I bought one of the Ego chordless electric mowers last year when my 10 year old Black and Decker chordless electric needed a new battery. The battery for the Black and Decker was expensive relative to the price of a new mower so I invested n a new Ego. Mine is not self propelled. It is a great mower. The only question will be how long it will run. I really liked the Black and Decker and it served me well for a long time, however, this mower is way better. It cuts well, it isn't heavy, and it charges in a little over an hour. We have a good size property, but we got rid of a lot of the grass to plant other things. It takes me 30 minutes to cut the grass and it is easily done on a charge. The Black and Decker needed to be charged over night to do the half hour. This one is also a better mower just in terms of cutting and mulching. It's really quiet. No need to apologize to neighbors about cutting and making a racket while they are doing there thing in the yard. It's also pretty light and easy to maneuver. I got the box in and out of the back of my Mini Cooper myself and I am not no stronger than any one else 66 years old and 5'7" and 135 lbs. only had to mow 4 times so far this year, but so far at the beginning of year 2 with the Ego, it has been a big winner for me. Happy to try and answer questions if anyone has any.
Jeff
