82V MAX Cordless Electric 19" Push Lawn Mower with Snapper XD Technology

Kay and Jay: I like everything about this mower because it gets the job done! I bought this mower for a very large front, back AND side yard with VERY TALL and strong dandelion weeds. The cheapest lawn care provider I could find to mow the yard was $50 a visit. My reel mower wouldn’t cut the dandelions and the time it took in the yard was ridiculous. Approximately 2 to 2.5 hours on just the front yard with my reel mower. So, I had no choice but to hire someone. After doing the math and considering how much a $50 visit twice a month would cost over a year’s time in southern weather, I chose to buy a battery powered mower.
