Has anyone had this for over two years? Has anyone out there had this mower for over two years?

Hey Vienna. I responded to your post in another thread, but I'll summarize it here. I don't own this version, but I own the CMM1000. The predecessor of this one. I've had it for over five years, and replaced the 'non user serviceable' battery at four years for a cost of 70 dollars. This version, the CM1936, has a battery specifically designed to be removed. Which would have made the process easier. I also live somewhere very /very/ hot during the summer (Kyle Texas,) which tends to trash batteries. I do recommend that you follow the manual's suggestions. These may have changed with the updated design: The mower should be on mains power whenever it isn't being used, even during the off season. If the mower shuts off during overheating, let it cool down. Don't repeatedly try to coax it to start up again immediately. Don't operate the mower if the battery indicator is in the red. Deeply discharging batteries, (Even deep discharge batteries,) reduces their lifespan. I bet that they also suggest to avoid living in, say, Texas, but I'm a bit fond of the place. :)

Hello Ms Snier,I am not certain of the warranty length for the mower. Wish I could have been more helpful.

I have had this mower for a little over a year and have not had any problems with the drive. I love it, especially since it starts on first try. Since some buyers have had a problem, there may have been a few bad apples.

I haven't had the issue at all and I've had it for 2 years. by reading reviews I think it was solved in fall 2008.

I think it is two years. Mine is doing great. But if you get it at AMAZON, make sure it has a return policy. The day you get it, run the hell out of it and if it hold up, there should be no problem with it. There are plenty of Mom and Pop law mower repair shops that are authorized Lawn Boy warranty providers.

I have had none. I just blow it clean and brush it off after each use. It is a workhorse. Use it periodically. I have had no issues. I sometimes spray a little oil on the till blades. unit still looks new

I've had the CMM1000 for over five years now, still with original battery. I always mow in the late afternoon or early evening, never let the battery needle get into the red, and keep it plugged-in when not in use. It sits in a shed about 30 feet from my house - I just run a heavy-duty extension cord from an outside plug to the shed. The mower stays plugged-in even during the winter.If you keep it on the charger, and don't abuse it by trying to cut grass that's too tall, it will serve you well for many years. I love this mower!

I never experienced this issues in the 4 years I've owned this mower. That said, a couple of things to consider: The grass cutting height might be set too low and the blade may be coming in contact with the ground at times, especially if you have irregular or hilly terrain; you might be waiting too long to empty the bag and the cuttings are backing up and clogging things up in under side of the mower; make sure there is no dried up grass stuck to the underside of the mower, especially if you used it to cut wet grass; FYI, the blade that comes with the mower is a mulching blade. It can be used for bagging but a blade specifically designed for bagging will be much more efficient. If you switch to a bagging blade, I recommend you pay a little extra and get a Snapper replacement part rather than a generic replacement blade, as it will make the mower bag better. Lastly, you may want to try mulching instead of bagging. I bagged for years and years before trying mulching. Once you try it you won't want to go back to dealing with all those bags and the extra time and effort it takes. Just don't let the grass get too high between cuttings when mulching. A last tip, keep whatever blade you use sharp. I have a half acre lot and get my blade sharpened three times a season. It makes a big difference in keeping your lawn healthy and looting good. Hope there is something here useful to you. Good luck!

I've had it a year and used it from spring to fall. After each use you'll want to clean any grass caked on the blades. That's it because it's a very simple machine. This year I'll need to figure out how to sharpen the blades. Hopefully it won't require dismantling it.

I think 1 yr. I bought one of these mowers for my daughter. Battery ended up being defective. She contacted Ryobi and they were very responsive. Shipped her another battery with no questions.

I have B&D; cordless mower for 7 years. I am happy with it. The battery life could be short. 2 years is what they expect. My first battery last about 2 years. Then, it died. It was changed in service station for a new one. This one has lasted 4 years (5 seasons). But, the running time gets shorter and shorter, then the time is stable and is about 1/2 of the original running time. But, that is good enough for me since I mow front and rear separately. The problem is: now one front wheel got lost. Seems no way to repair. It still mows though. I am thinking to replace it. It might be M&D.; However, I am thinking about Neuton Mower. It seems better but more expensive. I have B&D; cordless mower for 7 years. I am happy with it. The battery life could be short. 2 years is what they expect. My first battery last about 2 years.

Yup, 2 years. Email them if you have a problem. The customer service is great.

Well if it is over a year old and has been used weekly, it is at it's maximum life span. Mine lasted 1 1/2 years of light use and it quit. To my best recollection, the instruction manual said the motor is only good for 50 hours or so. Of course, nobody reads that fine print until they have problems. I stand by my rating of this blower as horrible. My first one only lasted 2 weeks and Lowes replaced it for free. Just not a good buy unless you're happy replacing it yearly for that price...

I've had this vacuum for almost two years and I've never had any problems. I was impressed with it from day one and it still works great. I do clean the filters regularly, which is very easy to do.
