If you buy this mower .. make sure you use bag .. if you use mulch mode it will bog down badly with anything over 4"-5"of grass.. thats why i mention using bag in this vid . That being said if you maintain your lawn regularly and only taking a 2" off .. you should be ok mulching . .. In final as far as budget mowers both the Hart and Ryobi blow this mower away .

@@toolboss8410 where I live the Ryobi is currently 350, the hart is 328, and the Skil is 250. All newest model push, 40v 20 inch. Seems like the big advantage of the Ryobi/Hart is that they have a side chute. The big advantage of the Skil, besides price, is that it's backed by the company that makes Ego. I don't know if that side chute is worth $78-100.

Idk why Skil didn't add an option to add a rear chute the way the Egos do. Maybe they did it so there wouldn't be as much overlap with the Egos, or to save costs. Maybe the next model will have a side chute. I've heard that the ego rear side chute attachment doesn't work that great, though.

I was indifferent about buying a battery operated mower because, like most of us, we are so accustom to gas mowers. But I bit the bullet, I got the most basic skil mower and there were a few things I loved about it immediately. 1) It comes already assembled. 2) It is soooo light. Super easy to move around. Kind of felt like I was vacuuming my yard lol. 3) Bags perfectly. 4) My grass was about 6-7 inches and the mower handled it well! (Our mowers ghosted me after 4 years) and my grass was almost 3 weeks high. So I had to buy something quick. Im on about .5 acres. I do believe I will need a second battery. Totally worth since i'll be saving a couple hundred a month. So Ill just get the second battery and Ill be set. I highly recommend getting a second battery to alternate between the two (just in case). Also, don't mow on the lowest one. I would always stay above 1-2 notches above the lowest setting. I think it stresses the mower & the battery. Be safe and mow on a higher setting.
@UPdan Жыл бұрын
Depending on what you are mowing, I use the lowest, even on bumpy ground. The only thing that stops the mower has been tall, wet grass. I love this mower.
