E-SERIES 80V BRUSHLESS SELF-PROPELLED 21" MOWER

Our quality self propelled 21 inch cut gasoline lawnmower has a 1/2 gallon fuel tank (our yard requires 1 fill up to mow the entire lawn); using 1 gallon of gasoline.

Today’s gasoline price is $3.39 per gallon!
It cost $3.39 to mow our entire lawn (gasoline cost alone, not counting oil & tune up’s)!

Our Bad Boy 21inch cut self propelled battery powered lawnmower has a 400 watt hour battery (our yard requires 1 battery recharge to mow the entire yard); using 800 watt hours.

We currently pay 23 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity.
Small battery chargers use about 20% more electricity (kilowatt hours) to charge a battery.
2-400 watt hour batteries = 800 watt hours total. (1kw = 1,000 watt hours), 800/1000=80% (therefore, it takes about 20% (or 200 watt hours) to charge 2-400 watt hour batteries)), 1,000 watt hours or 1kw in this case (costing us 23 cents to mow the entire lawn).

A SAVINGS of $3.16 to mow with our battery self propelled powered Bad Boy lawnmower!

The only caveat is the 75 minute recharge time (not a problem in our case, we just take a lunch break and finish mowing with one battery discharge indicator light showing when finished (it isn’t blinking), 1/3 battery life remaining!

If you need to mow continuously for 2 hours, just purchase a spare battery for $239 (it will take about 76 hours of mowing time to pay for it), gasoline cost alone in our case!

You can also purchase the 80 volt, 8 amp (640 watt hour) battery for $334, if need be!

As always, YOU be the Judge!

The power is consistent the battery lasts like they say and you can bank a back up in there too if your yard is really big but you won’t need it

This is a follow on to my previous review!

This mower is a QUALITY Machine with very few plastic parts, as such, it is fairly heavy at 63 pounds (without the 6 lb battery). It is great for large areas (it is not built for trimming around trees and obstacles). A bit too much for a 125 lb 80 year old Lady to trim with!

One idiosyncrasy is that releasing the power lever to stop forward motion, it is fairly difficult to pull the mower backward until you manually push it forward about 1/4 turn of the rear wheels, then the wheels rotate backwards “freely”! A bit too much for “frail people to do!

If you can overlook this small issue, it’s a GREAT mower, if you can’t deal with this issue, it’s a very good mower for large areas!

I’ve been waiting 2 years for a Manufacturer to produce an affordable, battery powered, self propelled lawnmower with the ability to cut our grass the same frequency as a gasoline powered lawnmower (rather than more often) that can be easily used by my 80 year old wife.

After trying out this lawnmower at the local Bad Boy Dealer, we purchased this one. So far it has met our expectations by exceeding my wife’s specifications for a nice level smooth cut .
Our gas powered lawnmower is a front wheel drive whereas this machine is a rear wheel drive. Consequently, she simply had to “learn” to do a 3 point turn trimming around trees and obstacles . However, she really likes the way it goes in a nice straight line without pulling and “jerking” left & right.

The price point is exactly where it is affordable ($579 for the lawnmower, 1 battery and charger) right out of the box & ready to cut grass. ($400 less than the nearest competitor with a quality machine)!

At first glance it may appear that $239 for an extra battery is outrageous . However, anyone who buys quality battery powered tools can tell you that is reasonable for a 400 watt hour battery of this quality.

We have the biggest yard on the block and one hour running time is enough to get the grass cut with our gas powered mowers or this battery powered mower.

However, it is nice to know we can always double our run time simply by purchasing a spare battery!

So far this Bad Boy has done everything the manufacturer claims without messing around with gasoline, oil, spark plugs and tune ups.

The packaging was phenomenal! Extra layers to everything, they truly went the extra mile.
