have two more acres of flood plain that gets cut a couple of times a year
Hitting something with a directly driven blade can bend the shaft. With a gearbox, it should be better because you just have to replace the shaft to a blade, and any gears that were damaged. But if the parts are unavailable, then the added complexity (and cheap construction) without parts means your mower just as dead no matter what you hit, if it's shaft bending hard. Plus now you have the gearbox simply failing, adding an entirely new point of failure.
