Not quite ready for prime time : Neuton Battery Electric Lawn Mower
Neuton Electric Mower
For those with no time to read this in its entirety, the bottom line is this: not ready for prime time. However, given that conclusion, I'm not sure that I will be taking advantage of the six month return policy. The Neuton would definitely never satisfy my neighbor who wants to have a putting green lawn, but then, I'm not nearly as concerned as he. All I want is something relatively green. If you have a small level lot and don't want it to look like a putting green, the Neuton is probably for you. This review is based on using the Neuton from June until September.
Pros:
1. Extremely quiet. I don't have to wear ear plugs anymore. You don't know the lawn is getting mowed unless you see the person pushing the mower.
2. Not a point source of pollution. Some power plant somewhere is generating a little more pollution to recharge the battery. Hopefully, more renewable energy sources will be coming on-line.
3. Easier to maneuver than my heavier gas mower.
4. Good battery life. I bought an extra battery because of what I read prior to purchasing the Neuton. However, I have never had to change batteries to get the lawn mowed. We are on a court, the front is around 40', the back is something like 350' and the yard is about 80' deep. In addition, there is a 20' easement between us and our western neighbor. I mow half of that, too.
5. Cuts better and faster after sunset. It cuts even better after the battery status light is interfering with my night vision. However, it is not disturbing the neighbors!
Cons:
1. Does not cut evenly. There is much more tall grass left behind than with the gas mower. I imagine that is because the Neuton's blade doesn't run as fast as a gas mower and that it doesn't generate as much vacuum to pull the grass up into the blade.
2. Does not mulch well. I installed the mulching kit. If the mower is cutting more than a half inch to an inch or so, it leaves a trail of once cut clippings. Cutting only half the mower width to reduce the load doesn't seem to help. My gas mower has two blades and the partial width trick works great with it when I let the lawn get too long. Our east side grows much faster than the west side, so by the time the west needs cutting, the east is way overdue.
3. Does not cut, let alone mulch, leaves. Our crab apple tree dropped a lot of leaves this summer. Running the Neuton over the leaves left them laughing. They got tickled, not cut or mulched. Since I started using a gas mulching mower years ago, I haven't collected leaves in the fall because the gas mower mulched them very well. The Neuton is lucky if it cuts a leaf in two. [A couple weeks later:] The poplars in the wetland at the back of the yard dropped a lot of leaves in the last week. I could not see any difference between before and after running over them with the Neuton.
4. Is a lot more work than the self-propelled gas mower. Our lot is six to eight feet lower at the back than the front. When we moved in from our level lot, I discovered that my push gas mower was very heavy. Fortunately, the blade brake died during the first season and I traded it in on a self-propelled unit. I thought the Neuton might be light enough, but it isn't. I thought I was going to have a heart attack the evening I mowed when the heat index was over 100�F.
5. Blade doesn't seem to hold an edge. It will certainly take one, as my bloody thumb demonstrated when I got careless the first time I sharpened it. (I don't have a grinder, so I use a file.)
Safety:
1. Check/tighten the four screws that hold the handle on and together frequently.
Since I wanted an extra battery and the mulching kit, I just ordered the accessory kit. I have used the edger once. It does a much better job of cutting than my electric hand weed whacker. However, being attached to a 45 pound mower on four wheels it is rather clumsy. Being light weight compared to a gas mower makes the mower seem manuverable, but it is still extremely massive for an edger.
Competition: Last year, the Neuton was the only cordless rotory mower I could find. (Black & Decker was under a recall.) I couldn't find a single review of the Neuton, so I didn't buy. This year, Black & Decker was back, but at 75 pounds, 30 more than the Neuton, I rejected it. (I didn't see anything indicating that the Black & Decker is self propelled as a 75 pound mower should be.) The new contender was the Bully. It is lighter than the Neuton, but I rejected it because it doesn't have a mulching option. (Turns out the Neuton doesn't mulch very well, so maybe that wasn't a good criterion to reject it.)
