Snapper XD SXDWM82K - (21") 82-Volt Cordless Electric Lawn Mower

Bought it for me to use but my wife loves it too. I like not having to mess with gas and oil.

This is an interesting product since I had 6 years ago purchased a TORO E-Cycler from MowersDirect, which only has a 1/3 (!!!!!) HP motor on it.

The snapper is at LEAST triple this - you can stall it about as easily as a gas mower, which is a GREAT improvement over the E-Cycler.

OF course, you won't get 'up to 45 minutes' of run time if you are actually mowing. In extremely tall, wet grass, I got about 10 minutes with the standard 2 ampere-hour battery, but I also ordered the $280 4 ampere-hour additional battery (which both charge in 30 or 60 minutes respectively with the included fast charger - draws 3 amps at 110 volts by the way.

So this is a workable combination and I'd recommend it but you'll need an additional battery to charge in the charger while you are using the other one to cut a lawn of any appreciable size. It does seem better than 'entry level' with the nice heavy steel decking.
