If you are thinking about going “Green” with your life but you still have a large yard to take care of, you should think about getting the RechargeMower.
This rechargeable electric mower will have you cutting your grass without having to worry about fuel and oil. It holds up to 3 hours on a single charge and that is more than enough to take care of a medium sized yard.
Another great thing you won’t have to worry about is waking your neighbors early in the morning by running your lawn mower.
The quiet operation and running of this electric mower will keep the peace no matter what time of the morning you want to get in a good day’s work. It also sports 5 cutting heights ranging in half inch increments from .75 to 2.75 that will allow you to cut your grass to the perfect height to fit your needs. Most other riding mowers only feature 3 cutting heights.
Once you get the lawn mower, you will have to plug it in overnight to make sure it has a full charge. After that, you can mow your yard with the knowledge that you aren’t using any fossil fuels just to keep your grass cut. And with the grass catcher included, you can use your trimmings for your own compost pile.
First of all, unpacking the Recharge mower is a challenge. You essentially have to demolish the packing material, which makes it impossible to return the mower since you have to return it in the original packing. Getting the mower off the shipping pallet required the assistance of a block and tackle to lift it over the edge–not an easy job.
The mower itself seems to cut ok, but there are two things to consider. First, the steering is very hard if you’re used to the rack and pinion steering found on most riding mowers. Second, the turning radius is large, a bit over 4 feet, making it difficult to use in tight places or to make sharp turns, especially if you mow in a diminishing circle as I do.
My recommendation: try the thing out before you buy it. This may be difficult as there don’t seem to be many (any?) local dealers.
