The powerful 24-volt battery system delivers consistent performance and eliminates tricky pull-starts and noisy operation, so you can have all the performance of a gas-powered motor without any of the hassles. And not only is this mower powerful, but it's also a zero-emissions tool, so you can get the job done while protecting the environment.Designed to Save You Time and Effort over the Long Term
The wide 20-inch cutting path and heavy-duty steel mower deck ensure efficient, long-lasting performance. With wide 20-inch coverage, your lawn will require fewer passes, which will save you both time and effort. Navigating tough, uneven terrain is made easy by the composite seven-inch front wheels and oversized 9-1/2 inch rear wheels, which have ball bearings for better maneuverability and longer life. And the V-handle with cushion grip offers greater control over tough terrain and provides comfort. A nice bonus, the handle folds down so you can easily store the mower. Single-lever Height Control for Easier Adjustments
Instead of having to adjust each wheel when changing the height of the mower blade, the Earthwise 60120 Cordless Electric Mower features a single-lever height control system that makes it easier than ever to adjust the height of the cut. You can choose between seven height positions, ranging from 1-1/2 to four inches. The single-lever height control is just one feature that makes the 60120 so easy to use. Other ease-of-use features include the handle-mounted safety-blade control, the easy on/off mulch plug, and the lift handle lock that releases the battery from its compartment. In addition, this mower assembles with no tools required--simply hand-tighten several components and you're ready to go! Innovative 3-in-1 Design for Added Versatility
Outperforming other mowers, the Earthwise 60120 Cordless Electric Lawnmower is three mowers in one, functioning as a mulching mower, a side discharge mower, and a rear bag mower. As your lawn changes throughout the spring, summer, and fall, the 60120 will adapt to the changing seasons as well. You can mulch your grass in the spring to help thicken the lawn, or you can use the bag to clear leaves and debris in the fall--the choice is yours! The Earthwise 60120 weighs 92 pounds and is backed by a two-year limited warranty from the manufacturer. What's in the Box

 Best mower ever September 8, 2010
Too many books, not enough time
Not only is this the best rechargeable electric mower I've ever used, it is the best mower of any kind I've ever used.
It is quiet and starts the first time, every time, unlike gas mowers.
It is easy to push.
The mulching feature works well- I've never used the bag, so I can't comment on it.
It is well designed and made, with some exceptions.
The deck and handle are sturdy steel.
The single-touch height adjustment works well.
One of the few negatives- the "throttle" is plastic, and feels flimsy. However, I've had no trouble with it.
Now for the important part- the power.
It works as well as any 3.5HP gas mower I've used.
I've cut 2 foot high clumps of grass with it. I had to slow down, but it went right through them without stalling or bogging.
For me, the amazing thing is the battery life.
The first time I used it with a full charge, it mowed through everything I wanted to mow, including the 2' clumps I mentioned, in 15 minutes.
It still showed a full charge!
So I mowed for another 15 minutes.
Still showing full charge.
I mowed more- a path 6' wide by 300' or so, for another 15 minutes before it started slowing down.
45 minutes of HARD work (I don't mow often) on a charge!
Of course, I'm sure that this will decline as the battery ages.
The biggest negative I've found is the charger.
It isn't automatic, so it must be disconnected when it indicates that the battery is fully charged.
The battery must be charged once a month or so, or it will deteriorate.
All of this calls for more attention than it should.
But overall, I don't think I could much happier with my purchase.
It makes me hate mowing a lot less...
 Earthwise Not Very Wise At All! August 28, 2010
Dennis A. Pratt (Los Angeles, California)
Was initially impressed with this lawnmower. First three times I used it, everything went great. Cut the grass reasonably well, and the battery re-charged as advertised. Not anymore. Battery will not re-charge, and EarthWise Customer support doesn't particularly care. Called them, told them the problem I had and they promised to send me an invoice or something so that I could take it to a repair shop as it was still under warranty. Three weeks later, no invoice. Getting through to customer support is a bear. They do everything possible to keep you from actually talking to anyone who will offer any help. Round and round, transferred to this number, then to another number, then back to the first number. Be warned! If you want a reliable product this isn't it. If you want good customer service, they don't have it.

