Anyone have a battery lawn mower

I don’t think there’s a battery mower on the market with enough of a charge for me to finish my lawn in one go, otherwise I would be more interested. A couple neighbors have them and the extreme level of silence is also kind of creepy.

I go through 2 and a half batteries to mow around 1/3 of an acre.

Crap we have 0.5 acre will need to re evaluate potentially. What model do you use

Posted: **Tue Apr 13, 2021 7:09 am**

Pretty sure dodint has one, too.

I just bought a 60 volt toro mower. Used half a battery on about 750 sq feet of lawn plus weed whacking

edit:
that was with idiotically high grass. also, by half battery I mean there were two out of four green lights on when I was done. I don't know if that means half empty, somewhere between half and 1/4 empty, or somewhere between half and 3/4 full.

I can mow 1/3 acre on a single battery charge. Are you standing on top of the thing in self-propel mode?

Or letting the grass grow to long. I have mine on lowest setting to cut the most and I only ever use more than half a charge if the lawn gets too long or I'm mulching leaves in the fall.

I love my Black & Decker. Little small for my new yard so it's just been sitting in storage. Was great for the Pittsburgh house, though.

Mine holds two batteries and you can switch between them when the first gets low.

And it's surprisingly loud, not much quieter than a gas mower. The percussive noise isn't there but the steady din is loud enough you have to put your podcast on high volume to hear it.

This is the one I have:

I was just telling my wife over the weekend I don't know what to do with it.

Sell it to LITT. Everyone wins.

I have a Greenworks model, not self-propelled. And only one of my batteries is high capacity. My yard is also a pita the mow, trees everywhere, so I can't just go back and forth in a straight line.

I should open a business right now. I have the following I'm trying to sell:

Self-propelled push mower
Old timey motorless push mower
The electric mower mentioned above
Gas weed eater
Electric weed eater
Various chain saws; gas/electric.

This is in addition to the rider I sold mac last year. My in-laws were very into lawn care, but I don't have time for that so I pay a lawn service. All this **** is just taking up space.

If LITT, or anyone, wants the electric mower I'd give it to them for a very good price. It's a few years old. Would come with one charger and I believe one battery. Last year one of the batteries just stopped accepting a charge and I threw it away, been using the one from the leafblower. They're $120 on Amazon. So if you paid $30 for the mower and bought yourself a battery you'd be in a good spot for less than half what I paid for the mower. ($150 on $400). Or just run it on one battery and recharge every 1/4 acre.

I’ll take the motorless push mower

You have to hand deliver it though

It might be worth the effort, I almost stuck my foot in it while cleaning it for pictures.

Posted: **Tue Apr 13, 2021 10:40 pm**

It takes me 1.5 hours using a 6 foot mower to mow my lawn (weird flex)

Speaking of that rider, I'm trying to find it a new home this year. The hydrostat trans went kaput at the end of last season, and I honestly don't feel like swapping a new (used) one in. Figured maybe someone will want it for the big motor or big deck. My dad acquired a new riding mower late summer last year and the one he bought became his "back up" so he's no worse for wear.

Dang. Sorry man.

Posted: **Tue Apr 13, 2021 11:25 pm**

It's all good. It made money and then some last year.

You jabronis were less than helpful with my pressure washer question so I’m going with a Simpson and will report back.

Posted: **Wed Apr 14, 2021 12:35 pm**

Just rent one from Home Depot. How often are you actually going to use it? I did a day rental last year and did two houses, it was great.

Posted: **Wed Apr 14, 2021 12:57 pm**

Rent??

Posted: **Wed Apr 14, 2021 2:22 pm**

I really don't want yet another lawn tool laying around.

Posted: **Wed Apr 14, 2021 3:02 pm**

Anyone have a power washer suggestion? I'd love to be able to get my vinyl fence, which is about 125 feet at it's furthest from an outdoor faucet. Electric or gas makes no never mind to me
I have a ryobi. Most of their tools are dogshit but the pressure washer I have is pretty solid.
I have a SunJoe from Amazon that's been killer. 3+ years no issues.
Which one do you have?

Your question had some answers and I bought this one for myself. I hope there are none left since you are slow.
