I suffered through 3 summers of using this mower through shear idiocy and stubbornness. It was very heavy, hard to turn and maneuver.It only would mow less than a quarter of an acre.The lack of cord was nice and it would turn on very easily, but overall I was glad to be rid of that beast.

Battery charged right away and used in the lawn mower the morning after I got them. The lawn mower probably didnt need the second set but I panicked when not making it through my large lawn in one charge on the original set. My grass had gotten pretty high and was the first mowing of the year. Since I have gone without the second set each time. But, I am still glad I got them.

Neuton CE 5.2 14-Inch 24-Volt Cordless Electric Discharge/Mulching/Bagging Lawn Mower With Removable Battery Review

Neuton CE 5.2 14 inch 24-Volt Cordless Electric Discharge/Mulching/Bagging Lawn Mower With Removable Battery
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned this mower for over a year now. I have two large lawns including an area for my dog run which gets high sometimes because I don't mow every week. The major reason I considered buying an electric mower was that the gas rotary mowers I have owned always were hard to start after the Winter season. I saw an ad for the Neuton and a cordless electric seemed attractive. No cord to run over or move around.

RATING DETAILS
Here is where the Neuton earned points:

1) Its starts every time.
2) Its environmentally friendly. No exhaust and no noise.
3) Its lighter than my old steel gas mower (slightly).
4) No leaking fluids when you want to turn it over to clean or maintain the blade.
5) Not that I don't own and like many foreign produced items, but this is made in America (Vermont). It feels good to me to support our domestic market!

Here is where the Neuton lost a few points:

1) After the first year the battery seems to be losing some of its charging capacity. Where I used to get an hour and a half's life on a full charge, now I get maybe an hour. Note this is a lead/acid battery and not a more high tech variety.
2) The trimmer attachment works, but its not really that maneuverable. Keep your corded electric string trimmer and pass on the too expensive trimmer attachment.
3) It takes me two days to mow all my grass. Seriously consider buying the extra battery if you have a lot of lawn to cut.
4) If you expect this mower to be as robust as your gas rotary model, you will probably be disappointed. But since the gas mowers where I live no longer come with a variable throttle, you don't really lose that much power. I see Neuton has a newer, more powerful version now. I would probably have purchased that one if it were available at the time.

Over-all I am happy with the purchase.

Product Description:
Environmentally friendly and exceptionally easy to operate, the Neuton CE 5.2 Battery-Powered Mower is the smart choice for smaller lawns. Selected as "the quietest rotary mower available" by the Noise Pollution Clearinghouse, the CE 5.2 can cut up to a quarter of an acre on a single charge. Furthermore, this mower accepts an optional Trimmer/Edger Attachment. This unique feature allows you trim and edge while you mow, and it's only available on the Neuton Mower.
The Neuton CE 5.2
Battery-Powered Mower:

    Features an environmentally friendly, easy-to-maintain electric design
    Offers 240 watt-hours of energy for cutting tall, thick grass cleanly
    Runs 45 to 60 minutes on a single battery charge
    Includes rear grass bag, side discharge chute, and mulching plug to give you options for clipping disposal
    Folds for easy storage and transport

The versatile CE 5.2 is clean, quiet, easy to start, and easy to maintain. View larger.

