Know before you buy
The mower features two battery slots that allow you to load two batteries at once. When the first battery is depleted, the system automatically switches to the second one, allowing for a total runtime of up to 65 minutes without needing to manually swap batteries mid-mow.
Yes, the self-propelled drive system is designed to assist with movement, making it significantly easier to navigate inclines compared to a standard push mower. The motor provides consistent power to help maintain a steady pace on uneven ground.
This mower is virtually maintenance-free. Because it uses an electric motor rather than a gas engine, you do not need to worry about oil changes, spark plug replacements, air filters, or fuel stabilization.
The mower is designed for compact storage with quick-fold handles and a vertical storage capability. You can fold the handle down and stand the mower upright on its rear wheels to minimize its footprint when not in use.
Yes, the mower offers versatile cutting options, including mulching and bagging. You can easily switch between these modes depending on whether you want to return nutrients to your lawn or collect the clippings for disposal.
The integrated LED lights are designed to provide visibility in low-light conditions, such as early mornings or late evenings. While they are helpful for seeing your path, they are primarily intended to improve safety and awareness rather than acting as high-intensity floodlights.
