Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of options and even fewer reviews so was hard to decide! Ultimately went with the neuton and have been very happy. It is extremely light and easy to maneuver and turn which is great b/c we have a couple of hills and narrow spaces on our lawn. I was worried b/c it is more narrow than some mowers (maybe 14"?) but that hasn't been a problem at all; in fact, it makes many parts of the yard easier to mow. Charges quickly and we haven't had any battery problems. Never ran out of charge on our small lawn (takes about 45"). It is quiet (not noiseless, but I can cut early in the morning without waking the neighbors) and cuts well. I'm thrilled not to have a cord, and it is easy to start and stop. Haven't used the mulcher or any other fancy accessories (the local sales guy said not to bother with buying those).
I would buy this again without hesitation and would recommend to others.

At this point it has performed very well and has lived up to all my expectations. I have a relatively small lawn that covers about 30% of my 1/2 acre lot and I didn't want to deal with the mess and noise of a gas mower. My main concern with the Neuton was if it would hold the charge long enough to finish my lawn... as I said it is relatively small but is spread out on all 4 sides of the house so mowing the whole thing takes a fair amount of time. So far I've noticed no lessening of power even as I get to around 45 min of mowing.
Highlights: - Easy to set up, only took about 20 min - No gas or oil to worry about - Battery is easy to use, just keep it plugged in when not in use. How hard is that? - Quiet... I heard my phone ringing while I was mowing. I sure wish all my neighbors had one of these... - Easy to store, fits in my shed standing on its nose - Simple to use...Read more 95 of 104 people found the following review helpful: By John Gasaway "John Gasaway" (Novi, MI USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Neuton Battery Electric Lawn Mower (Lawn & Patio) Neuton Electric Mower
For those with no time to read this in its entirety, the bottom line is this: not ready for prime time. However, given that conclusion, I'm not sure that I will be taking advantage of the six month return policy. The Neuton would definitely never satisfy my neighbor who wants to have a putting green lawn, but then, I'm not nearly as concerned as he. All I want is something relatively green. If you have a small level lot and don't want it to look like a putting green, the Neuton is probably for you. This review is based on using the Neuton from June until September. Pros: 1. Extremely quiet. I don't have to wear ear plugs anymore. You don't know the lawn is getting mowed unless you see the person pushing the mower. 2. Not a point source of pollution. Some power plant somewhere is generating a little more pollution to recharge the battery. Hopefully, more renewable energy sources will be coming on-line. 3. Easier to maneuver...Read more |
