I recently posted regarding that the Southern California Air Quality Management District (AQMD) was having another trade-in program for gas powered mowers to get heavily discounted electric mowers. You could choose between the two sizes available from Neuton, or a Black & Decker model as well.
I got the Neuton 5.3 for only $100!!! I am now fully electric for my garden power tools... WOOT!!! My kids think it's really cool - actually the wife as well. Even neighbors have come by to check it out.
Once I got past the 72 hour initial charge (i thought that was kinda long also), I took it for a spin on the lawn... well, actually - i waited nearly 3 weeks after the charge to mow for a couple reasons - like I was busy.
Anyway - the battery had plenty of power even after sitting a while and it mowed great! The lawn was on the long side so I had my concerns, but it did it all easily and did not feel like the charge was running out at all. Quite quiet as well - sounds like a fan.
I was impressed.
