Must you keep the Mower plugged into a power source while mowing? If So How far does it go and how long is the cord?

Yes, it is corded. I do not think they sell extension cords longer than 100 feet in the appropriate wiring gauge for use with this mower (14 AWG).
1682868
Yes, the mower has no internal battery so it must remain connected. You use a separate extension cord so whatever length cord you get determines how far the mower can go.
1682869
yes it must be plugged in and you would use an extension cord. the length of the mower cord is what is shown.

The mower is an electric mower and is required to be plugged in to operate. The length of the cord is up to you, no extension cord is supplied with the mower. I use a 50 foot outside rated electrical extension cord.
1682871
Yes. The cord that comes with the mower is only about 12" long. You must have an outdoor extension cord to use with this mower. And it must stay plugged in to work. It does not have a battery.

Yes, you have to keep it plugged in while mowing. The cord attached to the mower is only 12 inches. You will need an extension cord to use the mower.

The mower does not come with its own electric cord. One has to buy one of the length you need to cover the area you will be mowing. It does have wiring from the handle (where you attach your cord) down to the motor.

I honestly don't know. It arrived mid week & I plugged it in. I didn't go back to it until the weekend. My lawn is small, about 40' x 40'. Then I have a few other places that I mow. It takes about 40 minutes in total & I have not ever come close to depleting the charge. This will be my third season. My wife hates the mower but I think that's just a ploy so she doesn't have to ever do it ..........

Yes, but you don't bury it very deep, just an inch or so. You can run your lawnmower without worrying about the wire.

Yes, you will cut the cord if you mow over it. One way to avoid this is to start mowing from you power source. In other words, begin the job closest to where the mower is plugged in. Also, keep the cord to one side...either your right or left. I have outlets at the front, side, and back of my home but I primarily use the outlet located on the side of the house. I begin the job at this point and work towards the front yard. Afterwards I do the side and back property, all the while keeping the cord to one side. I'll admit, it was a little awkward at first but half way through the job, I got the hang of it. Love this mower. Got it at the end of the season. The yard was full of leaves and the guy who did (repeat, did) my yard had not appeared for about 2 weeks so there was some real growth along with the leaves. The mower did a great job and the only time I will have the yard guy back now is when I don't have time to do the job myself.

I am looking into buying this model as well and am interested in the answer to Erin Leddy's question - can you take out the battery and charge it outside of the mower? I will be storing the mower in a shed with no power, so this is a key consideration for me. Thanks!

Yes, you need an extension cord for this model. There is just a very short cord meant to attach to an extension cord. The user manual (page 4) gives specifications for the type of cord you need, and it varies, based on the length of the cord you need. I suggest waiting until you've examined these specifications before purchasing the extension cord. A correct cord for my purposes was 100 ft in length and cost ~$60 at Home Depot. In my search of corded mowers, there was one that cost significantly more that included a 100 ft cord, but I think most models I looked at required an extension cord.

I have this mower. The motor that runs the blade is a 12 amp electric motor. Most outlets around a house are 15 amps, so there is little chance of blowing a fuse. I also use a 12 gauge extention cord that is 100 feet long and have no problems with getting enough power to the mower. There is no battery in this mower. It is run on electric power.

I am using a heavy gauge wire( 12 gauge ) It is heavy, but it ill supply sufficient electricity to the mower and the motor will not burn out.There are a few manufacturers listed on the Amazon site. I am personally using the cords manufactured by " US Wire and Cable" BUT that is strictly my preference since I am also using those same cords for my snow blower. Hope this helps

The Lawn mower does have a battery and does not require to plug in to start each time. There is a Battery Charger sold with the mower to initially charge the battery (Charge 24 hours - initial charge), and if the battery charge gets low - the battery can be recharged.Brent

Well, of course the cord will get cut if you run over it. And you will cut your foot off if you run over it with the gasoline lawnmower. You have to keep the cord out of the way of the lawnmower. The best way to do this is to work away from the outlet where you have the cord plugged in.

The power cord that come on the blower is about 12 inch, I use a 100 ft extension cord.

Yes you do need an extension cord. Make sure you use an outdoor extension cord. Because of the light weight mower the cord is no problem for me.

I will add that I never set my mowing height lower than half way, as cutting most grasses too short is not good for them. In such a case if you accidentally run the over the cord with the mower it will not get cut (but you should try to avoid this).

I have found that when I mow my lawn with my electric mower I keep the cord in my hand and always work away from the location my cord is plugged into the power source. I never lose sight of my power cord and I plan my mowing so I can move around objects with out having my power cord get in my mowing path. I never try to hurry through my lawn cutting chore and allow for as much time as I believe it will take to complete the job.

Im also on my second battery. I like this mower, its quiet and does a clean mow. Question: Will it help if I totally drain the battery? Or will it just muck it up worse? Thanks.

Yes, the charger plugs into the lawn mower. The battery stays on the mower.
