I have a Stiga which is very similar. I got it because with a 2.2kW motor and separate drive motor it approximates to the power of a petrol lawnmower, except it doesn't quite. I mostly mulch, even when I shouldn't because I would be forever stopping and emptying bags and I believe the goodness should go back to the soil. However it does stop due to grass clumping and sticking between the blade and deck, which my petrol mower doesn't until it is totally packed with grass. That said the Stiga is lighter and more manoeuvrable and having a separate drive motor does mean you can stop driving but leave the blades turning whilst you turn round. It still annoys me that it powers down after a few seconds though, and the on/off button is fiddly if you are wearing gardening gloves.
The Stiga makes the same rear wheel clunking sound as you move it around and sometimes locks up making it hard to turn, as also happens on my DR Strimmer mowers and Billy Goat leaf vacuum. I think it is the lack of a differential, relying on the drive ratchet on each wheel to disengage, so backing up a few inches can help release it. My Honda mower does not do this, but I think it has a differential as well as the ratchets.
With the Stiga there is an infuriating delay between selecting drive and the mower actually moving. Also the Stiga motor speed control is like a volume knob down the side of the handle so it is difficult to dynamically alter the speed as you are mowing and certainly not as you go round obstacles. I much prefer a system where the speed is proportional to the hand pressure on the bar or there is a thumb control, which the Honda has.
Personally I like individual wheel height adjusters so I can run the mower down a raised curb but the Stiga has a central control. Fortunately it is a lighter mower so I can just about hold it up on one side whilst I do this but as I am approaching 70 not for much longer!
PS
Oh and yes the Stiga has a similar battery compartment, which I have already broken pushing under bushes! A replacement cover is waiting for me at the supplier.
Thanks for sharing this marquis! Those battery covers sure are flimsy!
I got the yellow 26 inch dual blade mower today. Took me 20 minutes and couple of trips into the house before finding a video that explained the stupid blade starting requirement. It's annoying, but I can live it. The Maximum Overdrive runaway self-propel function might be a deal breaker for me. It wouldn't bother me if all I had to do was squeexe the blade switches, but you have to do the two-hand startup every time. Who designed this thing, Boeing? It's like their auto stall system where you have to flip a switch, pull a lever, and crank a wheel to keep it from flying itself into the ground. Hopefully, all these idiotic functions are in the switches themselves and I can hack a workaround. How hard is it to just have a switch be an on and off switch? Not hard.
This unit has many poor designs.
I went with an EGO and couldn’t be more satisfied. 👍🏻✌🏻
I have 2 cycle lawn boys. One is a 1990 F series engine. And the other is a 2001 Duraforce. Great mowers. No oil changes, ever! Wouldn’t trade them for any battery or 4 cycle gas mower.
JB, Review a 2 cycle lawn boy and you’ll be hooked!
I’ll be keep an eye out for one
I’m just the opposite. I’ve had a Lawnboy Silver Series with a 6.5 HP Duraforce 2 stroke engine for 21 years. It still runs great but burns through coils every couple seasons now. And finally the self propelled cable snapped and I had to push that 90 pound beast through my yard. I went to Ace and bought an EGO 2135SP and will never look back. The EGO definitely outperforms my Lawnboy. 👍🏻✌🏻
@@GarageGearyou can have mine!
I just bought a new HRN and after the first start the motor is very hard to turn over in the same mowing session while the motor is still warm. It felt like I was going to break the cord and had to slightly pull, let off and pull again. Tested it maybe a dozen times and got the same result. Does this sound like the motor just has really high compression being new or would you consider swapping it for another unit? Bought it at Lowe’s so that would be easy. Thanks in advance!
Hey Js first I’m hearing oh this kind of situation. I would take it back and see if you could get another. Thanks for watching
Basically its a shiny P.O.S. I stick with a quality Gas powered mower. Take care of it and it will last you 15-20 years. No expensive batteries, fill the tank up in 30 seconds, instead 90 minutes charges. This electric stuff is a total scam. All about mass control. Don’t fall for it. Good review though. Honest.
Not falling for it my friend! Gar reigns supreme in my garage! Appreciate your feedback Bruce! Thanks for watching
No need to be so negative on what otherwise is a fine.....FINE mower, I tell you.
Janky Handlebars = Flexibility to twist avoiding low hanging trees!
Meager headlamps = Finely tuned for closeup hangnail removal!
Unstable height deck = Hugs the variable terrain for that close shave!
Clicky plastic battery hinge = Auditory alarm that all important battery compartment is opening!
Grindey Rear Wheel gear = Like playing cards in bicycle wheels, makes you sound cooler!
Motor cuts off during mow = Labor board mandated rest periods, to ease your working discomfort!
To finish this unit off, we just have to replace that nasty metal deck with a lightweight plasticky deck with Fischer Price™ molded blades.
RUNNNN......!
Hahahaha 😂 that’s it I’m hiring you to write my video scripts space cadet! Even the garage gal was cracking up to this! May have to use these in future vids lol! But those janky handlebars do help you get under low hanging trees 🤔…
Im a widow, old , and still want to mow my 2 acre yard. I have an older riding mower and now for several places I need a weedeater. I can't start my gas (lg. echo ) anyway. I want good one push mower. Which one please.
Thanks😇
Hey Donna, sorry for your loss! Honda makes two great mowers that are made to last of taken care of. Many others out there are junk. The Honda HRN216 or the HRX217 are both great models that won’t give you trouble and can be bought with electric start. Let me know if you have any more questions 👍
That JD mower I believe is their anniversary edition. I have one that’s around 30 years old and still runs great. Anyway, I’m impressed with the battery life JB. I noticed in the video while you were cutting, the torquing of the handle bars. Hmmmm not a good thing. Would be neat to see how well the headlights work. Always a great review an honest opinion JB!! ( did you try out that new lawn edger yet?) I did notice the clean edge…cheers buddy!
