If you open it and it’s dead on arrival or doesn’t work or you don’t even use it and want to return it they won’t take it back.

Only things I buy at crappy tire are things under $20

Voltage does not equal power. You could have a 1000V battery in a tool and it could have less power than an 18V tool. Power is equal to voltage x current. The only real issue is how much current you need to get the desired amount of power and if the battery has been designed to supply that much current. Having an 80V tool is not inherently better than a 40V tool, the 40V tool would just need to draw twice as much current to provide the same amount of power. The marketers at the companies that make these tools know that people think higher voltage = more power = better but that's simply not the case comparing between brands especially when things like brushed vs brushless come in which have different torque curves for the same amount of electrical power.

For a mower or any battery powered rotating machines, you should be more concerning about torque (and speed) instead when looking for good performance. The torque output of a DC motor is proportional to voltage. Without turning this into an academic discussion, just google search and you'll see. A quick explanation in laymen term can be found here.

At the moment though, it's $749. I guess if one can wait for the 80v model to go on sale (if it does) they really should. The one I posted isn't a huge step down though. You would get definitely get more power with the 80V model and at 4.0 AH, the specs say it would last for 50 mins. 60V at 5.0AH for the one I posted would be less power and run time overall, but the specs say up to 60 mins. For me, my lawn has some slopes, so the adjustable self-propelled feature is really useful. If your lawn isn't flat or it's hard to push, it's a really good feature that is worth the premium compared to non-self-propelled models.

I still think this model is a good deal, at least at this moment in time. I was hoping for more deals for Father's Day but it is what it is.

Edit: there's also a $45 dynamic coupon with purchases > $550.

I'm happy with the EGO I bought several years ago on Kijiji - might be able to get a discount in late summer/early fall at Home Depot. I agree with you on the self-propelled not really being needed for everyone - my model doesn't have it but I have a largely flat lawn, so it's not terribly difficult to push. Also, the self-propelled feature will eat into the battery life for those that have it (my last cordless mower happened to have it - never really used the feature), so again, unless you really need it, non-self-propelled is probably the better way to go.

Edit #2: Also just to add, for those that have small garages like me, look for a mower that can fold away / stored upright (most of the EGO models can). Not sure this model is capable of that (I believe the Toro cordless can though).

I didn't really consider the fact it'd eat into the battery. I would (more below) report on how much it takes on my battery doing a go through of the whole yard but I uncovered a snag.

So I set it up, tested it out, worked fine, folded it up...went into the garage to get the S/N for registering and the front plastic piece looked off. I looked at it, tried to put it back into place and realized it was cracked and now it completely came off. It seems to be an aesthetic piece but can't say I'm 100% impressed. The tape on the box looked a bit funny and I even took a picture before I opened it to prove it. Wonder if it was a return? It was pretty clean otherwise but Le sigh...seeing as it was the last one, maybe Greenworks can send a clip or the thing it needs to be remounted properly. @@ If there were 100 in stock, I'd just return it, but I think it's sold out?

Hate to say it, but sometimes, I do seriously wonder about the quality of stuff at CT.

Still a good deal and I'm sure this is just a bit of bad luck.
