21" 48V Cordless Self Propelled Lawn Mower Kit

I’ve been using this machine since September 2023; the simplicity and quality of this mower cannot be overstated. Ease of Assembly: The mower comes 90% assembled; I let my neighbor friend put it together because she asked to and it took her maybe 25 minutes. I lifted it out of the box for her; it’s super lightweight but WELL constructed. I have an extremely uneven and bumpy yard and I walk briskly. It has handled the “abuse” and it looks brand new. Lightweight: The same neighbor borrowed it and she was surprised how light and maneuverable the mower is, but it is not at all flimsy. She weighs maybe 115lbs soaking wet and no upper body strength (not a slam on her, just providing for and idea how lightweight this thing is) Charges Quickly: From zero charge to full charge in less than 1 hour. Charge Duration/Life: I have consistently experienced a 45-minute duration. Curiously, this machine just shuts down when the battery is depleted. There is not a gradual loss of power; I assume this is built into the battery circuitry. Surprisingly Powerful: I cut my WET grass which was over 6” tall as seen in the picture. It buzzes through it like hot butter. I was NOT mulching; throwing to the side outwards and had ZERO issues. The mower does not bog down rather it appears to / sounds like it powers up when resistance is encountered. This did seem to affect the battery duration by about 15%. I can usually finish my entire yard on a single charge, but it stopped about 7-8 minutes early. I put hot batteries on the charger, and they were 100% in less than an hour. (I cut wet grass in between Florida downpours, and it’s been two weeks and crazy tall.) Surprisingly Quiet: This thing is quieter than a hair dryer. It makes a low hum, and you can hear ambient noises, no problem. You can cut your grass at 8a.m. on a Sunday (as I did today) and not wake the neighbors. I asked if they heard anything when they were leaving for church, and they said they wondered WHEN I cut my grass because the woke to my fresh cut lawn! It’s quieter than my cordless weed trimmer too (B&D). Stink Free: With the absence of gas and oil, there is NO smell when you store this mower indoors. You also do not smell like cut grass and gas/smoke when you are done mowing. I just blow this thing off with my leaf blower and occasionally wipe it down and it looks like the day I purchased it. In Sum: Negatives = Zero. Nice to Have: A battery life meter on the handle OR a large display on the battery compartment would be the ONLY thing additional that I would engineer into this mower to make it perfect. There IS a small LED life meter on each battery, but you must stop the mower, open the battery cover and squeeze a button to see how much charge is remaining. Big whoop, but the “cool factor” would be a selling point. Note: I purchased the 21" for $257 less than a year ago. It now sells for $380. 48% increase! However, still worth the money at that price.
