I'd say it's mowing capabilities aren't quite as good as a traditional gas-powered unit and the trimmer isn't quite as good as a traditional hand-held (though as an edger it's terrific), but for average needs such as mine, it's been a good partner through the many years. I give the lawn a couple of passes to catch any stray blades and clippings, as well as a quick trim and edge, and the lawn looks spiffy by the time I'm finished in a short time. The Neuton's always done the trick for me.

I live in a row home with a 15' x 40' plot out back and 15' x 20' plot in front. The original battery that came with it (I bought it at a brick and mortar dealer) was not good at the beginning of the 2nd season.

The should go on this web site to get some tips: //To break the handle, it take a big torque and when I say a big torque, it not going to break going around trees.Other than that, that a good mower and BTW, you don't cut grass when it is wet, no one recommend that, you cut when it is hot and dry and the best time is around 2 o'clock.Finally, maintain the sharpness of the blade, your battery life will last longer. The only responsible person is the owner of the battery in most of the cases. Most of the people don't know how to maintain battery and that is the reason why they fail after one year. I keep my batteries stored inside my bedroom and try to remember to throw them on the charger occasionally during winter. I know the nature of batteries, they don't like heat and no matter what they will deplete over time. Since then the only thing I've done is bought a $15 replacement blade, and up until this season have gotten pretty much a full charge on both batteries (one battery has basically died, the other is still going strong). Because of the size of my yard, nearly an acre, I bought an extra battery as well. My favorite things about the mower - first, it is so quiet, and, second, so light weight.PositiveMidlothian, TX(1 review)May 25, 2014I bought the Neuton 6 about 5 years ago or so. I went to the local Batteries Plus store, and while I waited they took apart the Neuton battery case and replaced the innards for $89.98 plus tax giving me a one year warranty and 14 day return policy, plus it was immediately ready to mow without need to put on the charger. I just replaced the battery - just short of 5 years.
