Excellent Mower, June 26, 2009
By Unix Pimp

I actually have owned the Neuton CE 6.2 model for over one season. The Neuton CE 6.3 is this year’s model.

This is an excellent battery powered mower. It is very light without the battery, and it is around 70 lbs with the battery installed.

The mower is very quiet and is about as loud as a cooling fan. There are little to no vibrations from the motor, which is a huge positive for people like me who have issues with holding vibrating tools for long periods of time.

The battery does last for about an hour, but you should plan out your cutting route. Do not goof around, and you should be able to mow an entire 1/3rd acre yard in one charge. If you have a larger yard or you have a thick blade southern grass yard, then a second battery is recommended.

The motor is maintenance free. No oil or fuel issues like traditional gas powered mowers. The motor starts right away with a fully charged battery. During the winter season, I stored the mower, kept the battery on the charger, and the mower was ready for the spring cutting season with zero hassle or maintenance.

Since it does not emit exhaust and is quiet, mowing the yard is pleasurable. You can smell the cut grass instead of the exhaust fumes and you do not have to wear ear plugs. I do not have an issue pushing the mower since it is only 70 lbs, so I do not miss the self propelled feature. I have a bumpy, uneven lawn, and I do not have a problem pushing the mower. It is no harder than pushing a shopping cart, so most people should not miss the self propelled feature of other mowers.

I would recommend cleaning the underside of the deck after each mow with a garden hose. There is no issue tipping the mower on its side since it will not leak fluids like a gas mower. I would also recommend sharpening the blade at least once a month. Neuton sells a sharpening tool, but any blade sharpener will work. Neuton recommends keeping the battery on the charger when not in use, unless you are storing the mower over a several month period. The owner’s manual has all the details. That is another benefit of the Neuton. Since Neuton is a USA based company, the instructions are in clear English, and the customer service is excellent.

There is also the environmental factor to owning this mower, and that may be important to some people. It was not high on my list, but it is nice to not pollute the air while cutting my lawn. Small gas engines emit more pollution than a car with a V-8 engine, which is something to consider.

However, this mower is probably not cheaper to own than a cheap gas mower. I know you can get a cheap gas mower at your local big box home center for less than $200, but you have to deal with all the negatives of a gas powered mower. It is not fair to compare this mower to a cheap $200 mower. Compare it to a $450 – $500 gas mower, and then one can see the cost savings of the Neuton.

quiet and cuts nicely, June 27, 2009
By Phil Loubere

I’ve been using a factory-reconditioned 6.2 for a few months now and am generally pleased. I have a 1/4-acre lot and usually am able to cut the entire lawn in one shot without running out of power. My neighbor commented on how quiet it is, about the sound of a vacuum cleaner – he was much intrigued by it.

On the up side:
- The quality of the lawn cut is very good, the blade spins very fast. With basket attached, it collects all the cuttings very cleanly.
- It’s fairly light and easy to push. It is not, however, self-propelled.
- Not having to deal with gas and oil and the problems of starting a gas engine are big pluses.
- It has good safety features – a key that must be inserted, a power switch, and a sliding button safety for the trigger bar that actually starts the motor.
- There is a power meter, keeping you advised of the amount of electricity left.
And keep in mind the environmental factors – a lawn mower engine can produce as much pollution as 23 cars. Lawn maintenance equipment is now one of the larger pollution sources in major metro areas.

On the down side:
Construction quality has been cut in some areas (probably to cover the cost of the expensive battery):
- The all plastic body scratches fairly easily. I already have deep scratches in the handle from going around bushes.
- The wheels are only secured with interior-tooth washers, not nuts. I’ve had one wheel pop off already, but it was fairly easily reattached. Still, doesn’t bode well for the long term.
- As the two-star reviewer has noted, cost savings are probably exaggerated. A replacement battery at $115 every 4-5 years (or maybe less, I’ll find out) has got to be on par with the fuel, oil and maintenance of a gas mower.
- Doesn’t mulch particularly well. Depends on length of grass, but it tends to bunch it up in unsightly rows. But then, so have most gas mowers I’ve used.
- It’s probably not as powerful as most gas mowers. It will slow down in dense, tall grass. Still, it will cut it.
- It has a little narrower swath than a lot of gas mowers.
- Word of caution: in wet grass, make sure you keep the underside channel cleared. If it gets jammed with wet, compressed grass, the battery will drain in minutes. You have to flip the mower on its side and manually scrape it clean every 5-10 minutes in very wet grass. Probably a good idea not to cut wet grass anyway.
- You have to remember to charge the battery up the night before.
And if you don’t recycle the battery at the end of its life, that will probably wipe out all the good you’ve done for the environment.

Overall, I’d recommend the Neuton, it’s convenient, quiet and gets the job done very nicely if you don’t have a huge lawn.
On a side note, I would not recommend the trimmer/edger attachment unless you have long rows of fences. It’s not very versatile and not really more convenient than a regular trimmer.

It’s NOT a gas mower, July 4, 2009
By Robert S. Ljungquist

I’ve used a Neuton 6.3 for two full seasons on my 1/3 acre (more or less) of lawn. It works nearly as well as my old gas mower, only bogging down somewhat when the grass is wet or has grown well past the normal mowing stage. One charge will do it. whether it is “cheaper” than a gas mower remains to be seen. It does have attributes that a gas mower cannot provide at any price, however. It is very quiet (an asset in my community with its rules against outside noise), it requires no maintainance (one less chore to do), it uses “fuel” from home (no carrying gasoline cans in your car), starting is effortless, and it releases no fumes (an asset with my basement garage) Does it have the brute power of a 5 HP gas mower? No, but it has enough to do a good job, and is cleaner, more convenient, and easier to live with than any gas mower. I like it.
