Bully 16-Inch Cordless Electric Lawn Mower 2020

Comment: We've had this mower for about 3 years. It stalls if the grass is a bit too long, or if it is at all wet. It generally holds a charge okay, but we can't mow both our front and back lawn on one charge. The bolts that hold the handle together have broken and now the handle is not rigid enough to push the mower comfortably. Guess we'll have to replace them all and see what happens. In general, it is not great quality and is pretty gutless.

Comment: My yard was approximately 15x30 and this was an ideal mower to take care of the weekly mow. The only downfall I have to this item is the need to mow weekly, as high grass and this mower do not get along so well. Do not expect to mow a 1/2 acre with this mower without having some regrets. Works great for small city lots.

Comment: After 2 months of moderate use, the battery is dead. I have been in touch with Bully about a replacement and still haven't received one after nearly two weeks. All they will say is that it is on a list and will ship from IL. I've asked about three times when, but can't seem to get them to answer or even acknlowedge the question.

I had high hopes for this mower and really liked it for the first couple of months. However, after reading other similar stories on this site I would not recommend buying this product or anything else from this company. Amazon should remove this item from the site as it is obviously not reliable and the company doesn't seem to have much interest in addressing the issues with their product.

Comment: nice and light but just bogs down with the slightest resistance. Haven't noticed that the battery has improved after many uses, in fact seems to be holding its charge for shorter and shorter. My lawn isn't huge or particularly thick. Kind of bummed that i have to by a back up battery just to finish one small section of grass. In my opinion, they need to look at some different battery types (ie: lithium ion) and perhaps boost the voltage as well. I would happily try some kind of retrofit if and when they offer it, but I think I will be in the market for a more powerful mower and chalk this up to a losing bet...

Comment: I bought the Bully in Dec 06 but didn't start using it until April. When it first arrived I was very impressed with the weight and ease of having it up and running within minutes. I even followed the directions and let it charge for weeks before even being used. I was showing it to all my friends and was even turning it on in the garage with the door SHUT just to show them how quiet it really was. I was initially impressed. Then I started using it. It was still good at first. Like most reviewers, the hubcaps fell off on the first pass through my small yard. Oh well, no big deal. It mowed well and handled everything I needed it to do. The first 4-5 times it ran for over 45min and never lost its charge or power. Now, all of a sudden, on my 6th mowing...it worked for about 10min and just quit. This was me trying to save the planet, one mower at a time, but alas, I will be going back to gas. It is a great idea, but probably just needs a few more years to really work out all the kinks. I will be contacting OMG tomorrow to see if they will offer a refund. I would not recommend this product.

Update 8/4/07...spoke to OMG on 7/12/07 and they refused to give me a refund. Said they would ship me a new battery free of charge. I have still not received it. Will be calling them again on Mon. My current battery still only lasts about 10min per full charge. Takes me 3 days to mow my yard, 10min at a time. Also my grass is getting nice and thick with all the rain we've had this year. Mower bogs down and I have it cutting on the highest level.

Update 8/16/07...still no new battery...will be calling them a third time...I wish I could change my 2 stars to a 1 star...DON'T BUY!!
