I've had the Kobalt 80V electric mower for about 5 years now and it works great. As others have mentioned, long/wet grass drains the battery and doesn't result in a very clean cut. But if you're consistent with mowing before it gets too tall then electric is the way to go.

I have 3 batteries and 2 chargers. If it's only been a week between cuts then 3 batteries usually covers mowing, weedeating, and leaf blowing. If the grass is long/wet then I'll go through a couple extra charge cycles but they charge fast enough that I don't have to sit around waiting on the next battery to be ready.

Don't know why I'd ever go back to a gas engine.

21" power select XP cut self propelled

Returning to Lowe's tomorrow. This thing sucks. It leaves a ton of un-mowed blades, regardless of how slow you mow and how much you overlap each row. It effectively has about a 9" cutting deck. It may work well for folks with Bermuda or some other fine grass, but on long, thick St. Augustine, it can't get it done.

I loved how quiet and light the mower was though.

Back to gas!

Dang. Sorry to hear that!

If you want golf course green grass get an earthwise 7 blade reel mower

I can't say I have the same experience with my Ego mower. Mine plows right through thick St. Augustine with no problem. Maybe something wrong with your specific unit?

Are you trying to mulch with it?
