how big is your lot?

The 7.5 runs about an hour using self propelled. I have put 5ah batteries in and it cuts my entire front now with enough juice to blow things off. Its not a small lot but not huge, a typical Broadmoor lot.

You don't need self propelled all the time either, the mower is really light. The best part is my wife will cut the grass a lot of times if I have to work on a Saturday I'll come home and not have to worry about it. She would NEVER with my old Honda.

My chargers are older but the newest fast chargers can recharge your battery in an hour, if not full enough to finish what you need to do.

I have an older select cut, the one piece carbon shaft trimmer, the 650cfm blower, the multi tool power head, edger, pole chain saw and pole hedge trimmer with only 3 batteries and I have never been able to out use the batteries even if my wife was mowing and I was edging and blowing.

1. plastic deck. did you see the reviewer under the Select Cut who said a small rock was picked up and shot a hole through it?

Greenworks has steel deck
Cheaper, too
Don't be afraid of push models with electric mowers. Save money and pay less. No engine makes them much lighter. Pushing is a breeze.

ave the self propelled version but never use that feature

I can't imagine paying the premium for the self-propelled in my personal situation. My yard is pretty large for a subdivision, just oddly shaped since we are on "corner" lot in a big sweeping curve. Just not enough long straight areas. It'd be useful for about 20' at a time. They are extremely light. And with a 5ah battery, I still have 50% battery life after mowing my entire yard.

Front and back put between 15 and 20k steps on my wrist Fitbit and my yard is sloped


The frick I'm not taking advantage of the self propelled feature
