Wow ! Now that is impressive. How soon will it be before we see Sun Joe Li-Ion lawn mowers as well ?

I don't know if it's Li-Ion, but there are battery-powered ones by Sun-Joe: Sun Joe Mow Joe 20-Inch Bag/Mulch/Side Discharge Cordless Self-Propelled Lawn Mower MJ409C

All those Sun Joe lawn mowers are either corded or SLA battery cordless, and have been around for many years. I'm specifically looking for them to introduce Li-Ion battery powered mowers, similar to those from Greenworks, Recharge Mower, and Stihl.

Alright...I don't know much about electric mowers so thanks for the info.

Certainly sounds like an impressive piece of machinery!

There is a reason there are no other battery operated snowblowers

It takes a lot of steady power to move heavy snow.... the battery is fine but what will happen if there is any significant amount of snow?

Well then that would bot be the machine for you, because similar electric snowblowers are only rated for 4 inches of snow. And similar single-stage gas snow blowers are only rated for 6 inches. Well, according to Power Equipment Direct.

Yes well electric has steady power from an outlet no battery to drain, and gas snowblowers have lots of sustainable power. How long will these batteries last with 4in of snow?