The battery lifts out easily, and a single charge provides 45 to 60 minutes of run time. View larger.One Hour of Power on a Single Charge
The Neuton CE 5.2 Battery-Powered Mower is a welcome relief from the arm-yanking pull-starts, noxious fumes, startling noises, and uncomfortable vibrations of a gas lawn mower. It starts every time with a simple push of a button and mows for up to an hour on a single charge--ample time for most small- to medium-sized lawns. Need more time? Unlike other battery mowers with built-in batteries that require you to stop mowing to recharge, the CE 5.2 lets you drop in an optional spare battery and keep on mowing. For added convenience, you can also use the CE 5.2 as a trim mower for larger lawns.
Environmentally Friendly Gas- and Oil-Free Operation
The key benefits of the CE 5.2 are that it works well without compromising the environment, and that it doesn't demand continual maintenance. Because this mower never requires gas or oil, it won't need a tune-up. Plus, it runs clean, meaning it won't release harmful pollutants or carbon emissions into the air. Additionally, no gas or oil means easy cleaning and safe storage without spills or fumes.
Magnet Battery and 3-in-1 Cutting Options for Power and Versatility
This efficient mower owes its robust performance to a 32-amp, 240-watt-hour, 24-volt permanent magnet battery that's both removable and sealed. The battery provides an impressive 45-60-minute run time per charge, depending on grass conditions. The CE 5.2 also offers versatile three-in-one cutting options and includes a rear grass bag (which holds one full bushel of clippings), a side discharge chute, and a mulching plug.
Lightweight for Easy Pushing, Adjustable Height for Greater Flexibility
Easy to operate, the CE 5.2 weighs just 48 pounds, so you won't struggle to push it across your lawn. Additionally, a single-touch height-adjustment lever raises and lowers the cutting blade from 1.2 inches to 3.0 inches, giving you great flexibility.
14-Inch Cutting Width for Better Control and Great Results
Equipped with seven-inch front wheels and eight-inch rear wheels, the CE 5.2 is stable and sturdy, even when mowing around trees or shrubs or on rugged terrain. Its 14-inch cutting width lets you power through your lawn, leaving only manicured grass behind.
Truly Quiet Operation for More Enjoyable Yard Work
Because it runs on a battery, the CE 5.2 boasts a quiet running noise of less than 80 DbA. The low noise level makes operation more pleasant for both you and your neighbors. You might even be able to ditch those ear plugs for good!
Cost-Effective Design Saves You Money
The CE 5.2 saves you money year after year thanks to its low operating costs. The estimated cost to operate a gas mower (including gasoline, oil, spark plugs, filters, and tune-ups) for four years is as much as $260.00. The costs of recharging the battery over four years of mowing 28 times per year with a Neuton Mower is approximately $11.20. That's a huge savings!
Ready to Go Right Out of the Box
With the CE 5.2, you don't have to wait to mow. It arrives with everything you need to get started right away, including the battery, battery charger, and rear grass-collection bag.
Optional Accessories for All-in-One Yard Maintenance
Neuton Mowers have attachments and accessories that give you options other mowers simply can't. For instance, the optional Trimmer/Edger Attachment eliminates the need for a second piece of equipment and gives your yard and walkways a beautiful, clean finish. And for longer running time, you can also purchase an optional Spare Battery (model 178781).
The CE 5.2 measures 18 x 30 x 37 inches (WxHxD), weighs 48 pounds, and comes with a two-year limited warranty.

Toro Recycler (20") 159cc 2-in-1 Push Lawn Mower - 20323 Review

Average Reviews:

If not, like those of us who have full-time jobs, and you'd actually like to take more than 1 inch off of your lawn each time you mow, you should buy a different mower.
I have owned this mower for only a month and it does indeed cut the lawn, but it does not recycle, nor does it bag.

The "recycler" simply slaps gobs of finely ground/pureed grass onto the walls of the deck until the blade becomes off-balance and begins to grind excessively until the engine starts bogging down.Of course this is terrible for the longevity of engine life.I have had to kill the mower after only 2-3 rows, 25ft long, to let the majority of the mulched/pureed grass drop out of the deck.Then begin again.

The "bagger" does basically the same thing, once the grass is mush, the mower tries to shoot it into the bag through a tiny hole which then gets clogged due to the extreme amounts of moisture and lack of space to actually push the grass to the back of the bag. Yes, I waited for a week of dry, hot summer sun, and still the same result.Plants retain moisture.

I am no nubie to mowing lawns either, I worked for a lawn care company for several years, we used Toro products, I like them, correction, I LIKED them (in regards to this product anyway).But I was let-down after purchasing this model.I am also a motorcycle mechanic so I know what is bad for engines.

