10yr old Lawn Mower, replaced the blade and spark plug at the beginning of this season. Noticed a good amount of oil smoke on start up and shut down.
Went to cut the grass yesterday, pulled the cord, and it wouldn't budge....womp womp, motor is seized, YAY! :roll:
I was really hoping to make it through this season, and planned on switching over to EGO like I have with the Blower and Weedeater next spring.
So, I ended up grabbing the Self Propelled Ego 21in mower, came with a 7.5mAh battery that is supposed to be good for 60 minutes of run time, and a "Rapid Charger" that'll charge the battery in 1hr. It will also charge my 2.5mAh batt in half the time compared to the normal charger.
The mower folds up to take up about a 2ft x 1ft space up against the wall in the garage.
5yr warranty on mower, 3yr warranty on battery.
It did its job just as well as any gas mower I have used.
I have right at a .25 acre lot, and it handled it easily with about 25% remaining in battery. It really is weird....it just sounds like you are walking a fan around the yard, and I forgot how effortless it is to mow with a self propelled mower.
Not sure how it would do if you were trying to mow an over grown field, but it handled my grass, which had shot up to about 8 inches tall after not being able to mow due to perfectly timed rain.
I don't regret the purchase, I would recommend it if you are looking. I was gonna go Self Propelled Honda, so I wasn't too far off of that price going this route.
