Also, you should check with Country Home Products on repair shops near
you/your mother. I found that there weren't any places within an hour of me
willing to fix my Neuton earlier this year. I ended up taking it to the guy
who repairs my *regular* John Deere mower, and he fixed it as a favor. The
blade had gotten loose, and it ended up it wasn't tightened up enough at the
factory.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the feedback.

As for the "push" factor, I would say it is very similar to pushing a
baby
stroller... Anybody that can walk should have no problems.
I use the mower for trimming and in the areas my other mower will not
go... maybe 30-40 minutes of use time, so the battery life has not been
an
issue for me. I did not buy the string attachment, I already owned a
cordless Ryobi trimmer/sweeper.
I would also be sure to get the mulching kit. It is just a plug for the
chute and a mulching blade, it does a fine job of mulching and the bag
is
not really necessary.

Would my 73 year old mom be able to handle it? Is it too heavy for
her?
How long does the battery actually last? Should I buy the extra
battery?
Her yard is kind of small so it should be OK. Do you have any
experience
with the weed whacker attachment?

Thanks,