If this mower had a side discharge it MAY have been a decent product, but who knows. The manual even claims to have a rear discharge chute/deflector, however the dealer had no clue about it and couldn't even find it in their database.

I'll let you know if that changes anything if they ever find it for me to test out.

Solaris S21HB 21-Inch 24-Volt Cordless Bag/Mulch/Side Discharge Lawn Mower Review

Solaris S21HB 21 inch 24-Volt Cordless Bag/Mulch/Side Discharge Lawn Mower
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I initially considered the "SP" version of this mower @ Home Depot...the only model they sell.If you have serious elevation changes in your yard, perhaps the self-propelled version is worthwhile [whether the front-wheel drive Solaris or its rear-wheel drive Epic & Utopia cousins].Otherwise, buy this model.You can't get this info from the Linamar website, but the self-propelled versions are 18# heavier; when you're trying to make a battery charge last, draining them via an extra drive belt to pull/push a [heavier] mower makes little sense.

This mower is solidly built, & the big wheels make it easy to push & quite maneuverable.I gave it a test run, then handed it off to the 16-year old who cuts my grass.No issues.I was particularly pleased to see how well it mulched, as I'm a big believer in leaving clippings to nourish the lawn.There was no clumping, & as long as we don't cut wet grass, I expect it to stay that way.

Other cordless mowers probably perform as well, though most have decks smaller than this one's 21" which means longer mowing time.I think the Solaris' brushless motor is a huge advantage, & expect great longevity.Ultimately, though, I rejected most other mowers because replacing their batteries was cumbersome or impossible; I think that's nuts.The Solaris batteries swap out in seconds.Mine lasted about as long as expected, covering 80% of my .4 acres.With the money I saved by skipping the self-propelled feature [& headaches], I bought a 2nd set of batteries & have power to spare.It's a great solution, & my neighbors--including one who just bought an $800 Honda to get a pushbutton start like mine--are jealous.

The cons are minor.Changing deck height requires moving 4 levers instead of 1...but I only do this a couple of times a season.The tone it emits on stopping is irritating [hold the bail down or pull the key to silence].Charger mechanical connections could be tighter.Overall, though, well-designed & well-built.

I was so excited to get my new Lawnatron battery mower this week. My husband and I thought we'd get another season out of a 10 year old John Deere gas mower, but it didn't make it.We have a little less than 1/2 an acre to mow and wanted to try a battery operated one because of all the no oil- gas convenience. (I do most of the mowing because my husband travels a lot).I did a lot of research online and we also went to Lowes and Home Depot and looked at what they have. We looked at a lot of mowers and the Lawnatron was the only battery model we saw that looked like a ordinary lawn mower, with some tweaks to use the battery instead of a gas engine.

Ordering online from Amazon was straight forward as always, and when I called Green Yard Keeper (the company that sells Lawnatrons) to make some special shipping arrangements, they picked up immediately and the woman I spoke with was friendly and very helpful - a good sign in my opinion.

First some comments about the mower:
For one thing it has a well built steel mower deck which I like because I do bang the mower into things sometimes and I read online that the plastic ones can crack occasionally. It has a safety lock key (we have small kids) but I like that it's up on the handle so you don't have to reach down to use it. After the key is in, just pull up the handle and it's on - it just doesn't get any easier than that which is definitely what I was looking for!It is a lot lighter than our old gas mower and I think about 1/2 as loud.
And since the battery comes precharged (not all models do this I read), I tried it out as soon as we got it out of the box. I tell you the convenience factor for battery mowers isn't hard to figure out as soon as you actually try one.

And about mulching for those of you who prefer this:
I read a lot online about how well different brand battery mowers do or don't bag, but I mulch because we think it's better for the lawn plus we really don't have anywhere to dump grass clippings. This mower mulches fantastic, not a sign of grass clippings anywhere, which is how I want it.I am impressed! It has a quite deep deck which I thinks helps a lot with the mulching more than our old gas mower. All in all, I really like this mower a lot.

