That makes sense. i only use non-ethanol as well.
You're talking about a 1.5 acre lot of grass, i assume, when most people are cutting a lot that's 3/4 to 1 acre with a house and other crap on it, so they are actually only cutting maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of an acre of grass. Kind of a big difference there. I mean my lot is .85 acres, had this 46" cub cadet for 9 years, and I just hit 100 hours yesterday when i cut the grass.


The biggest thing to me with these battery powered mowers is the battery warranty. Ryobi is 1 year, EGO 3 years, and GreenWorks 4 years. Why this isn't something GreenWorks is slapping in your face with is just poor marketing. I shouldn't have to download the manual to see specifically what the warranty is when it's clearly better than the rest of the competition, and probably helps quall the biggest reservations must customers have about switching to a battery powered unit outside of cutting power.
