Neuton 6.2 Battery Mower Review |
|
The Neuton 6.2 battery powered mower is the most expensive in its class, but we think it might just be worth it. We spent the weekend with the little fella and he did a great job! To our surprise, it worked exactly as advertised and then some. On our half acre lot, it cut the entire yard without hesitation. We bagged the front clippings and set the height on 3. We realized that might have been shorter than we normally mow. In the back we mulched with the height set to 4. All in all it absolutely worked beautifully. Features of the Neuton 6.2: 1. Lightweight - At 69 lbs, it is very light compared to a conventional mower. Definitely makes up for not being motorized, don't really miss that feature from my gas powered mower. The larger rear wheel makes a nice pivot point ensuring easy to turn. 2. Easy To Start - I remember many a day breaking a sweat simply trying to start my gas mower. The ability to simply squeeze the handle makes it nice for stopping to pick up something in front of your path and will make it very easy for my wife to operate.
