Thanks I'm goin to get one tomorrow, I have the skil an it's no good for my yard.

You are so right. I feel the same way. For some reason I actually enjoy mowing with this. Never would’ve thought I would feel this way. I think it’s because it’s so lightweight and quiet. I feel like I’m getting good exercise pushing it but not disrupting the neighborhood.

What's crazy is that it's so smooth and quiet you think you have no real power. But I have mowed my yard 4 times with it so far and it's performing just great. I think you'll like it alot. I take the battery to work to charge it. I'm hoping to make it through the whole summer and no pay one cent for any of the energy it takes to mow my grass (except for the energy it takes for my body to move around!). Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

@@tonyleeglenn Well, the maiden voyage today was very successful! My yard is a bit of a beast, hills, big rocks, bushes at about a quarter acre. I was able to do my entire side yard, 3/4 of my back yard and still had one light on! And I know what you mean about the smoothness and unexpected power. I love it so much and love even more that I'll be getting some good exercise in pushing it around. With gas prices the way they are, going battery-powered is a no-brainer. Keep up your plan @charging at work, heck yeah, save where you can! Thanks for your reply and have a great weekend!

Sure glad to hear that Bill. I'm on my second season with this mower and still going very strong. Will be cutting the grass with it tonight.

It's so light-weight I don't mind so much pushing it around. It's super-quiet too - like stealth mowing. Thanks for watching and commenting.

How is the mower?

@@1007usmc it’s absolutely amazing. The power is there when it’s needed, the cut is spot on, and the battery seems to last forever. I love this thing.

It makes me actually enjoy mowing. I NEVER thought I'd write those words.

@@tonyleeglenn lol I'm going to pick it up today!

They are $249 right now. Just snagged one for pickup today at Lowe's.

@@tylerbonezjonez Yeah i got one too when i first wrote this comment. I love it

I hate their weed eater. It has the motor down on the head, and after a while that weight starts to pull on my back. I bought a Hart trimmer from Walmart, they are made by Ryobi, and the motor is up by the battery and it makes such a difference in comfort.

Hey Robert. The light weight aspect and the quietness are what I like - but the best is no oil or gas. You just fold it up and stand it up against the wall. It would be no problem to throw in a truck - about 50 pounds. The battery is guaranteed for 3 years, but I have Kobalt blower that we bought about 5 years ago and the battery is still killing it. I'm hopeful this one will last - also, I take the battery to work to charge it. That's how freakin' cheap I am!

@@tonyleeglenn I have the DeWalt 9.5v drill that's over 25 years old and still going so I don't think you have anything to worry about. I'm looking at the Skil 40v mover as I have other Skil 40 and 12v products and they are great.

Buy the same brand of the weed whipper and Blower and you will have three batteries. I work for Lowes and always recommend this. I used mine today for the first time and loved it. My yard must be 3 times smaller then yours because I only used 1/3 of a charge to do my place. I have a different brand (Ego) weed whipper and blower, so I’m glad I only need one battery for my Kobalt mower to cut the whole place.

Maybe 1/5 as loud

I get about 45 minutes of mowing time from each charge.

Sure was. You do have to charge the battery of course.

I have a great one, but it won't fit up under all the trees.

They are about $179 from Lowes. The 4ah ones work too - pretty well actually.

or wait towards end of the year or early january when lowes clearance all kobalt 40v

@@tonyleeglenn thank you so much! I’m def trying this

The battery for my cobalt blower is four years old and still working just great. I bought one of their string trimmers and got the four amp hour battery that works fine for my mower. It was basically like buying a battery and getting a string trimmer for free. I’m not too worried about it.

Just for you! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a8WCaKyS1K7Pp2Q.html

I was having trouble starting mine...you have to have the handle fully extended before it will start.

Wow - You're right. I had to go back and check to see if you were looking at the self-propelled version. Hope my review hasn't made them up the price - good grief!

@@tonyleeglenn And the batteries are out of sight too. I have three 2 AH batteries, still working but probably not strong enough for the mower. These prices are the killer.

@@spacecoastz4026 I bought the Kobalt string trimmer which came with a 4ah battery. I use the battery as backup for the mower. Works great. Might as well get a good string trimmer along with the battery purchase. Between the two, I'm well covered for powering over my mowing sessions. I just have a little over an acre though.

It must take at least 4 full charged batteries to mow and string trim an acre.

True about the power thing. That's not the reason I favor the battery powered option though. It has plenty of power to keep up my 1-acre yard - and I'm going on three years buying zero gas for mowing. In fact, I charge the battery at my office at work. I don't even pay for the electricity for charging the battery. That's a sweet deal for a cheapo like me!!
