Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

These are shit. Aging wheels on YouTube did a review on them.

They have lead acid batteries, so it’ll trim a full yard once or twice on a charge for about 6 months. After a year or so you have to replace the batteries. That’s like 400 bucks worth of batteries every year.

I own the push mower version.

That was true of the first gen batteries. They lasted a year and then stopped holding a charge.

There are second gen batteries that seem to be holding up better, I'll be going into my third year with them soon so we'll see.
