 "this thing powers through tall grass, but is very hard to push" | 2009-11-06 |

This lawnmower works great for my small yard, I averaged 3 cuts per charge this summer. My yard is only .10 acre, but I would go over it once to cut, and second time to clear the grass clippings. I don't use the bag attachment since it fills up way to quick and I had to keep stopping to change it. I found it easier to cut once, and mulch the second time. I did let the grass get a tad too high, and this still cut through it, I even mowed over some plants I no longer wanted.
One very big con is that it's heavy! It is fine to push down hill, or flat, but when it comes to pushing up hill, it is a challenge and a workout! |

| Great mower. It is a little on the heavy side but that is b/c of the battery. The back wheels ended up bending but customer service is great. Shipped new wheels out free of charge. Great company. |

I've received the product for a month. Done four mowing with one charge only, still have some left. Though I have a small lawn. The grass was cut nicely and neat (the motor is very powerful and blade is sharp) without any gas fume. With 500 charges in a battery life, I don't have to worry the replacement in first two years.
One drawback I discovered is that somehow after mowing the little cut grass spill out of the bag. Other than that I'm very happy with this mower. |

 "Think Twice" | 2009-10-12 |

Although I really do like this mower. Think twice before buying it. I need to purchase a second battery just to finish my yard. I can usually get my whole front yard done, but the battery dies before I can get to the back yard. Also, this model does not have a self-propel feature, meaning: it is harder to push and hard to manuever when turning corners. It is kind of heavy for me. Also, you can't just hose it off, I have to carefully wipe it down, after a mow, due to the electric battery. The soft rubber handle grip is degrading already. It becomes bogged down in some taller grass, or grass that is wet from morning dew (loses it's charge).
If I had to do it over again. I would purchase a riding mower, a non electric mower, or hire my yard done.
Overall, I like the mower. It just could have been designed better. Also, my fault for not making sure it had all the features I needed.
Pros: Nice looks. Good for environment? Mulches nice. Easy to store.
Cons: Need extra battery to finish lawn. No self-propel. Hard to manuever/heavy. Cleaning (can't just hose it off). Rubber handle is degrading. Bogged down in taller or wet grass (loses it's charge).
I would think twice before purchasing this mower. |

I Love this mower. It works as well or better than any gas powered mower I've used, and costs less than some 20'' gas mowers. The design and construction are excellent quality.
I had some concern about how big an area I can mow on a single charge; all I can say is that the above average size (40ft x 100ft) mobile home lot that I mow doesn't even use up the first green charge indicator (3 green lites, 1 amber, 1 red).
My only complaint is that it should come with a 'smart' charger, one that you can plug in and forget about, that won't overcharge the battery, and that maintains the battery at it's peak charge capacity. The 'dumb' charger that comes with it will overcharge the battery if left on too long, and through the winter you must remember to charge the battery once a month. Hopefully Earthwise will show some sense and include a smart charger on future models. I wanted to give this five stars, but not including a smart charger was just plain dumb...
In spite of this, I like using an electric mower more than a gas-powered, and I am impressed with the quality and performance of this mower. |

 "Great Little Mower" | 2009-09-16 |

| I have been using this mower all summer. It's been great not having to get gas, or check oil, or check the air filter,,,, ect... I have a yard that I knew was really too big for a cordless electric, but I purchased this mower anyway and got a 2nd battery. I love this mower it's quiet, easy to manuver, and really does a good job. I does get bogged down in thick or wet grass, but it does great most of the time. The battery lasts longer than I thought it would too. When the grass is within a normal height to be cut, I can mow the entire yard on one battery. Most of the time, I wait a little too long and have to use the 2nd battery to mow the final 15 minutes of yard though. Works great would recommend to anyone who takes less than 45 minutes to mow their yard. Anything over that I would recommend getting a 2nd battery. WE NEED TO GET TO A FOSSIL FUEL FREE SOCIETY!!!!! |