Half Acre on one charge! August 11, 2010
SaintRoch
I bought an Earthwise electric mower in desperation of finding a reasonably priced reasonably intelligent person to do my yard. I have an acre in Louisiana where you can watch the grass grow after a rain (really!!). I love this lawnmower. I have fibromyalgia and have no strength in my wrists/shoulders and could never get a gas mower started. This starts right up, no pulling strings and jerking your shoulders out of place. No oil getting into the gas, no mess..fabulous.
If the grass is very high and thick (as it does get here), this mower will have a bit of struggle going through it and the charge will diminish accordingly but all in all I can do a 1/2 acre on one charge. So I can do my backyard one day and the front/side the next day, recharging overnight. Not a big deal. It is a bit heavy but I can push it without struggling - again not the machine for a yard that's been neglected and overgrown but if you are keeping up with your grass, it will do fine and will be easy and clean to use. Basically I'm quite happy with it. Days of knee-high weeds and/or expensive indiscriminate grass-men (who run over my medicinal herbs!) is over!! That's worth the price right there.
Great so far! August 8, 2010

We researched electric lawnmowers online before deciding to buy the Earthwise cordless. At first we were going to go for the corded model, but we are on a corner lot, with too many trees and flower beds to work around with a cord. I think we made the right decision!
First off, it's early days yet, and we've only used the mower twice but it's been great so far. We've used it in mulching mode, and it seems to do a good job of chopping everything up.
My recommendation to anyone buying one would be to read the instruction manual before you do anything - including taking the mower out of the box! It's easier to take the mower out if you first remove the battery pack, but it's not too obvious how you do that, which is where the manual comes in.
I was concerned that the charger is a a "dumb" charger - so if you leave it connected for a long period, it's possible to damage the battery pack by overcharging it. The charger does have a green LED that comes on to indicate that the battery is fully charged, however, so it seems fine to me.
Out of the box, it took 14 hours of charging before the green LED came on.
I mowed our yards at 06:00 in the morning, in semi-darkness, in order to avoid the LA heat - and the mower is quiet enough that it won't be a problem waking the neighbors. In fact mowing at that time with the LED's on the mower glowing, and the mower sounding like a large hair dryer, it felt quite spacey! No mess, no smell, of course, and it feels good not to be causing air pollution. Bear in mind that doing the yards with one badly adjusted gas mower can put out as much pollution as a regular car driving hundreds of miles!
It took me about 45 minutes to do our yards, and there were still 3 green LED's showing on the mower. The battery then took just 7 hours of charging before the green LED on the charger came on - so it seems to have plenty of capacity for our purposes. Realistically, I think you might get an hour of use between charges, since you wouldn't want to completely discharge the battery pack.
I have no worries about having to charge the battery every month during the Winter - we'll keep the battery pack and charger in the house, and will probably buy a cheap timer to preclude the possibility of us forgetting to disconnect the charger to prevent overcharging.
I'd read some reviews that said a wheel had fallen off - so I pulled off all the plastic hub caps and checked that all the split pins were secure - which they were. I think the obvious cause of a wheel coming off would be a split pin that hadn't been bent over, so maybe it's something worth checking.
Another review claimed that the wheels are attached to a piece of plastic only an eighth of an inch thick. Well that's certainly not the case on our unit - everything is metal, and looks up to the job. The wheels run on stout 1/2" steel stub axles, which are welded to 3/16" steel arms, which in turn are connected by 7/16" steel rods.
The single lever used to change the cutting height works really smoothly.
The mower feels a little bit heavier than the 22" gas mower it replaced, but it rolls better on the ball-bearing wheels than the old gas mower did. It actually weighs 87lbs, of which the battery pack is 32lbs. Fortunately, our yards are pretty flat.
