We recently purchased a battery-operated DR Trimmer Mower for about $600. We used it less than five hours when the moe ball fractured requiring us to replace it. Two were sent for a price of about $60. Robust is not a good word to describe this very expensive mower. When we received our mower, we were shocked at the amount of plastic it was made of. The moe ball is what hits the ground when you are cutting weeds and grass. It too was made of plastic. Each time you hit a small rock, you injure the moe ball. Here in Arkansas, small rocks are everywhere. If this weren't enough, don't count on getting up to 40 minutes of use for a 1.5 hour charge. True, some of the cutting was tough so we excused at first the 15 minutes we got out of the charge. Did it get better. Sadly no. Seems like we need to get used to electric products that don't measure up to the ad. Bummer. I do NOT recommend this product.
