The Good:
- The simplicity of electric tools: next-to-zero maintenance, no pull-starts.
- The deck height adjustment works like a charm and takes seconds.
- Vibration (lack of). I had forgotten how much a cheap gas pushmower shakes until I used my friend's mower last week. My hands started going numb from the shaking. This thing is smooth.
The Bad:
- Power is on the low side. It's fine if you mow every week but if you get behind you'll probably need to do a rough and a finish cut so it won't get too bogged down.
- Batteries. Unless your yard is stamp-sized or you're just using this around the edges, you'll need more batteries. Ours came with 4ah batteries, which we get 20-30 mins of use out of. I had to buy two more 4ah sets to have enough in charging rotation to mow without stopping. Our front yard is about .3 acres and it takes 2-3 charges to get through it, depending on grass height.
The Ugly:
Blades: It takes proprietary blades which are a little challenging to source correctly. I eventually found the right ones on Amazon, but you're probably not going to find them locally.
Overall I've been pretty happy with it and have been preaching the electric yard tool gospel ever since.
