I just got mine and so far it’s so much better than my old self propel from about 10 years ago. Even though it’s push it’s so much easier to maneuver. Also not having to deal with gas and oil is FANTASTIC!

I bought this mower two years ago on a whim thinking that it was probably going to be a waste of $300 and I was probably gonna end up taking it back to Lowe’s, well I was wrong about that & this is without a doubt the best push mower I’ve ever used👍👍

Just bought one yesterday at Lowe’s yesterday! Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the concise review, sir. You hit all of the key points without lengthening the video with unnecessary information. Much appreciated.

I find this video interesting. I have many mowers and enjoy watching companies deployment of their version of what we need. It’s great.👍

Just bought it and it’s a great mower! Great review as well!

Bought my Skil mower beginning of May. Fantastic mower priced well below the other brand electric mowers including it's corporate cousin the Ego. Battery life is excellent. After five months still can do my whole lawn on a single charge (100x 150 ft). Highly recommended. Also bought the electric Skil chain saw that uses the same battery that works great as well.

This is a good review on the Skil mower and I just picked one up today with a second battery and will be testing it tomorrow. The only thing I saw in the video that seemed off was when you were talking about the handle being adjustable in height as well as the angle. I think I read on the mower's instructions somewhere that the only way the mower will start is if the handle is in the fully extended position as a safety switch.

I'm really impressed with the trimmer and blower combo.

This video was everything I needed it to be. All of my questions were answered. I’m going this weekend to buy. My husband is going into assisted care in a few weeks and I think I can manage with this just fine. Thank you!

My 10 month review. I love this mower. I have to admit i havent treated it right, ive hit rocks and large sticks and she keeps holding up good. I have a big back and front yard and i can do both with one charge and still have some left

Love mine. Great battery life. I hope Skil keeps this mower simple. Thats what I like about it.

I just bought one. Haven't mowed since HS.😗 ..that was 1983. Wish me luck. Got one at Lowe's....$249! Perfect for my American Neighborhood.

This winter I was thrilled to find out Skil made a snowblower! Bought at Lowe's for $299 on sale. Works great! Never gonna buy an EV truck or SUV, but I'm sold on Skil products!!!!!!!!

Thanks for doing this review. You did a great job. 👍

I just bought a mobile home on a 1/6 of an acre last yr, and my John Deere riding mower was no longer needed. My Hyper Tough push mower just quit, so I decided to ditch gas as I already own the Skil 40v trimmer and blower. Can't wait to try this mower!

This Skil is very much like my Craftsman V60 mower....and it's a beast.. love it.... It's self propelled and was still under $400 w/ 7.5ah battery.... I don't feel I could have gone wrong with either... Thanks TJ...🏁

Just bought it. Can't wait to use it

My Skil 40v push mower came this morning. These are nice.

I just bought it at Lowes! Thanks for the video.

Lowes has them on sale right now for $249. Just bought mine with military discount saving another $25. NO MORE CARBURETOR PROBLEMS!! I just hope it lasts.

Thanks for the info.i am a 60year old women and I can not pull the gas mowers so this was an excellent choice for me. I just wanted to get another option. I have a half acre and it is doing well for me

Awesome review. I'm buying one tommorow.

Excellent video answered all my questions thank you

I just bought this today from Lowe's and I'm impressed with the weight of it, considering I'm disabled. I'm looking forward to using it tomorrow, because the box advertising 15 minute charge but that was not the case straight out of the box. I had to charge it for about an hour and 15 minutes to get the 4 bars, so hopefully after this it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. You did an excellent job explaining all the ins and out of this compact lawn mower. I wasn't aware how easy it would be to adjust the height with just one hand, definitely a bonus. Take care and God bless.

This was super-informative. Thanks

I got a deal on the self propelled one for $255 on Amazon… loved it

I will definitely buy this brand. Thank yoy

You are amazing. You explain it great!!

The kobalt 5a 40v for $300 is really awesome 🤘

I think battery choices matter a lot for these smaller mowers. I just bought the small Craftsman that uses two v20 batteries because I have a ton of those tools/batteries. This Skill mower looks good, but I just didn't want to have another tool that used another type of battery. I figured for me, it was either get the thing that uses the same battery platform, or go all in something like the EGO line where I could get all of the tools that are complete overkill for my yard.

This mower is a beast and does far more then the expensive Ryobi. Ryobi batteries are $250+ these batteries are worth the cost at $150

I own one love it

Mis information here. The handle MUST be fully extended and locked for the motor to turn on.

Great review! Does this more have a great height adjustment?

I guess I got the crappy one. Bought it for a rental home and renter complained it wouldn't charge, so we got him a cheap, used gas mower while the skil mower sat unused for over a year in the shed. Brought it home eventually and it charged right up and it worked great. Twice. Apparently, the battery management system is screwed up since it would not charge, then it would after I cleaned the contacts until I put it into the mower at which point the indicator of the "fully charged" battery turned all red and no workey. Now the battery still shows red while the charger says full. Should have pursued a warrantee claim but that ship is long gone. It just reinforced my instinctive distrust of cordless equipment.

That’s nice lawnmower I hope I can get one

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Purchased mower. Took it out of box and looked at directions and thought “This 77 year old lady will never figure this out!!!”. Put down directions, found your video and Voila. Ready to roll. Your explanation is so easy and simple to understand.👍👍👍👍👍👍

I got a refurbished ryobi 20” with a 6ah battery for $172. Threw in another 4ah for $120 and was out the door for $300 and change. It’s ok. It does my 9000 sq ft yard plus the little cul de sak using both batteries. It does bog down when grass is tall. It doesn’t suck up leaves like a gas mower. And the ryobi handle connection to the mower body sucks. Maybe this still would be better if it was $300 and included two batteries. As these batteries age they will get weaker. So you’ll want two of them.