Neuton CE 5.4 14-Inch 24-Volt Cordless Electric Mulching/Bagging Lawn Mower with Removable Battery Review

(More customer reviews)
Summary: If you have a very small yard (Perhaps 1000-1500 square feet of lawn) this could be a decent compromise for you, otherwise I don't think the 14" path and limited battery capacity will "cut it"

My neighbor has this one from a couple of years ago and I tried it out.It's smaller, lighter and quieter than the two cordless mowers we've used but that 14" path would probably be a dealbreaker for most people.When you consider that you will overlap each pass by at least 2-3 inches, you're really only cutting 10-11 inches on each pass.
+ Easy to maneuver
+ Quiet
+ Small
+ Super light compared to our B&D CM1100 or Toro, both of which weigh about twice as much


- 14" path!?!?!
- Pricey for what you get
- Hard to cut near obstacles

>>Why SHOULD I get a cordless electric mower? They are super quiet, clean, and convenient. No fumes or exhaust- because gas mowers don't have catalytic converters, they can pollute as much in a year as 43 cars!!!!.They aren't necessarily cheaper than a gas mower since they cost more up front but there is basically NO maintenance. (We spent $80 over 10 years for a set of replacement batteries.) Corded electric mowers are a cheaper but having a cord is a pain.

>>Why SHOULDN'T I get a cordless mower? They weigh a LOT more than gas mowers so if you have a hilly lot or have difficulty with physical exertion, forget it. They don't have as much power as gas and re-fueling means charging for a few hours so if your lot is over ½ acre you may want to reconsider.

>>Why do they all come with mulching PLUS bagging? Electric powered mowers have come a long ways but mulching still takes a LOT more power than discharging, so bagging is pretty much a standard feature.

>>What is a watt-hour? It's basically how big your gas tank is - the more watt-hours, the longer you can mow before you have to recharge.

>>Is the cutting path a big deal? Yes - for two reasons. 1) The first thing manufacturers do when power is marginal is reduce the blade size, so I tend to see the smaller mowers as more likely to be underpowered. Second, when you consider that you have to overlap each pass by ~3", a 20" blade now effectively cuts 13% more on each pass. If you have a larger yard, you definitely do NOT want anything under 18"Also, my measurements show most mowers overstate their blade size by 1/2" (Our 20" measures 19-5/8, our 19 measures 18-1/2)

>>Why might I want a removable battery? If you have a large yard, this means you can have a second battery charging while you are using the first. A second battery typically costs $100-$150 but it can make the difference between going electric or not. Finally, if you keep the mower in a shed that doesn't have power, a removable battery will let you bring it in for charging.

>>How long will my batteries last? That depends on your climate and usage. We had a small lot for many years and were religious about recharging right after use. We also live in a cooler climate (Michigan) so it's cooler and the mowing season is shorter. Our batteries lasted ~7 years. Most people should get 3-4 years easily but if you're careless and live in Arizona, you might be able to kill the batteries in a year or two.

>>Why should I care about higher voltage? Higher voltage = more power, PLUS you can recharge the mower faster. With the same chemistry and current, a 36V mower will charge 50% faster than a 24V mower.

>>Metal deck or plastic? Metal rusts but with minimal care it's not an issue. Plastic ends up giving you a more stuff to trim since you can't cut as close to fences, etc.

