Bad points

Bad Points

  • Fairly heavy by battery mower standards. It's also very front heavy and some may find turning not particularly easy.
  • Slightly downturned handle with soft rubber grip. Some may find it too low. The switches don't blend in well with the handle bar and can pinch the palm of the hand.
  • Only OK cutting height adjustment.
