    The small-battery problem is really a pity. I don’t have enough lawn to end up using anything other than a reel mower, which doesn’t have the battery problem.

      My yard is too big for a reel mower but too small to justify maintaining a gas mower.

      After the battery hack, the electric one has been great. I just wish it’d have been designed like that from the start.

      I had a corded one before this, and it was more trouble than it was worth wrangling the extension cord around, not running over it, and just dealing with it in general.

        I’m supposed to be maintaining this?
