As one of the fussiest women in the world I've waited 10 days to review this mower, to give it a few 'testdrives'. It arrived within 24 hrs of ordering! While charging the battery I set about unpacking and putting the mower together. The instructions are minimal - mostly diagrammatic - but that was ok as it was fairly obvious. The most challenging bits were clicking the 2 halves of the grass collection box together, then assembling the bolts to attach the handles - just a bit fiddly. Battery needs 90 mins for a full charge. What surprised me was the ease of movement; it's lightweight and these ergonomic handles do help. The noise is very quiet - just a low hum. Not convinced about these "grass combs" It doesn't get into the edges quite as accurately as my old corded Qualcast or cut quite as low. HOWEVER it has made cutting the lawn almost enjoyable! The most AMAZING thing for me is the drastic reduction in time, energy and effort. As someone with M.E. it became impossible in the last few years and I've paid a small fortune for mowing. Fortunately one of the 'gardeners' broke the lid of my old mower (and left it without telling me). He's actually done me an enormous favour! This new machine is absolutely great and the charging capacity even seems to have increased with a few uses. It has just tackled both rear lawn (approx 20 x 15 ft) and front lawn (approx 12 x 10 ft)on the same charge - with 2 green lights (80%) still left on the battery! This mower made a valiant attempt on my mum's huge meadow-like lawn (approx 60 x 20 ft with 6" long grass). It completed half, needed 90 mins recharge, then the other half. On hers, the grass box needed emptying every few strips and because of the light weight, the mower needed extra pushing over the springy terrain so was quite hard work - but I couldn't otherwise have dreamed of tackling it over the last few years. For my own 'normal' lawns it's a doddle and I'm in love with this mower. NEVER before have I finished mowing then looked at my neighbour's grass and thought "ooh I could just run over his too before putting this away!" Go on treat yourself and set yourself free from cords!
