 Disappointing August 15, 2010
amolba (VT)
We bought the earlier version of this mower. Quieter, though not silent. The battery does not last well, are expensive to replace and still use electrical power (coal plants). The worst is that the batteries are lead acid, which is very bad for the environment, and Neuton does not offer convenient recycling. A lead acid battery in a landfill is equally as bad or worse for the environment as minimal gas consumption. Consider carefully, this is a very expensive purchase, requiring continual expensive purchases and is not as green as you might think. We gave ours away.
 DON'T BUY IT!!! iunie 18, 2010

It's JUNK, JUNK, JUNK!!!! Save yourself the heart ache, the frustration and the waste of your money. We bought it a year ago and the lawn mower lasted a month before it broke down. Two months later it broke down again. We've had it a little over a year and it has worked for MAYBE 3 months total, and I'm being generous. Customer service is just as bad as the lawn mower. They sent the wrong part twice. The lawn mower has been down since March. You might as well throw your money in the trash it will save you frustration, instead of buying this piece of junk.
poor battery life Mai 4, 2010

I have a 5.? mower and cannot keep the battery working for more than 1 season. I store the battery per manufacturers suggestion (which has changed over the years) but still have to buy a battery every year. That's fairly expensive. I won't buy another. My mower is going to the dump and the batteries I've collected to the recycle.
 Neuton CE5 has a bit more power than my corded Black & Decker had Mai 2, 2010

We got this mower at an [...] mower trade in event. We didn't have a gas mower to trade in so we paid $175 for this mower. (We are giving our old B&D electric away to our dog sitter). I paid $299 for the B&D electric and it always had trouble with the higher grass. The Little Neuton CE5 has a bit more torque than the B&D ever had. The cutting path is quite a bit smaller at 14 inches, however, my wife keeps re-claiming more and more yard and turning it into garden so the 1500 or so square feet of lawn we have left is easily mowable with this little puppy. Set up was easy. I took the battery and charger into the back porch and had it charging while I assembled the mower. The battery wasn't fully charged after set up, but after about 4 hours on the charger (the manual said it could take 8 to 14 hours to fully charge), the light on the charger changed from red to green indicating the battery was fully charged. Even with all the rain and foot high grass (which would require a couple passes with any mower), going through that mostly dry foot high grass was easier with the Neut than with the B&D.
 The "Prius" mower aprilie 30, 2010

I have the previous version of this mower, now 8 years old, and it finally died. The original batteries are still going, and I can still trim. We are rather rough on mowers (previous record: 3 years on a gas mower), but until last year, you could get any part to repair it. All mowers will need maintenance, but overall this has been much cheaper to operate and repair. I am ordering this version to replace it, which has been out a few years, and it is mostly the same as mine. Mine is the first version sold.
If you use up all the juice in one battery, just slip another one in. I can mow my small yard and do all the trimming and still have juice left over on one battery. I can mow on Sunday morning and not disturb anyone (you can talk in a low voice and be heard while mowing). You can pick it up with one hand. I mulch my leaves with it. The trimmer is the best one I have ever had.
Like all electric mowers, it requires a certain philosophy to be successfull (the "Prius" thing). I use the entire width and do not overlap rows, leaving a 4" mowhawk. Then I go back and mow that. You cannot walk too fast over the wet or extra thick parts. With this method, it is as fast and as thorough as my last 5 1/2 hp gas mower. You need to keep the batteries charged, but not on the charger all of the time. If you are not willing to make adjustments like this, you will be happier with a gas mower. The 36 volt version is more powerful, and so is a corded electric, but for small yards, this is fine.
