Summary: No gas - whoopie! 5 years old and running strong!
Comment: I bought mine over 5 years ago; it was only $20 cheaper back then. I've had no problems and nothing has broken on it. I clean the grass off it each time I use it and sharpen the blade a couple times a year. You just have to get used to using one of these things; cord management, how to attack tall grass, etc. But it's so much lighter and easier to use than a gas mower. But, I have a small yard that I mow it with and it takes me about 25 minutes to do it all, and I only have to mow maybe 6 times a year. Over 5.5 years this comes to 14 hours of operation. For me it's the right choice as it is easier and cheaper to maintain and operate than a gas mower and with the small yard I don't have to hassle with 200' of electrical cord to get the job done. It would probably far outlive an equivalent gas mower.

Summary: cuts well
Comment: Mulch factor is good. Runs quitely. It is a little heavy to push around.
If you turn into your cut at the end of each run, the cord is manageable.
Overall it is a good purchase.

Summary: Love electric
Comment: Works just fine. However, I should have purchased one where the handle switches, and you don't have to turn the entire machine around at the end of the row. I had a bit of a problem when assembling the machine, so it took longer than anticipated. Watched the grass grow in the meantime. It takes care of my yard just fine, and I don't have to worry about fumes from a gas mower, and don't have to figure out if I have enough gas to finish the lawn. Gotta love that!

Summary: I love, husband not so much!
Comment: I really like this mower. Works really well on my mid-size florida yard. Great mulching ability! Love the way it starts up every time, first time. My husband does not like the cord or "leash" as he calls it. Overall I would recommend it to my friends.