First for a frame of reference, I like and prefer the manicured appearance that only a reel mower can provide, and I have the Brill Lexus battery powered, made in Germany, which I have been using for several years. The Brill is good to excellent in its construction, but it lacks the power to cut through very thick grass when its mechanical bypass device kicks in and the reel stops turning as the mower makes a raucously loud and annoying ratcheting sound.The Brill works well, but my experience is that it lags and can't keep up in the spring when the grass has a greater moisture content.In contrast, the All Power reel mower is made in China, and it's design and materials reflect its cheaper price.Where it excels, is that it is much more powerful than the the Brill.However, like most electric mowers, it will be overwhelmed with grass that is growing rapidly and is full of moisture after several days of Spring showers.As mentioned by other reviewers, the plastic parts are minimally constructed and won't stand up to hard use. You will curse the plastic height adjustment. It's shoddily designed and constructed, but it can be made to work if you are able and willing to fiddle with it and if you don't try to make frequent height adjustments.(Once when I was using it in heavy, thick, damp grass, the adjusting device (rollers) fell completely off and had to be reinstalled.)At that point I got special approval from Amazon to return the mower, but in the end I decided to keep it because it fits a need in the set of tools I use on my lawn, which also includes the largest Neutron rotary mower and the cordless Black and Decker.In other words, except for the smallest of lawns or in a dry climate, this mower is insufficient, but it does make the lawn look manicured and most of the the time has the power to do that.Mowing time is much better than the Brill, probably twice and I have an extra battery for the Brill.Lastly, for some reason the AP mower showers your legs with clippings much worse than the Brill, but I think that is because it is much more powerful and spins faster.

I just wanted to say that this battery does come with an extra charger. It was kinda hidden in the box, I would not have noticed it if I didn't break down the box for recycling. It was tucked under a flap in the bottom of the box.
The description didn't say it came with a charger so I was happy to have found it. Now I can charge both batteries at the same time.

Epic EP21H 21-Inch 24-Volt Cordless Self-Propelled Lawn Mower Review

Epic EP21H 21 inch 24-Volt Cordless Self-Propelled Lawn Mower
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had this for about two weeks but just had a chance to use it today. I was very impressed at how quiet it was. Even my wife made a comment about how nice it was not hearing the noise of our gas mower wile she worked in the office. I wasn't sure what to expect as we have a large corner lot and several clumps of thick crabgrass spread throughout the yard. I didn't take it easy on the mower. I used the same cutting height as my gas mower and I left in the mulch plug just so I could compare them side by side. There really wasn't much difference between my 6.5hp 21 inch Yard Man and my new Epic Electric. As I ran them side-by-side they both choked in the same places on thick grass (about 8 inches high) on the first mowing of the season. I did notice that the Epic left some tall grass standing after the cut but I'm guessing that will even out after the grass fills in. It did not leave any clumps of cut grass and even did a better job of mulching than my gas mower. I think it is a winner.

Pros:
First one in my neighborhood.
60% less noise than a gas mower.
Instant on.
Self-Propel works well. Took me along at a nice clip.
Comfortable handle and controls.
Steel deck. Looks like it should last a long time.
Yard looks nice. I was impressed how well it mulches.

Cons:
Manual is a joke. The one for the charger is in broken English. Luckily it is easy to assemble and run.
There is a key in the battery area but no clear directions how to remove it.You have to rock it either forward or backwards with a pretty good push to get it to snap out. I was afraid the first time I did it that I would break it but it is strong plastic.
There is a black adapter you have to put on the batteries (facing each other) if you want to charge the batteries out of the mower. Put them in position first as they are heavy and hard to move after they are connected.
When you engage the Self-Propel it kind of pulls you quickly for a second and then it slows to a normal pace. Took me a couple of times to get the hang of it.

It's good to go GREEN!

I purchased an earlier version of this mower a few years ago which had a 60 volt, removable, battery.The first mower that arrived had a defective selector switch, as did its replacement.The second replacement (third mower) was sent from the manufacturer (who dunned me return shipping for the two defective mowers), and it worked quite well...until a few months later when mowing next to the curb I lifted the front of the mower to turn it around and the front wheels came off and took off down the street.After having the wheels reattached (according to the repair shop, a crucial part had been left off the wheel assembly by the manufacturer), the mower functioned wonderfully...until the battery died last fall and I tried to buy a replacement and couldn't.Apparently, the manufacturer had discontinued the mower and no longer sold replacement batteries or parts.I tried to give the mower to the repair shop who had fixed the wheels-off problem, thinking they might be able to cannibalize it for parts, but they laughed.And laughed.And said "no thank you," and laughed some more.Although I was able to dispose of the dead battery at a battery "recycle" center, the mower itself resides at my city's landfill (so much for going Green).If you're thinking of going Remington, don't.

