Powerful 24-volt Removable Battery for Eco-Friendly Performance
When it comes to power, the Earthwise 24-volt 60120 Electric Lawnmower has plenty of it to go around. The easy-in, easy-out battery provides enough power to handle almost any lawn in a single charge. The powerful 24-volt battery system delivers consistent performance and eliminates tricky pull-starts and noisy operation, so you can have all the performance of a gas-powered motor without any of the hassles. And not only is this mower powerful, but it's also a zero-emissions tool, so you can get the job done while protecting the environment.Designed to Save You Time and Effort over the Long Term
The wide 20-inch cutting path and heavy-duty steel mower deck ensure efficient, long-lasting performance. With wide 20-inch coverage, your lawn will require fewer passes, which will save you both time and effort. Navigating tough, uneven terrain is made easy by the composite seven-inch front wheels and oversized 9-1/2 inch rear wheels, which have ball bearings for better maneuverability and longer life. And the V-handle with cushion grip offers greater control over tough terrain and provides comfort. A nice bonus, the handle folds down so you can easily store the mower. Single-lever Height Control for Easier Adjustments
Instead of having to adjust each wheel when changing the height of the mower blade, the Earthwise 60120 Cordless Electric Mower features a single-lever height control system that makes it easier than ever to adjust the height of the cut. You can choose between seven height positions, ranging from 1-1/2 to four inches. The single-lever height control is just one feature that makes the 60120 so easy to use. Other ease-of-use features include the handle-mounted safety-blade control, the easy on/off mulch plug, and the lift handle lock that releases the battery from its compartment. In addition, this mower assembles with no tools required--simply hand-tighten several components and you're ready to go! Innovative 3-in-1 Design for Added Versatility
Outperforming other mowers, the Earthwise 60120 Cordless Electric Lawnmower is three mowers in one, functioning as a mulching mower, a side discharge mower, and a rear bag mower. As your lawn changes throughout the spring, summer, and fall, the 60120 will adapt to the changing seasons as well. You can mulch your grass in the spring to help thicken the lawn, or you can use the bag to clear leaves and debris in the fall--the choice is yours! The Earthwise 60120 weighs 92 pounds and is backed by a two-year limited warranty from the manufacturer. What's in the Box
Earthwise 60120 Cordless Electric Lawnmower, grass bag, wheels, and removable 24-volt battery.

 Not Bad..Not Bad At All March 7, 2010
JK (Dallas, TX)
This mower has turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. I've tried this three times now and am impressed with how well it actually works. I'd actually rate this 4.5 stars right now. Minor downsides:
>It's a little heavy, but since my old gas mower wasn't self propelled, it doesn't feel that much different.
>Some folks have commented on the poor quality of the rubber (or whatever material that is) where you grip the handle- I'd agree that it's of poor quality and won't last very long. One good scrape along a chain-link fence proved that to me already. It will have to be replaced at some point, but I don't see that as a major problem.
Major upsides include a fairly powerful "engine" (do we still call them that on these things?), very decent battery run time, and being to finally rid myself of my noisy, smelly, maintenance intensive, very loud and generally annoying gasoline mower. Good riddance.
I mow an area appx 5000 square feet, and the battery still had about 1/2 charge left. Keep in mind that thickness of what you're cutting could significantly affect how long the battery will last. The battery life indicator is a real plus. Recharging easy as well, plus you can recharge with the battery in or out of the unit- it comes with a handy-dandy adapter for external battery charging.
All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase.
Very nice mower! (but not really green...) February 25, 2010
B. Carroll (NoVA)
Let me first say that I really like this mower and I'm glad I purchased it. It starts up without any pullcord, there are no noxious fumes coming out, there's no messing about with gas, oil, or gas/oil mixtures, and--above all--it does a great job on my lawn.
Instead of a pull cord, you simply insert the safety "key", move a lever, and lift the handle bar, and it starts up instantly. No more tug of war with a pull cord! It is not completely quiet, but I think it's quieter than my old gas mower. I can hear myself think or my iPod over it. Also, there's no fumes. My last mower would periodically exhale a blue cloud of who-knows-what. That's gone with this mower.
So far, I've had no problems with the battery. I followed the instructions on how to get the longest life out of it, so hopefully I'll get plenty of years use from the battery. I have 1 acre, and easily did each of my yards (1/2 acre each) on a charge. There's a nice battery meter on the back so you can see how much juice is left. This is my first winter with it, and they recommend keeping it in a warm place and charging every 30 days. I hope I remember, and that this spring everything is good to go.
As for performance, it's just what you would expect from a new mower. Nice blades, clean cuts, can handle the tall weeds and heavy stuff, has height adjustments, and both the mulcher and bag do a really good job. As long as you mow on a regular basis, you should have no problem mulching, as the bits were nice and small (my old mower would leave chunks of grass in it's wake, but with this mower you can barely see the chopped pieces).
