This review is from: Recharge Mower PMLI-14 15-Inch 36 Volt Lithium Ion Cordless Electric Ultralite Lawn Mower (Lawn & Patio)
I am a huge fan and buyer of Amazon products and this mower was offered at $50 lower than Sears or Recharge Mower's own website. Mower is lightweight, portable and features the lithium battery--a big improvement over the original generation of battery operated lawn gear. Strong cutting power even in 4" wet grass, although lawn was sparse, not lush and thick. However, this mower arrived in a wet, damaged box and th left handle housing damaged/defective. I can mow handicapped without it, but why am I spending over $400 for a defective item? Interesting that another reviewer noted the SAME problem with SAME part. Did Amazon buy up these defective mowers & offer them at $50 less than the manufacturer's website?? Makes me wonder. Unable to locate parts anywhere other than cutting blades which leaves me with the option to return this and risk receiving another defective unit or just purchase another brand. Black Decker and Ryobi have readily available parts but they are heavier than...Read more

I bought this when the price was only $411 (he-he!), and only after the company answered all my questions. The company representative was very helpful, and responded quickly to my questions even on the weekend.
The lawnmower arrived from Amazon quickly and in perfect condition, but the weather was so miserable that I was unable to use the mower for a few weeks. However, once the weather improved, I started the mower up and mowed a lawn section of 100x80, and the battery only went down one charge light. I could have easily done the whole third acre on one charge. The grass was somewhat long and wet, but the mower effortlessly mowed it down. Later, I used the mower to grind up the magnolia leaves I raked from the pachysandra beds. This it did easily and without complaint.
The mower is quite light, does a very nice job at mowing, and the battery charges quickly and lasts longer than I expected. Also, I like the way it looks- kind of reminiscent of a hornet or wasp...Read more

Mower gas vs. battery electric,

The mower is a great buy considering it has a lithium ion battery. I bought mine about a week ago and then the price increased for some reason shortly there after. I think it might have to do with supply and demand, and this is the only lithium ion battery powered mower sold in the US. Used it once so far for 10 mins to see how well it works. It works good, but don't get your hopes up if you think it will have the power of a gas mower. Unit is super quiet and cuts grass! However, I would not let the grass get to tall or one may have problems cutting it with this mower. I almost killed two snakes with my mower on accident on its first use, but glad this did not happen. Still haven't tried the bag yet since I would rather mulch. I am going to use this unit for a while before I decide on the battery powered electric trimmer/edger from the same company. Hope amazon sells this product in the future.
