Homeowners: PLEASE tell me someone has tried this lawn mower!

[matcom]

CORDLESS electric 18" deck. it takes me about 45 minutes to mow my lawn. this says it will run up to 1 hour on a single charge. so quiet you could mow at midnight without your neighbors hearing you (if you were so inclined i suppose)

no gas, no oil, no pulling, no noise. i wonder if it cuts like a gas mower? :shrug:

1. $380 for the mower

and $80 for a spare battery if you need it. I don't think that's a bad price. I've never heard of it until now, though, so I don't know how well it cuts.

[matcom]

2. great price IMHO

when you talk about not needing gas/oil/spark plugs/etc...

on edit: just saw a tv commercial for it and went to the website

3. Not that exact one, but we did have an electric mower for a while

It worked great, extremely quiet. We ended up getting a lawn service, but still have that mower.

5. Where do you live and how much will you sell it for?

[Midlodemocrat]

6. Virginia. It is currently in the storage unit. I don't know if he wants

to sell it, frankly, but it has been a long time since he mowed the lawn.

4. You wuss

[matcom]

7. fuck off

me and my backpack leaf blower will see YOU around 5 am :P

[xultar]

9. Did you ever get Mrs. Matcom that puppy?

[DS1]

11. like this?

but hand trowels instead of throwing knives, a battery-operated leafblower instead of 2 sawed-off shotguns, and a scooter instead of a Harley?

:D

[Midlodemocrat]

8. Why doesn't he just get a push me, pull you?

See, if he got that greyhound, he could attach the push me, pull you to the greyhound and let the dog mow while he drinks Scotch. But, far be it for me to tell him that.

17. Oh Boy, that brings back memories !

Mom used that 'clipper' nipper when we were kids. Ouch !

10. I haven't used that model, matcom, but I've used a very old

electric mower for about five years here, and they are, indeed, quieter, less stinky, and best of all, no gas. It cuts beautifully because we regularly replace the blade (rather than having it sharpened). I personally believe electric is the way to go, though I mow with a cord rather than a charge, and I'm skeptical about the one-hour run-time on a single charge. I don't even have that kind of luck with a brand new laptop.

[DS1]

12. Isn't that laptop a Mac?

:hide:

[Heidi]

13. It's new, but it's not a Mac. Not that it matters.

I was expressing my skepticism for all things requiring a charge. :hi:

Edited to add: My laptop is not a Mac. :silly: But my first computers were Macs, and I can go either way.

[DS1]

14. Then it's working perfectly

'cause there's nothing on a Mac worth doing for more than an hour :D
:yoiks:

[Heidi]

15. I'm not a Mac user

but the graphic artist who works for CMW's business, and does the promotional materials for my exhibits, is, and he feels that way about _every_ OS. :rofl:

(No need to go yoiksing away. You crack me up about 85 percent of the time, DS1, just so ya know. :D )

[Deja Q]

16. What happened to the old metal types?

Of course, they lacked the automatic bagging, but still...

[yellowdogintexas]

18. I have an electric lawnmower, still going great after 9 years. Not

cordless, has a grass catcher attachment. No pulling, no gas, no oil, much lighter weight. Much much quieter. Cuts very well.

I need a new blade for mine, but that's easy enough. We have a very long heavy duty fire engine yellow extension cord.

One my favorite features is the actual on/off mechanism. it is a lever which flips up into the handle, so you just grip it as part of driving the mower. If you take your hands off the mower, it turns off instantly. Mine will mulch or cut normally.

When it dies, I will replace it with another electric.

19. It will surprise no one when I weigh in on this

Mowbot, baby! :D

:rofl:

[crispini]

20. I have this one.

Seriously.



No gas, no oil, no pulling, no noise. And I actually have mowed at ungodly hours of the morning because it gets so damn hot here in the summer. FYI, I have about 2,000 square feet of lawn.

21. Cordless? No. I have a regular electric mower with a cord.

It works for me, but I have a small yard.
