I am months from being 78, under 5', who decided with the right equipment I could save money and mow my own yard! Had a male friend get the battery operated mower put together and show me how to use it. I was delighted to then do my front and back yards with no further help. The mower has 2 lithium -ion batteries, lasting about 30 minutes each, 16'' width cut and the handle can be lowered for shorter people to use easily. I had no trouble emptying the grass catcher bag either. The price was just over $300 and hopefully will last me for along time. Happy mowing to the rest of you folks too!
