Lawn and Garden — FAQ
What size cordless mower do I need?
Match cutting width to yard size: 13-14 inches for lawns under 2,500 sq ft, 16-17 inches for 2,500-5,000 sq ft. Beginners should start smaller for easier handling and lower cost.
How long do batteries last?
Most 4.0Ah batteries run 30-60 minutes depending on grass thickness. Buy a second battery for continuous mowing if your yard exceeds 30 minutes of cutting time or 5,000 sq ft.
Are cordless mowers powerful enough?
Modern 40V brushless models rival gas mowers on residential lawns. They handle thick fescue, slight slopes, and weekly growth patterns. Only extreme overgrowth or large properties require gas power.
What's the maintenance like?
Nearly zero maintenance. No oil changes, spark plugs, or air filters. Just clean grass clippings from the deck after each use and sharpen the blade once per season—tasks anyone can master in minutes.
Can I mow wet grass?
Avoid mowing wet grass. It clumps under the deck, strains the motor, creates uneven cuts, and poses slip hazards. Wait until morning dew evaporates or after rain stops and grass dries for 2-3 hours.
How do I store it in winter?
Clean the deck thoroughly, charge battery to 50% (not 100%), and store mower and battery in a dry location above freezing. This prevents battery degradation and rust during off-season months.
