Does this cut wet grass well? I live in Washington State.

Yes, it cuts very well, as long as the grass isn't overgrown. It bogs easily in long grass, even when pushing it slowly. However, it has a very quick and efficient height adjust mechanism, enabling one to make multiple cuts very easily. I love this mower!

It definitely doesn't have the power of a gas mower but it might do alright if the grass is not allowed to get too long. The idea is to not let the motor get bogged down for long periods. You may have to push it slower. Keeping the underside from building up with clippings would help too.

Yes, it does very well. Make sure if grass is tall you use the highest setting for the wheels, then next time drop it down a little lower.

The grass in Nebraska is usually very dry as the summer moves toward fall, but this year, my second with the Earthwise, has been very rainy. I have found that the Earthwise does not cut the wet grass very well. I have been frustrated with this, even when the blade is set fairly low. Having lived in both Portland and Walla Walla, a blanket statement cannot be made about grass conditions in Washington State. I assume you live on the west side of the mountains, and as such, I might be a wee bit cautious in purchasing the Earthwise, unless you can mow well after the dew is gone and the grass is dry.

I also live in Washington State. It does okay on wet grass. It clogs up the opening leading to the bag and you have to clear it often to do a good job.

I live in the desert in AZ and use this mower to cut weeds not lawn. It is used two or three times during the Summer season and with the cost of air conditioning during this time of the year, the cost of using the mower are indistinguishable. All I can said is that it is cheaper than paying someone to come in and cut weeds by hand. Thanks

Hi Wendy, I have KY Bluegrass and it cuts it very well (per my review of the mower).

Hmm..., mine cuts pretty low and gives a clean cut. Sounds like urs is on a higher setting. Did u look at how to lower the blade in the manual? My lawn looks like a golf course.

Yes it is. Its very sharp, I used it to cut my grass installment for my front and back yard

It's electric so I wouldn't use it on damp grass at all. I don't think electric mowers are as powerful as gas mowers so even if you mowed damp grass it might not cut that well. I have a tiny front yard. It's lightweight and effective for me. A larger yard would require a gas mower. Or a landscaper.

I have a small lawn planted in zosia grass (about 1,000 sq feet)- this mower works great for me. I really like it. Blade is still good- but not sure what I'm going to do about getting it sharpened at end of the season.

I have my Black & Decker for about 3 years now and I can tell you that it was not designed for wet grass, even the manual will tell you that, on dry grass it does wonders, as far as heavy grass I have mine set up on setting #5 which is the highest, however, my lawn is tall fescue and it cannot be cut too short, and if it gets too heavy most likely you may have to do a double pass or you'll get many pop ups, I mow my lawn once a week and if I keep it to a certain height I don't have any problems the following week.

I used this on tile with an angle grinder for a small number of detail cuts. It cuts through tile very well. I use it on pavers as well. Haven't used this blade in a wet saw though. Good blade for my use.

Yes it does!!!! But I would go slow so you make sure the blade stays on the grass side.

I use mine for 2 acres. It does not do well on very rough terrain. I have a bicycle handle brush cutter with metal blades for the really rough ground. elw

It did a great job on the impeller area of my snowblower. It stops rust and moisture. I did not try it under the mower but I think it could be of benefit and could see no harm in using. Since grass, dirt, sticks, stones, and other debris hits the undercarriage of the mower, I would think you will just have to wait and see. I would never cut my grass when wet and there is always a build up of gunk under the housing that I would remove periodically with a putty knife (engine off and spark plug wire removed).

Yes, I have a quarter of an acre of St.Augustine grass in south Florida and it works fine. Dense patches and wet grass will slow it down but it manages to power through with some effort on your part. The two batteries typically last for the entire job. It is important ro keep the blade sharp over time to ensure you are getting the most out of the battery life.

It actually does cut a 22 inch path. And it does it real well on weeds and tall grass.

I have only used it for a small time, I believe it will do the job, but it will take some practice using the rake to get the most out of it. The field I had a chance to rake was a couple acres , it did a fair job.

If you are cutting weeds on a steep hill, I would not use the Lake Rake. It's extremely sharp and if you aren't careful, you could really hurt yourself. Best bet. Hire out a professional to do it.
