    Hi Garage Gear I purchased the 22' PowerSmart lawn mower and found it very difficult to use because of the way the Self Propelled function is wired. When using both the mowing and drive (self propelled) functions the only way to turn the self propelled off is to release the mowing lever which turns off the mower. My yard is small 100' by 60' with a lot of starts and stops. The mower was awkward to use because every time I had to turn I had to shut the mower off to turn off the self propelled. The Mowing and Drive lever should operate independently so the mowing function continues to work when the self propelled feature is turned off. Thanks for the review.

      I just unboxed my 26” and may about four passes and headed for the box and the packing tape to return. Like everything about it, but Mr. Ernest is spot on. If I were mowing a football field, no prob, but yard and lots of challenges and this “feature” is a deal breaker. Great review though!

    Looks pretty cheaply made JB. Assembly was quick and easy though. Not sure how heavy it is but I think it might bounce around a bit when in use.

    Hey JB. I used to work for a battery manufacturer. We would occasionally do destructive testing to see how they would react to certain things. We one had one about 4x the size of that deliberately catch fire, but over a 55 gallon drum of water. Once it caught (but didn’t actually explode) we pulled the board out and it fell into the water. It burned for 45 minutes. Underwater.

    Cobalt is used in all these batteries and also electric cars. You should be concerned that most of the cobalt is mined in China and also the DRC where they force over 40,000 children to work on the mines! It also destroys the land and consumes power to process. But hey, as long as the consumer feels good about their electric power…

    Mathematically the more lithium ion battery equipment sold the more fires there will be. Likely the worst fire you would ever experience since these batteries do not need oxygen to burn, they basically feed themselves and are the hardest fire to extinguish. As seen in a riding mower fire video they actually buried the entire mower underground to put out the fire and water does not work. My prediction for California is: you thought you had issues with wild fires wait until your ban on fuel operated equipment and vehicles comes into effect, not only will more homes be burning down the highways and recharging facilities will be on fire too! Time to release the hydrogen engine eh? At least this mower has a significant lower decibel rating than the fuel operated Powersmart mowers which is the loudest we have heard. As a matter of fact we had a B&S Quantum running next to a Powersmart (both fuel operated) and did not know the B&S was running until we shut off the Powersmart. Just by ear i think it was 10x louder. The other issue we have with the battery operated mowers is the blade adaptors appear to be all plastic and when you hit something how available is the replacement part?
