I really like mine so far. I have a smaller lawn 6,000 sqft and was using a push mower but when it gets really hot and humid I don't do as well so I needed something that I could still go out and get the job done without much hassle. It does indeed look like a toy in the video, that guy is major tall. I am 6'-1" and works great for me and small enough to maneuver well in my lawn. I can't answer the battery question fully other then Lithium seems to be the better overall choice for most battery scenarios. No problems so far, second year of using it. I get 3 cuts out of a full charge.
MotoAtheist I have a 3/4 acre lot, with a gnarley hill. I’m wondering if this could do the back half that’s very hilly. My current snapper stalls on hills and has to be scooted
@@kylestyer8240 In the instructions it mentions "do not trim excessively steep slopes of 12 degrees. approx. 1.6 feet drop for every 10 feet." I have a very odd section that slopes down west to east ending at a fence line. Amazingly enough it's right at 10 feet wide and drops about 1.5 feet. So it's right at that exact criteria. It's a bit steeper on the north end and less steep at the south end. So I slowly drop in at the north end and turn to cut across the slope going from north to south and drive back up the shallower south end. It actually says not to cut across slopes like that, but it does work. It's really my only option unless I want to push mow it. It does not like the other direction trying to turn and come up the steeper side since I'm already at an angle and can't get any momentum while turning up at that slope angle. If it wasn't for the fence right at the bottom I could do something different, just go straight down the hill and come back up the south end and just keep doing that instead of going across. This little slope continues in the side yard without a fence in the way, but I only have about 3 feet of flat at the bottom before the neighbors garage sidewalk. I can follow along that sidewalk to keep my momentum, make the turn and climb up the slope and turn again to cut across the slope. I can also come at it from the front yard at the top of the slope, cut across the slop turn and come down the slope and then follow along the sidewalk. It has some pretty good torque, but it's also not extremely heavy so I don't think it has the proper weight ratio to allow it to really grip and power up anything too much beyond it's recommended slope range. I feel with a running start at a slope it would help a bit. Check out this video. It's pretty much the same mower and she goes up quite a big hill. It clearly helps when you don't have to make a turn at the base and can get a better straight shot at the hill. th-cam.com/video/8CajWuWrHx4/w-d-xo.html
Would love to know more about this mower from owners. Theres like 3 reviews on it. Are the lithium ion batteries that much better for a lawn mower?
