Greenworks 40V 14 Inch Cordless Push Lawn Mower with 4.0Ah Battery & Charger Included - Compatible with 75+ Tools - Perfect for Small to Medium Yards, Eco-Friendly Lawn Care

TLDR; I'm glad I got this mower, it's great for small yards especially. For more words, read on.I have never owned a lawn mower before, but my neighborhood yard guy quit doing yard work and professionals wanted way way too much for such a small job.I decided I didn't want a gas mower because I didn't want to have to buy and store gasoline, or fiddle with mixing in oil or draining it for the winter. I would have loved a rechargeable electric but my front and back yards are too small for me to justify spending more than twice as much as a corded electric mower. The low price and really good reviews convinced me to get this one. I've mowed my lawn 4 times so far and I have to say I'm really happy with it too. I hate having to deal with the cord but I love everything else.I've used it twice with the grass catcher and twice with the mulcher. Evidently higher end mowers have mulchers that cut the grass into really small pieces, but it appears this mulcher only blocks the opening in the back so that the cut grass is forced downwards. If you want to mulch (which adds nitrogen back into the lawn making it greener), do it when your grass is only around an inch too long or else you will end up with piles of dying grass strewn around the lawn that can block light to the grass underneath. The grass catcher works really well and it's easy to attatch.The mower is relatively light weight. I can pick it up off the ground. I wouldn't want to carry it far but I can pick it up to store on my covered deck or my little shed. Stronger people could easily store it on a wide enough shelf. The handle folds in two places so you can fold it flat up against the top of the mower, then the whole thing takes up fairly little space.The grass height adjustment is very noticeable, I'd say it's about 1/2 inch per number. 5 taking off the least grass, 1 being quite close to the ground. I started on 4 but have ended up leaving it on 2. On 4 the lawn still looked scruffy and needed to be mowed again two days later. On 2 I can wait 5 days or a week.It's really easy to start and stop. Hold the button near the handle then pull up the bar and that starts it. Hold the bar up against the handle while you mow. When you let go of the bar the mower stops running. Letting go of the mower for whatever reason shuts it off. That's a nice safety feature.With a cord you do have to strategize how you are going to mow. Mowing side to side outward from the plug works best. There's a hook/flange up near the handle you can loop the cord over to keep it away from the back wheels. You want to drag the cord behind you, not have to keep throwing it out of the way in front of you. I've included a picture of my first mow (where I learned to not start at the back of the yard).For my yard, the mower is really great (and it's already saved me money).
