Final Concerns
- light enough to carry (rather than wheel) from garage to the back of the house
- Very easy to store when broken apart.
- On the cordless version the batteries take a long time to charge, they have reasonable power for about 15 minutes and then slowly fades out and hey need to be replaced about every two years
- The similarities to a vacuum made it easy to keep the cord out of the way–hold the cord in one hand and push the mower with the other.
- Detached from the trimmer, the mower deck can be washed off with a hose.
