I just mowed the back yard. The 2ah battery lasted 10 minutes. The grass was shorter than the front and was not wet. I mowed for another 10 min with the larger battery and the back was done. So the back yard takes 20 - 25 min which is about the same as my reel mower. I estimated my front yard at 3200 square feet by walking it. The back yard is smaller so a real rough estimate of my yard is 5 - 6k square feet.
I'm not sure what to do. There were several other reviewers on lowes with similar 30 - 40 min run times. One person called and they said the only option was to return because they didn't have replacement parts. Maybe its the thickness of my grass. I'm going to test the voltage on the batteries after a fresh charge. Has anyone tested theirs? I was very happy mowing without a cord but the batteries are disappointing. MAYBE I could do the entire yard if I had 3 full size batteries.
