So, Bobbi used
the new mower first, a couple weeks back. She pronounced it serviceable. This past weekend it was my turn to see how it worked...
It was set to the second lowest height, which led to the bag getting filled quickly. It took three times dumping it out, which nearly filled two paper leaf bags. We need to set up a chicken wire enclosed composting area in the back yard, clearly.
The mower comes with two different-sized batteries: A 2Ah and a 4Ah. I put the smaller of the two in the number one battery slot and mowed the front yard and half of the back yard before it beeped and switched batteries. (Complete with a little red indicator to show which socket was providing the juice.)
It's plenty light and easy to push, and not having to deal with the extension cord or messing around with a gas can and pull start is a bonus. It's quiet, too. It's early days yet, but I'm pretty happy with this purchase so far.
