What are the average battery life specs, preferably real world, of a mower like this? I have a moderately sized lawn, and it'd be interesting to have an idea of TCO vs. a fairly quiet, relatively high efficiency/lower emission gas mower.

I have a half-acre lot, and can mow it on one charge, without having to rush. The battery re-charges quickly, and the mower is no louder than an oscillating fan. I have had it for a little over a year and will never go back to gas-powered mowers. Good buy!

I have the 25312 19 inch mower with two 4ah batteries. Each battery will last me about a half-hour of mowing or more. For me that is enough to mow my grass with only one battery. I would think that if the grass is very high and thick it might not last as long as it seems to give more power when needed.

I was wondering if anyone has had this mower for over two years.. and how's it doing? I really want to buy this- but the price is steep for my budget, and I can't seem to find a retailer that offers an extended warranty for purchase. I am just afraid of buying it and it crapping out on me after just over two years. Anyone have any thoughts please?

If you haven't already done so, do check out a couple of the most recent product reviews of this Worx cordless mower. Amazon is apparently STILL shipping out an older version of this model, thus the 12,000/sq.ft which you(and I)received versus the 17,500/sq.ft that is improperly being listed for sale. Even with being able to buy an additional battery, that is QUITE a difference in range and should be corrected. Instead of returning an otherwise functioning unit, I took a discount so I am cautiously optimistic with the mower provided I don't run into some of the problems(such as the charger) that other users have noted. I do remain weary in having to deal with Worx's own customer service though. They have chosen to not respond to requests for additional/replacement parts(namely the charger). It's unfortunate than a negative customer service experience could possibly outweigh the positives of going cordless with this Worx. Good luck.

I like my Worx but I have a small yard to mow. I've never tried to stand it on end. I haven't heard too many good things about Black & Decker especially the batteries. That was one of the reasons I went with the Worx as it charges quickly and is easy to handle. If you don't like it you can always return it.

It depends on the size of your yard. Mine is very small, so I'm able to cut my grass 3 times on a charge. If you treat the battery correctly [by following the instructions on use and charging] it should last you a very long time. The battery for my string trimmer has lasted 6 years! When you buy the mower, you get two batteries, which is really nice. It is true that the batteries are rather expensive to replace, but far cheaper than all the gas and oil needed to run a gas mower, in my very humble opinion! :-) I also recycle all my batteries to stay "green". Hope this helps

Mine worked 3 months last year. I went to start it this year in May and the battery is shot. I finally got in touch with WORX and paid $28.00 shipment for a replacement battery and charger. The charger here and I'm still waiting for the replacement battery.I'm paying $30.00 a week to have my lawn cut weekly and have a $350.00 lawn mower that don't work with a new charger. I would find another brand of electric lawnmower if I were you. Good luck Dave

i am in my 3rd season of ownership of the mower and battery, and both are still going strong - but i do have a major word of caution. The manual says to keep the battery charging when not in use and during the off-season and they damn well mean it! i had bought a spare battery 3 yrs ago also and was nonchalant in the off season and left it unplugged ; the next spring i went to use it and it was utterly dead and would not take or keep a charge. keep it in the charger at all times and you should be good for several years

Sorry Donald S., I have know idea what a 2 cycle engine is. It seems to work pretty good though. One of my guy friends fixed the wheel for me so that turned out good. I have about a half acre to mow and it plows right through the grass with no problem. It seems to be pretty good on gas too. If it weren't self propelled though, I would never be able to finish the lawn. The key starter works like a charm too. Sorry I can't help you more.

In case the question dealt with cycle life, it seems to be an hour or so, depending on grass density. For my small lawn, that's a couple mowings per charge, with a bit to spare.

I've had mine for just about a year... I'm noticing just a bit of drain on the battery life. I'd say it's a strong 10-15 minutes. That's about all you should expect out of 6V. At less than half the price of a 12V I still recommend it. If they had one with a crevice attachment and at this price I'd buy stock.

I no longer have my mower, but I did not have a problem with the battery. I tried not to have it charging longer than 24 hrs, but often forgot about it. I had other problems.

I am looking into buying this model as well and am interested in the answer to Erin Leddy's question - can you take out the battery and charge it outside of the mower? I will be storing the mower in a shed with no power, so this is a key consideration for me. Thanks!

I wouldn't buy this. The battery life is short and a replacement is expensive. I've gone back to gas mowers.

I bought a second battery because my first only holds a charge for about 45 minutes to an hour, which isn't long enough for me to cut my front and back lawn. The new one lasts longer, but I do need to alternate between the two to get the lawn fully cut. Thick long grass also uses up the battery faster. My lawn is 3/4 of an acre so if you have a smaller lawn one battery might be all you need.

I don't really know (I'm a woman!). I do love the mower and it has not seemed to run up the electric bill. Batteries do run down, they are heavy and a pain to replace when you need to move that day and it won't start. I have a medium size yard and sometimes mow the front and back on different days but love the mower, haven't cut the cord once!

I have B&D cordless mower for 7 years. I am happy with it. The battery life could be short. 2 years is what they expect. My first battery last about 2 years. Then, it died. It was changed in service station for a new one. This one has lasted 4 years (5 seasons). But, the running time gets shorter and shorter, then the time is stable and is about 1/2 of the original running time. But, that is good enough for me since I mow front and rear separately. The problem is: now one front wheel got lost. Seems no way to repair. It still mows though. I am thinking to replace it. It might be M&D. However, I am thinking about Neuton Mower. It seems better but more expensive.
