Pros & Cons

Pros

None of that headache and hassle with this battery-powered mower. The batteries have good life. The bb store offers a 10% discount for vets and 2% cash back when using their credit card.

Mows a hilly 1/2 acre in about 6 batteries (5aph) it would be nice if it had front swivel wheels, then it make it easier to maneuver.

Other reviewers mentioned a torn shipping box.

The box was well-designed and heavy duty, but shipping with pretty much all carriers is not great these days.

Packaging/appearance


One issue that did occur was the fact that the mower arrived with considerable damage to the packaging resulting in the loss of...  Read More


All the wet grass went into the bag.

Competitiveness


I bought this because i have a garage full of makita 18v tools and love them all.

    Yes the nuts and bolts were rolling free in the box but they were all there somehow apparently the malcontents at ups were a few kicks shy of a full rupture
