if you've been on the fence about a battery powered mower

[KingBlack]

Definitely a good deal, money wise. How much acreage do you have? Post back your feedback after you've tried it out.

this house is .2 acres. the 4ah battery should cover the lawn, but the extra 2ah with it should do the job for sure.

 

[CobraBob]

Yeah, that's why I asked. Sounds like it will handle your .2 acres just fine.

The link works for me. I added it to the first post.

Sid, I couldn't see a link from my home desktop computer (only the generic Amazon.com link). And I just went to the first post and still do not see a link, except for the generic link. I do, though, see a momentary icon that must indicate an error of some sort. I have a block of blank space above the mower detail image, about the size of the image. But no link.

Same issue with two different browsers. Chrome and Edge.

I have the 80v Kobalt set and love them, they have been perfect for the past 2.5 years. Not sure about the Greenworks stuff but the Kobalt mower has a 2-stage power mode that kicks it in high when it senses thicker grass. Best thing is since they start with a button the wife loves doing yard work now while I work on stuff in the garage.

That is a great deal for that setup!

Can you post a screen cap of what you are seeing? Are you running any type of ad blocker? Can you see embedded YouTube vids?

No lie, a friend of mine was electrocuted using a corded electric mower maybe 35 years ago.

He lived huh?

Nope.

Its powered by wine, estrogen and tampons.

I bought a 4 stroke weed eater, because I didn't want to mix gas. Horrible idea, bitch is heavy, she grunts though.

Unless you buy a Stihl, weed eaters are a losing proposition. They consistently die and are frustrating to deal with. In our case, we have a 1/3 of an acre. I specifically went out and bought a Honda powered push mower. Works pretty well and since we deweeded the hell out of the yard, it's much easier to mow now. But in the context of this thread, we bought a Kobalt 40v weed eater last weekend. Has two speeds, and worked flawlessly.

I'm pretty damn happy with it since I won't have to fight the 2 cycle battle every spring when I get the lawn equipment out for the first time. I don't think I'll ever jump to an electric mower.. but electric weed eaters are dope. I don't have to buy gas, I can drink beer since it's so lightweight, and it's easy to maintain.

I find buying the pre-mixed Stihl t-stroke gas makes a big difference in not fighting carb issues.

I bought an ego 21" last year for 500 on sale with the 7.5ah battery and it has been absolutely fantastic. I will never use a gas mower again unless I move to a house with a much bigger lawn.

I have a Ego blower and hedge trimmer along with the Echo gas ones. They make some good stuff

I would have went diesel.

You listen here amEgo. Shit woops that was Cobra. I don't know if I have any ammo for you. Go buy a case of Stihl 2 cycle gas, you Nazi. That's all I got.

My 4 stroke weed eater... 19lbs dry.

Battery technology is coming along nicely. The only thing NOBODY seems to get right when it comes to batteries is a friggin dust buster. We've gone through two of the stupid things that only hold a charge twice then die permanently.

Not sure what your tool brand of choice is but I have the Makita dust buster and it's awesome. Runs on the same batteries as all my Makita drills and impacts. Was about 80 bucks without a battery.

I picked those up too a couple of months ago after rolling up 100' of extension cord. They both work so well that I was kind of pissed that I waited so long.
