The battery lives up to the claims, and it recharges quite quickly - about 3 hours from flat to full.

The mower is packed with safety features to avoid any possibility of starting accidentally, so is very safe with children or animals around. Even though deleted reviews don't affect the average rating, the fact that action was taken to delete reviews raises some red flags about the integrity of the reviews for the product as whole. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. So this mower is not very good at cutting right to the edge of the lawn compared to my previous mower.

I have only ever used three heights on any machine and I found the heights on this machine fine for my requirements. Based on our statistical modeling, the discrepancy in average rating between these two groups is significant enough to believe that the difference is not due to random chance, and may indicate that there are unnatural reviews. I am registered blind, so I’m always nervous when doing things like cutting grass because everyone can see the results.

However, for the hardcore data nerds out there (like ourselves), the full report satisfies that craving for precise numbers and hard evidence that the reviews are legit or bogus.

Adjusting the height is easy too, simply use one lever, and set the height to the exact level you need. However I did find that it ran out halfway through doing the front garden, so I bought a second battery and now I never run out of juice! If you’re currently looking for a new lawn mower, you’ll know there are several brands and even more products from which to choose. With a single height adjustment lever rather than four, you can adjust the cutting height, making it perfect for cutting grass that’s short or long. We have designed our quick charging X2 Series battery to work with the whole Aerotek X2 Series Garden Power Range.

The battery lasts long enough to deal with my garden which is about 25 yards by 5 yards with some power to spare.

You can even use the mower with the mulching attachment to really nourish your lawn, with super fine nutrient rich cuttings. However the rear wheels have a wider axle and tend to fall off the lawn edge causing scalping of the lawn.
