Title: Long-term Reliability
Product review: Hello everyone, I'd like to comment on this fabulous mower! I purchased the mower in spring 2004 and have had ZERO problems, ZERO maintenance and ZERO hassles for the last 5 (yes, five!) mowing seasons. The original blade is dull and needs to be sharpened, so I've decided to purchase a replacement and have two blades on hand. I'm glad I chose the corded version of the mower. The rechargeable battery model would likely need a replacement battery by now too. I highly recommend this mower for small yards with minimal obstacles.Pros: Lightweight, easy for a woman to maneuver, easy to clean with a broom, easy to raise and lower mowing deck. The handle switch works flawlessly, every time. One hour of mowing every week doesn't even make a blip on my electric bill.Cons: After 2 years of weekly mowing, the paint on the handle was worn off completely. Having to step over the cord with every left turn is only somewhat annoying considering the money I've saved on gas and maintenance.
