Product use: 3 - 6 months
Pros:
Always starts as opposed to petrol mowers, light and easy to use, easy to clean, quiet, I also purchased the Victa chainsaw which has the same battery to give me twice the cutting time.
Cons:
Struggles a bit on the lowest setting, short running time but sorted with the extra battery
Recommend it?
Yes, I recommend this product.
