I WOULD NOT SUGGEST USING THIS MACHINE ON WET GRASS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A WELL BUILT MACHINE IT MAKES IT HARDER FOR YOU TO MOW SPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE NOT MOWED FOR A GOOD PERIOD OF TIME. SO GOING BACK TO MY YARD SIZE I MEASURED NE PART (THE BACKYARD 25 X 10 FT) THE SMALL FRONT YARD, 8 FT BY 8 FT THE OTHER PART OF THE FRONT YARD 25FT BY 6 FT AND THE OTHER PART OF THE FRONT YARD 15 FT BY 7 FT. I THOUGHT THAT MY YARD WAS SMALL COMPARED TO MY OLDER SINGLE FAMILY HOME WHICH HAS A HUGE YARD. NOW I LIVE IN A TOWNHOUSE CORNER LOT SO THE YARD IS MUCH BIGGER THAN INSIDE TOWNHOMES.
ALSO FOR TALL GRASS YOU WILL HAVE TO MOVE IT BACK AND FORWARD BECAUSE AS I SAID IT IS TALL AND JUST LIKE A GAS POWERED MOWER THAT YOU HAVE TO MOVE IT SLOW OR IT WILL GET STUCK, THIS ONE CAN OVERHEAT AND YOU CAN DAMAGE YOUR UNIT. I GUESS YOU WILL BASICALLY MAKE THE MOVES LIKE IF YOU ARE VACUUMING A HOUSE, THIS IMPORTANT STEP MAKES YOUR LIFE EASY.
HANDLE IS EASY AND COMPACT ENOUGH FOR YOU TO NOT NEED TO PUSH LIKE THE HEAVIER GAS POWERED ONES. THE ONLY CON IS THAT YOU HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING AND YOU CAN EASILY GET TIRED BUT IT IS NOT A DEAL BREAKER. IT ALSO HAS A AUTO FEED SYSTEM SO LIKE OTHER TRIMMERS YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP FEEDING THE LINE ONCE IT GOES OFF, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY FEED ITSELF BUT ONCE IN A WHILE IT MAY GET STUCK OR THROW TOO MUCH LINE AND YOU HAVE TO STOP AND CORRECT IT. TO CORRECT IT TAKE THE CAP OF THE FEEDER AND MOVE IT WHILE PULLING IT A BIT OUT COUNTERCLOCK WISE UNTIL YOU ARE LEFT WITH LITTLE LINE ABOUT 2 INCHES THEN YOU PLUG IT BACK IN. YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH IT SO YOU KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT.
I WAS MOWING MY GRASS WITH MY SPEAKERS ON AT 6 AM, AND MY WIFE SIAD THAT SHE COULD HEAR MY MUSIC BUT SHE COULDN'T HEAR THE MOWER SO IT IS PRETTY QUIET, SHE IS VERY SENSITIVE WHEN IT COMES TO NOISE SO IT MUST BE VERY QUIET.
ANOTHER PRO IS THAT YOU WILL NOT GET AS NASTY AS YOU DO WITH A GAS POWERED ONE. REASON FOR THIS IS THAT SINCE IT IS SO TINY IT DOESN'T MOW AS MUCH AS A REGULAR GAS AND HAS LESS POWER THAT IT DOESN'T THROW TO MUCH AT YOU. REMEBER THAT WHEN YOU MOW YOU GET ALL GREENISH, WELL THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN I POSTED PICTURES OF MY SOCKS AFTER MOWING A LOT OF GRASS EVEN ON WET.
YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO USES GLOVES OR A BRUSH TO GET THE GRASS AT THE BOTTOM, JUST LIKE A GAS PWOERED ONE YOU WILL ACCUMULATE GRASS UNDER THE TRIMMER AND YOU WILL HAVE TO STOP AND MAKE A CLEAN JUST TO BE SAFE AND NOT TO OVERHEAT THE UNIT.
IT IS VERY LIGHTWEIGHT EASY TO USE AND A PERFECT REPLACEMENT FOR A GAS POWERED ONE, I M GIVING FIVE STARS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T DESERVE TO GET LESS BECAUSE OF THE CONS THAT IT HAS. NO MAJOR ISSUES. IF PEOPLE GIVE IT LESS THAN 5 STARS IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT USING IT ON WHAT I WAS MADE FOR.....SMALL LAWNS......
AS YOU CAN SEE ON MY PICTURES MY LAWN WAS VERY TALL IT WAS MORE THAN 12 INCHES, BUT THE MOWER DID A GOOD JOB AND DID NOT WEAKENED AT ANY POINT. BATTERY DOES NOT LAST AS LONG AS IT SAYS BUT HEY IT IS WAY ABOVE AVERAGE IT LASTED MORE THAN I WAS EXPECTING IT. I WAS ONLY EXPECTING IT TO RUN FOR 10 MINUTES ON EACH BATTERY.
I WAS ALSO EXPECTING IT TO EAT A LOT OF THE LINE CUTTER BUT IT DIDN'T YOU HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT ON A GAS PWOERED YOU HAVE TO SPEND ON OIL, GAS MAINTENANCE AND HOPE THAT NOTHING HITS THE BALDES BECAUSE AS SOON AS THEY ARE TORN YOU ARE OUT OF A MOWER. MAKING THE MATH IT WILL BE ABOUT THE SAME BUT WITH THE CONVENIENCE OF A MUCH SMALLER MOWER THAT YOU CAN HANG ON ANY WALL YOU HAVE USED FOR TOOLS.
I HOPE MY REVIEW HELPS BUYER AND DEFINITELY IT IS WORTH THE TRY.
GREAT QUALITY BUT REMEMBER IT WILL BE BEST FOR SMALL LAWNS BUT YOU CAN USE IT ON LARGER AREAS BUT IT WILL REQUIRE YOU TO WORK A BIT MORE.