I’m sold getting one real soon did you also reviewed the weed eater and blower?

Is there a way to regulate speed? Sometimes it goes into afterburner mode for some reason and I can reset that only by letting go of the hand and starting it up again

How do you get the mower to stay on and adjust the handle to be used at the shorter length? It only turns on when fully extended and it turns off when I adjust the height down. Thanks in advance.

Do they offer a larger battery or one more appropriate for a larger yard?

Can you get replacement parts for these, or do you have to buy a whole new one when they break..?

I just bought one today. I charged the battery and did everything to start it. But it didn't do anything. I don't understand why?

Just be aware that if you plan on getting a second battery they are $90 to $100 while others brands batteries are $50 or $60. I wish I would have known that before buying. I love this mower and it would be perfect with a second battery so one could charge while I continue to cut with the other. I don't know if I will get another battery or just break my mowing into but that might have had me switching brands.

I wanted one but then I learned a new review that it is only a bagger and rear discharge. No mulching?

I’m partially disabled. So mower weight is a huge issue. You say it less than 40lbs (which is my limit). But everywhere else, specs and reviews say it’s 50-60lb. The Ryobi I saw at HD was 40lb. I’d rather get the Skil, but I need to know it’s true weight. Can you help there?

What if you wanted to clean it? Is it water resistant? Can you spray the blade area down or is water something to be careful of with this?

Just bought one from. Lowes. Charged the battery for almost a hour until the battery had all green lights. I added the grass catcher and was ready to mow but it wouldn't start 😢

I still think it looks like the Pontiac Fiero. lol

The mower looks great, especially for the price! Skip the Ego. There's so many other great choices out there!

I going to get me one

Just starting my 3rd summer with this mower. Yesterday when I started mowing the yard, it shuts off 10- 60 seconds into mowing. Starts right back up and then dies. Can't be the battery because the self-propelled works perfect even when the blade stops. Normal grass, charged battery. Not happy.

How long does it take to charge the battery?

To all of you who have purchased this: What can you tell me the cut quality of the blade in mulching mode? Are the clippings large, small, or not noticeable? I cannot find any reviews which address this specific topic. I was wondering because the only time I bag is to pick up leaves.

Bought one today at Lowe’s for less than $275 including tax.

Can i Use my Skil batteries from drills on this? I understand that they are not as capacious, but will they fit and run?

How is the battery life??

My 40V Skil Power40 5AH battery for this mower is dead. A new one is $168. I have a good Lowe's Kobalt 40V 6AH battery with of course a different pinout. If I knew the pinouts of the batteries and the Skil mower, I could run jumper wires to connect. Anyone have the necessary pinout info on the batteries and the mower so I can run the jumper wires?

Does it come with the bagger?

Think something is wrong with Mines cuz I just got it and charged the power but the unit won't power on so now gotta take it back after wasting my damn time preparing to cut my grass😒😒

Is this mower hard to put together?

anyone that has this know of a way to keep it from shutting off if you go over a high patch of grass?

This or the push from Hart?

It's real nice and all... But if I'm gonna spend decent money on a battery mower now-a-days (or ANY mower for that matter), I'm getting one with self propelled feature. No question about it. Even if it's $100 more ... I'm tossing out the extra money for self propelled. That's just me... But it just doesn't make sense to me to invest in a new piece of equipment without self propelled feature. Even if I saved a few bucks, it wouldn't be worth saving the money to me. 🤟🏽👍🏼💯

I’ve had mine for 2 months and every time I try to mow it stalls out , no videos on here about troubleshooting what the hell??

I wonder how it does on a lush thick lawn compared to ummmm.... well.... that thing. lol

It would have been a better review if you had actually showed the mower mowing the grass.

Yeah probably not built for SA or most warm season grass.

Why do you say an ego is a step up from the skil?

This thing kept cutting off on my Bermuda grass took it back for a ego. Totally weak mower

its trash😂 4th time using it and it keeps shuttin off i cleaned it fully charged the batt n still shuts off as i cut grass

The red color is ugly, like Fire Department. Make grey or dark green and black. Thanks.

Useless in Floritam Florida grass.

Too much unnecessary information intended to sell the mower when the only real question is how well it cuts in thick tall grass (not demonstrated) and it won't cut heavy tall grass, you need a much larger volt size than 40 volts for that.

For me it started out with an ad for a Ryobi electric mower! My first mower was a Craftsman, it worked great, but lasted 3 years. It wasn't cheap. It was replaced with Toro that lasted 20 years, still works, but has issues, lost self-propelled, worked on it and now is one wheel drive. It was replaced with another Toro. What does a new battery cost and how many years will it last? Every power tool I've had when the battery went bad, it was always cheaper to buy a whole new kit.

junk! wont cut 4" grass without stalling. battery wont last 1/4 acre. avoid!

This thing is complete trash. The motor has no ball to cut through a weeks worth of grass growth here in FL

Trash product. Stopped working after a year. Customer service was trash as well as every time I called, I got a different response. They are however sending another mower. Will sell it on Facebook marketplace. Going back to gas where I know how to troubleshoot any issues.
