• The lawnmower only comes with one battery, which may not be sufficient for larger yards or thicker grass. Users might have to wait for the battery to recharge to complete mowing. (3 reviews)

  • “Anything more than that will require you to wait a few hours for the battery to cool down and recharge. I have to leave the yard half mowed until the recharge, then come back and finish it later.”

    Oct 17, 2023

  • “I would strongly recommend going gas powered if you have any kind of yard that is large or tall/heavy grass as this mower could make it an all day affair between charging and mowing.”

  • “It does take a bit of planning to use as you need to make sure that the battery is charged enough.”