Now, on to the "green" aspects. I'm pretty crunchy, and like to keep things as eco-friendly as possible. That being said, you have to remember that for most people in the USA, a plug in mower is being powered by coal burning. This isn't a hybrid car in which you're using your momentum to generate electricity, this is just another plug in appliance, like a dishwasher or TV. It feels nice to not be using gas, and when you mow you're not giving off fumes and emissions, but that's because they were already given off when the coal was burned to power your grid. Some people have nuclear power (a whole other debate), and maybe you have a windmill or solar power. If so, then this is a green mower. You can also argue that this is better than gas because it reduces dependencies on foreign oil, which is a nice plus. But don't think that this mower is helping the environment at all. Coal is dirty, even if they try and sell it as clean coal. But like I said, I knew all that and chose this mower because an electric mower gives a more pleasant mowing experience than a gas mower. I'm very happy that I chose this mower.
So, if you want a green mower, you'll have to buy a reel/push mower. If you have about a half acre or more, then you will also get a nice workout. But make sure that you mow regularly, or you will find yourself fighting jams all day. Or google bicycle lawn mower and get welding!
While not a really "green" alternative, this mower is great, and i much prefer using it to any gas mower I've used. Lets just hope that the battery and mower last. And lets hope that we keep making progress in solar, wind, algae, and other alternative energy sources, so that this mower can truly become an eco-mower!
Great Mower February 5, 2010
J. Long (San Jose, CA USA)
After reading some of the reviews I was unsure whether battery and charging issues were going to be a problem for me with this mower. But after a month of use (4 cuts of very long, wet grass), my impression is that this is an excellent mower in all respects. It is
1.) Simple and easy to assemble (though the package was extremely heavy).
2.) Easy to charge. You just have to remember to disconnect the charger after 18-24 hours.
3.) Really easy to start.
4.) Excellent at mulching. The grass just seems to disappear, even long, wet grass.
5.) Capable of cutting the large back yard of my 1/4 acre lot on a single charge
6.) Quiet, clean, and no gasoline or oil!!
I think this is a great mower and would recommend it to anyone.
It could be improved by changing the charger to a smart charger that can be continously connected to the mower whenever not in use.
 Substandard quality January 31, 2010
T. K. Harper (Newport News, Va)
When I received this product; I assembled it which was very easy right out of the box. However; the right front wheel almost fell off as soon as I tried to push it. When the height setting was set on low, the wheels rubbed the body of the mower. I returned it to Amazon for a refund and did not purchase another one.
Amazon was very cordial and promt in the return of the product. Amazon could not have been better.
It ain't easy pushing a green mower, but it's worth it... December 16, 2009

I was debating what type of mower to buy (electric vs. gas) and ended up going with electric. I did not want to deal with having to keep a gas container at the house as well as wanting to help out the environment. While looking at electric mowers, I came across this model and bought it on the spot before reading any reviews (which I almost always do before buying something). The thought of a *cordless* electric mower intrigued me enough to give it a whirl, plus it was the last one on the store shelf!
I took the mower home and after a quick 2 minute setup I left it plugged in over night to give it a charge. The first thing you will notice is that this mower is heavy! The comparable (corded) electric model by Earthwise is almost half as heavy, but that's the price you pay for going cordless.
The next day I gave it a go and was pleasantly surprised.
Pro's
1) 3-in-1 mower (bag, mulch, side shoot) - I prefer mulching myself to give the grass a healther look
2) Cordless mower with power - If you've ever used a corded mower you know the feeling of nicking your cord or hitting it completely and killing the cord...not fun!
3) Adjustable height so that you can mow to whatever length you prefer
4) Safety lever - you once you put the key/chuck into the ignition, you need to hold the lever to put the mower on, so if you let go it won't stay on
5) Removable battery - for the winter months I've got my mower in the shed, but the battery comes out and I can plug it in the garage every month to give it a charge (see final con below)
6) Battery has indicators telling you how much charge you have left
Con's
1) HEAVY! Although if this is a concern you should probably not be looking at a cordless model as I'm sure they all have extra weight
2) When I'm done mowing in mulch mode, there is a bit of grass build-up near the back where the bag shoot is. This is probably common in a lot of mulch mowers, but still needs to be pointed out
3) Battery Charging - the manual states that you should give the battery a full charge once a month, and never let it die completely. I'm not sure if not doing this will shorten the battery life, but don't want to find out either!
Conclusion
This mower does a terrific job in mowing your lawn. I can get at least 3 uses for my lawn before plugging it back into the charger. It works great, and looks good too.