I have not used this mower, but after 12 years with the B&D CMM1000 and a few weeks with the Toro, I thought I'd add some info to help buyers.

Our CMM1000 struggled in tall or wet grass, but most of the time was adequate on power.It had 24V with a 19" blade. Our 36V / 20" Toro has so far cut everything we've thrown at it, but lacks some of the nicer features the Neuton or newer B&D have.

Neuton was one of the first on the market with a cordless mower so I would trust them more than many of the other new entrants.That said, they are certainly pricey.


I've put a quick guide of the most popular models on Amazon. All info reported by manufacturer. Amazon won't let me put prices in my review, sorry!

>>Why SHOULD I get a cordless electric mower? They are super quiet, clean, and convenient. No fumes or exhaust- because gas mowers don't have catalytic converters, they can pollute as much in a year as 43 cars!!!!.They aren't necessarily cheaper than a gas mower since they cost more up front but there is basically NO maintenance. (We spent $80 over 10 years for a set of replacement batteries.) Corded electric mowers are a cheaper but having a cord is a pain.

>>Why SHOULDN'T I get a cordless mower? They weigh a LOT more than gas mowers so if you have a hilly lot or have difficulty with physical exertion, forget it. They don't have as much power as gas and re-fueling means charging for a few hours so if your lot is over ½ acre you may want to reconsider.

>>Why do they all come with mulching PLUS bagging? Electric powered mowers have come a long ways but mulching still takes a LOT more power than discharging, so bagging is pretty much a standard feature.

>>What is a watt-hour? It's basically how big your gas tank is - the more watt-hours, the longer you can mow before you have to recharge.

>>Is the cutting path a big deal? Yes - for two reasons. 1) The first thing manufacturers do when power is marginal is reduce the blade size, so I tend to see the smaller mowers as more likely to be underpowered. Second, when you consider that you have to overlap each pass by ~3", a 20" blade now effectively cuts 13% more on each pass. If you have a larger yard, you definitely do NOT want anything under 18"Also, my measurements show most mowers overstate their blade size by 1/2" (Our 20" measures 19-5/8, our 19 measures 18-1/2)

>>Why might I want a removable battery? If you have a large yard, this means you can have a second battery charging while you are using the first. A second battery typically costs $100-$150 but it can make the difference between going electric or not. Finally, if you keep the mower in a shed that doesn't have power, a removable battery will let you bring it in for charging.

>>How long will my batteries last? That depends on your climate and usage. We had a small lot for many years and were religious about recharging right after use. We also live in a cooler climate (Michigan) so it's cooler and the mowing season is shorter. Our batteries lasted ~7 years. Most people should get 3-4 years easily but if you're careless and live in Arizona, you might be able to kill the batteries in a year or two.

>>Why should I care about higher voltage? Higher voltage = more power, PLUS you can recharge the mower faster. With the same chemistry and current, a 36V mower will charge 50% faster than a 24V mower.

>>Metal deck or plastic? Metal rusts but with minimal care it's not an issue. Plastic ends up giving you a more stuff to trim since you can't cut as close to fences, etc.

I ordered what I assumed was a battery pack for my battery powered cordless lawn mower.Based on the image shown, I expected this to be supplied in the battery enclosure.Instead, I received two large batteries which I had to insert in the existing battery enclosure of the lawnmower.This was not particularly difficult however.The price was approx $99 for batteries that can be obtained locally for about 30-50% of that cost.Before buying, I would suggest you open your battery enclosure and take one the two batteries to a local commercial battery store where you will save a lot of money.

I rated this mower at five stars because it delivered all that it promised.I also went directly through the Company (sorry, Amazon) because my comfort-zone with the price suggested to me that I should by-pass the middleman.From day-one, the company courteously answered all my pre-purchase questions, walked me through shipping - assembly- and operations, including tips to use the mower more effectively.