Hey Jay!!! Those old John Deere’s are great! Can’t beat em! The headlights are just beige enough. Appreciate the positive feedback as always! That new edger is amazing! One cut pass and the Honda engine is actually pretty quiet! Very cool machine! Happy I bought when I did because the price went up a week later. Lol! Have a good week my friend!
@@GarageGear I might just have to see that edger..enjoy this lovely weather!
@@jaybooth4815 you got it bud! Next weekend looks promising!
I know this isn't supposed to be an example of a top of the line electric push mower, but there is no way I could stand using this with the handlebars acting like that and what could be a faulty wire that is causing the mower to stop. When it gets hot later in the year you might start seeing overheating issues to go with it if it doesn't fail altogether.
Then again, it takes almost 3 hours for me to mow the lawn if I have to rely on a push mower alone to do it, so I'm not in the market for an electric anyway. Gas operated all day.
Yes you’ll definitely need gas for your property! Thanks for watching no silver!
….and then after that 3-5 years that battery replacement (if even available then) will be multiple hundreds of dollars ..currently approximately $275..No thank you!..great job JB!!…Paul
That’s where they get ya! Thanks for watching gos! Have a good weekend
Best Guy gear channel on RUclips I've found so far. JB, your "algorithm" is spot on for me. No nonsense, to the point quick, and not afraid to be you in any sense of what that obviously is. Thanks for the great content.
Appreciate you smith! Gotta get down to business here in each video! Thanks for being a cool fan!
Great review jb! Honest and fair. And my opinion, honestly, is that looks like junk. Between the “flex deck and the flimsy battery cover, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t last 1 time without damage on my lawn. They need to do better
Hey JL the problem nowadays is they need to cut weight to make these battery mowers as efficient as possible. Doing so sacrifices durability big time when you put plastic in all the wrong spots! Thanks for watching my friend!
Hey JB, First thing I notice on that is No Tread! It looks like it's been a mower thats been around and used for 10 years+ ... With the cheap looking plastic cover it's not for me, I have bushes that would eat that up.
This is definitely a mower that’s not made to last. Thanks for watching Ed! 👍
That front deck flex is a dealbreaker. No thanks
Loads of flex there! Wasn’t putting much pressure on it either! Thanks for watching Nicholas!
Another example of battery powered OPE having an annoying control set-up. Plus this machine has all the rigidity of Play-Doh! 😅
Hey small block!!! It’s pretty limited! Flexes like a son of a gun! Have a great weekend bud👍
Another quality review JB. I feel like if you could get a mower in your happy meal, it would be that mower.
Yeah that pretty much sums it up here. Appreciate you Chris!
"More plastic then a Kardashian" hahaha made my morning! Well done JB
Hahaha a lot of truth in that statement! Have an awesome weekend bellefs! 👍
@@jeremynguyen2346 👍
Great JB video again. I would have broken that on my first try!
Appreciate you Mark! Big plans for the weekend?
Looks like it was made by a computer that has never actually mowed a yard.
I would agree! Lol thanks for watching!
Great review, JB! That bouncy deck height thing is odd. Maybe they were going for shock absorption?
Appreciate you mace! Never seen such a mower bounce so much lol! At least it’s off road ready! Thanks for watching as always!
another crappy china product. it wouldnt last down here cutting st augustine 2x a week, your grass looks good what did u put down
St Augustine is some thick stuff Ray! This mower would have a hard time. Lawn is in full spring mode now! I recently did a soil test and had low nitrogen and potassium. Phosphorus is way up. I put down purely organics lawn food from Home Depot. Works great and has no phosphorus. Gonna keep spoon feeding every few weeks! How’s things by you?
@@GarageGear my lawn guy scrimps on fertilizer, so I have to do some supplemental stuff myself. I put down some scotts southern turf builder and that stuff worked great, i put it down a little heavier than I should have though and we had alot of rain now I have to cut 2 x a week, just sharpened the blades on the honda wow what a cut.
@@raynorczyk5497 the extra growth is your lawn just saying thank you! Lol! Smart move keeping that blade sharp! Bet it lays down a nice cut with nice stripes! 👍
I have a Sears Craftsman 3 n 1 mulcher. Bought it new in 1991, it is on its second blade and needs the shut off cable replaced for the third time but it starts and runs like brand new yet.
Awesome thanks for sharing Tom!
Great video and information thank you. I was undecided on buying a electric push mower just a try out.
But I am also looking for a gas powered chainsaw what do you recommend? I currently have the CS400 from echo
Hey outdoor! Echo and stihl make some of the best chainsaws. In my opinion either one you can’t go wrong with!
Yeah, a swing and ....a MISS!
Strikeout… thanks for watching bud! Have a good week
See if it can still do your lawn in a year or so
Time will tell I guess! Thanks for watching George! 👍
You lost me with made in China sorry
Thanks for watching William!
Nice job Jared!!!
Appreciate you Dave! See ya outside! 👍
Great job being as impartial as possible. I'd be mocking that rip-off nightmare 6 ways to Sunday. Electric powered mowers randomly powering down? No worries, right?.....right?
Appreciate you gpalmer! People need to see real tests and really what they’re made of. Thanks for watching!
just get the non self propelled one
You could to avoid some issues! Thanks for watching
"Lithium-ion battery" or also known as "how to set the garage on fire, without really trying". Seriously dude ??????????
It’s a great way to set your garage on fire lol! 😂
Lol 😂 that k joke as classic
Hahaha that’s a lot of plastic lol! Thanks for watching cord!
Nice job man! You make great videos. I have this one and agree with what you a
Said. 👍
Thanks for the feedback, Andy! I’m
You enjoyed the video!
