Until you buy one of their lawn mowers and the SLA batteries die after a year...

What year? I got one like 5(?) years ago and it was lithium.

Definitely doesn't run as long as when it was new but does enough.

For those of you getting a lawn mower, don't get the cheapest one you can. A 13" wide blade is uh gunna take nearly double the passes a 20" wide blade will.

I got the 13” for my postage stamp lawn and it works great. 27 pounds! But I get your point on moving time.