Using my push mower, my suburban lawn used to take me almost three hours to do, and that with my wife's help.(I'm retired, i.e., well over 21.) Now I do it by myself in about one hour.After about eight mowings already, I am quite satisfied.Operationally, the twin blades cut well, and the bagger is superb.The power is more than adequate, both in chomping grass and rises in terrain with rider and full load of grass.I also tested the charging capacity.I did a couple of double-runs on one recharge, for a total of about two and three-quarters of an hour.It can do the promised three hour running time per charge.

It was refreshing, considering the cost of the machine, to have so many safeguards to protect the mower itself, as well as the obvious safety to operator and other wee critters nearby.For me, it is more agile that a conventional tractor-type.I appreciate not having bio-hazards in the garage, no odors, and almost nothing in maintenance.With an estimated 25-30 recharges per mowing season,I would anticipate a long, long time before needing to replace the battery pack.

If you have a normal suburban-sized lawn, and a noisy conventional gas riding mower does not excite you, I could recommend the Recharge Electric riding mower without reservation.

A Greener Lawn, A Greener Planet
With the Recharge Mower, you can finally make your lawn truly green.

The Recharge Mower also features a 27-inch wide cutting path--bigger than conventional walk-behind mowers, yet small enough to allow for free movement through an average fence gate, giving you convenient access to front and rear yards.

The Recharge Mower was designed with a host of features that ensure optimum user safety. To start, an operator-presence switch prevents the unit from functioning when the operator leaves the seat.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this mower partially based on the review here, and I'm glad I did. I was originally looking at traditional rotary mowers (cordless electric), all of which were more expensive than this mower. I'm glad I saved some money. I have a smallish yard, living in a small city, with a wraparound yard and 8' wide grass between the sidewalk and streets (it's on the corner). I would guess 1/4 acre size, but I don't really know off-hand...

The very first time I used this, this May, was a morning after it rained and the lawn had not been cut yet that year. The grass was thick, wet and ready for a fight. The mower performed really well. I had to go back over spots or walk extra slow a few times, but generally I walked as fast as I would with a rotary on this sort of grass and it cut just as well. It lasted almost the whole lawn on one battery charge, too, so in normal mowing I'm not worried about battery life whatsoever. It's very light and easy to maneuver, much lighter than I thought it would be.

I've never used a reel mower before. I don't use the bag so it shoots the grass out at my shins and knees, so I made a simple cardboard shield. Not a big deal. Also, it's impossible to get edges (that a rotary would get), around trees and along the curb and sidewalk--anywhere that the height varies--so you may want to get a trimmer if you don't have one. The wheels take up some width, and then the casing does, THEN you get to the blade, so there is probably 2-3" of non-cutting stuff on either side and an inch or two in front before the blade comes into play.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone with a small to average lawn. I would only not recommend it if you have an acre or more of lawn, or mostly little tricky bits to mow around. Hopefully I'll get some solar panels hooked up soon and be able to charge it from the sun. :)

Product Description:
A powerful, convenient alternative to the conventional petrol or mains powered lawn mowers. Lightweight compared to other cylinder / reel mowers and by removing the battery you can drop the weight by a further 5.5kg and use it as a push power mower.This battery has a very impressive 7Ah capacity able to cut approx. 500sq metres on a single charge.

The cylinder / reel blade cutting system is more efficient than rotary types and produces a much cleaner cut, this in turn help keep your lawn healthy. The battery is easy to remove and replace and is locked into position by laying its handle down. A removable key immobilises the product so it can be left safely in gardens where children are around.

The Handle parks vertically which means it doesn't take up much room when being stored. The onboard electronics protect the motor, battery and mechanics from overloading due to the blades stalling or similar and also warns you when the battery is nearly depleted, and will break the circuit before any damage can be done to the battery.

To start the mower a double action system is installed for safety but the full width trigger can be held with either hand.
