Is this mower energy efficient as well? For example, did anyone see a (negative) dramatic difference in their Light bill?

Did not notice any difference in elec. bill but have a fairly small yard. It works great & is easy to use.

I am on a Budget Billing program and my payment has just been lowered by $30+ so I guess not.

It is more energy efficient than other electric models since its motor only draws 6.5 amps, while others are often double that. As far as impact on electric bill, it's negligible.

Although I haven't timed it, that's about what I get and I would think that's pretty good. I cut a medium-sized backyard to keep from killing pet turtles with our rotary mower. When it quits, all the lights are out, though. Since they are integrated into the battery, that's probably where the problem is but those things are way expensive. Has this happened more than once?

Unfortunately, I'm not sure. I hard-wired it as I'm using it as a machine light at work.It is an LED, so I would imagine that battery consumption is efficient.

Well worth getting, is the most effective and efficient solar panel/light, I've seen

Yes it is not an electric mower it is a gas mower! It needs both: gas and oil.

I don't really know (I'm a woman!). I do love the mower and it has not seemed to run up the electric bill. Batteries do run down, they are heavy and a pain to replace when you need to move that day and it won't start. I have a medium size yard and sometimes mow the front and back on different days but love the mower, haven't cut the cord once!

I am on my second unit now, but only due to moving. I used the original mower in Texas for two seasons, and it didn't make much sense to pack it in our small U-Haul. I liked it so much I bought another one, but only have one mow on it so far. It's really a great little mower, and I was REALLY tired of maintaining so many internal combustion engines around the house.

Runs cool. I have it in an enclosed landscape light, but it used to have a halogen light in there, like most do. Either way you cut it, it's much cooler than the halogen.

I love my 12 amp mower and put it to the test always! I have over an acre of lawn. There are times when the grass is wet and it loses power, but the same was true of my gas mower.

I have two of these and they are my only source of heat. My light bills has been fairly average or lower compared to when the furnace kicked on all day. Hope this helps

The package says it's energy efficient, full spectrum lasts 5000 hours with lumen output 670, at least the one I got which was A19 frosted 60W

So far we've had no problems with this lawn mower. You might want to check the gas type or air filter.

It is supposed to put out an equivalent amount of light as a 50W incandescent blub, but with much less heat. So it is more efficient. Same light as 50W incandescent bulb using much less power.

I leave mine on all the time for several months during the winter - and I have not noticed any increase in the electric bill. Just to be sure, I just checked past bills, and they have pretty much stayed around the same and very little increase from last year.

Hi Mac. Not that I can tell. I can only assume that is hasn't, or, is costing less. I have not seen a jump in my power bill. The way this Whynter runs compared to the LG I had before tells me it draws less juice. Sorry I can't be more help then that.

Not that I've noticed. I also didn't notice any increase in our electric bill but you mileage may vary.

It takes me about an hour to mow my lawn once a week. I have not noticed a significant increase in electric costs. But at $4 a gallon, gas is getting pretty pricey too. No oil to buy, no filters to clean, no pull cords to pull. And no hazardous storage of gas to worry about. Squeeze handle and go. Mower cuts out because you need to pause to move a toy/branch/small child, squeeze handle and go again.
