Electric mowers are fairly light compared to gas.

Last nite, I was looking at the $299 40v 6ah Kobalt at Lowes [lowes.com]. How does that compare to this model in terms of quality and battery discharge time? (I don't care for self-propelled nor plastic decks.)

EDIT: The sale on the Kobalt just ended last night.. Now it's back to $349. But still, given the price of $299 for the Kobalt vs $261 for this one, which is better? Thanks so much. Darn, just realized this doesn't have a grass catcher.

i mow 1.5 acres with my 21inch version of this, not self-propelled…that's a pathetic waste of battery power. Use this to get in good enough shape to use this.

Says someone who never had a self propelled 😂😂
My honda mower is self propelled. My Electric isn't. Pushing the electric is practically no effort. The real issue is maneuvering the mower around tight corners/edges/making "u-turns." You can't really use self propelled for this, and its these awkward maneuvers, IMO that require the most physical effort. Electric is 10x easier in these scenarios due to the lower over all weight.

And this might date me but doesn't make it less true "one more feature is just one more thing to break." lol But to each their own.

Wow what a waste of time not a battery 😂😂

I am in way better shape than 98.999% of people but rather work smarter than harder .

Sure you can use self propelled for turns and maneuvers, use it more and figure it out. again mine is 60lb and I have no issues

Assuming the kobalt uses 6a draw - 40v*6a = 240w. Greenworks 60v*5a = 300w. High voltage = faster spinning blade. Higher amperage = blade can maintain speed against back pressure (e.g. thick/tall grass.) All that aside, next thing I would look at is battery replacement costs on Amazon. The 40v kobalt and 60v greenworks seem to be on par cost wise, but 40v kobalt to 40v greenworks, greenworks is cheaper, meaning overall greenworks batteries are cheaper per watt. Last, would look at other tools that use the same battery. Both seem to offer "tool only" options (no battery) in their respective 40 or 60v variants. Last would be the reviews. The kobalt has a few that seems to be critical of the runtime. Almost sounds like defective batteries. So all things being equal I would go Greenworks, but take this FWIW and do your homework. Smilie

I've used mine for years. Still do sometimes at the beginning of the season. Not sure why you are taking this personally, but there are scenarios you have to put some elbow grease into maneuvering, that's all I was saying. I get it, you are lazy, get a self-propelled, no one is stopping you.

Work smarter not harder 👍 you do what works best for you.

Great reply! Thank you! Often wondered the difference between 40v*6ah vs 60v*4ah. Runtimes should be about the same (240w)? Yes, I read a lot of the Kobalt reviews and many are surprised at the shorter run times. My search continues. Thx.

Not necessarily. The greenworks states it has a runtime of ~1h. 60v using a 60v 5amp hour battery running for one hour means it runs at 5a. e.g. if it used 1a, it would run for ~5h, etc. The kobalt doesn't state a runtime that I could see. It's also pertinent to note that some batteries can output more amps than their amp hour rating, e.g. if the 60v used, say 10a, it would run for 30m @ 600w, etc. So it really boils down to the specifications. From my experience, 40+v electric mowers will do the job for a typical residential lawn. Batteries/runtime is obviously dependent on the size of the lawn.

Should have also noted a batteries amp hour rating doesn't mean the motor can use all of it or even that it isn't using a higher amperage than the amp hour rating. The amp hour rating is really just a measure of how long the battery will last under various wattage draws. It's also not indicative of how much amperage the battery can provide. Only the greenworks lists the 60m runtime in which you can back into the amp rating fairly easily.
