Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I initially considered the "SP" version of this mower @ Home Depot...the only model they sell.If you have serious elevation changes in your yard, perhaps the self-propelled version is worthwhile [whether the front-wheel drive Solaris or its rear-wheel drive Epic & Utopia cousins].Otherwise, buy this model.You can't get this info from the Linamar website, but the self-propelled versions are 18# heavier; when you're trying to make a battery charge last, draining them via an extra drive belt to pull/push a [heavier] mower makes little sense.
This mower is solidly built, & the big wheels make it easy to push & quite maneuverable.I gave it a test run, then handed it off to the 16-year old who cuts my grass.No issues.I was particularly pleased to see how well it mulched, as I'm a big believer in leaving clippings to nourish the lawn.There was no clumping, & as long as we don't cut wet grass, I expect it to stay that way.
Other cordless mowers probably perform as well, though most have decks smaller than this one's 21" which means longer mowing time.I think the Solaris' brushless motor is a huge advantage, & expect great longevity.Ultimately, though, I rejected most other mowers because replacing their batteries was cumbersome or impossible; I think that's nuts.The Solaris batteries swap out in seconds.Mine lasted about as long as expected, covering 80% of my .4 acres.With the money I saved by skipping the self-propelled feature [& headaches], I bought a 2nd set of batteries & have power to spare.It's a great solution, & my neighbors--including one who just bought an $800 Honda to get a pushbutton start like mine--are jealous.
The cons are minor.Changing deck height requires moving 4 levers instead of 1...but I only do this a couple of times a season.The tone it emits on stopping is irritating [hold the bail down or pull the key to silence].Charger mechanical connections could be tighter.Overall, though, well-designed & well-built.
