First, my co-workers were skeptical about an electric mower, but I've had the experience in the past.

Here are some of the benefits:
- you can look under your mower by flipping it over and not worry about gaz or oil leaks.
- grass is cut from end to end of a yard easier with the flip handle than those that don't. (that should include all gaz mowers) Instead of closing in on the middle of your lawn, you start on one end and finish at the other end. (I like it)
- this mower doesn't retain anything underneath. I didn't know that some mowers would do that. From my previous experiences, you had to clean up the mower every couple of use.
- height adjustment is super simple.
- electronic brake. If you release the power (bar!), the blade stops in a micro second. This is great for safety.
- no smells of any sort (except first few minutes being a new electrical product)

I wouldn't trade it, and my yard is not small.

What I love about this mower:
1. I can stand up straight when I use it. I'm 6'2", and many power tools seem to be designed for someone shorter -- I always have to bend over when using them: e.g., my rototiller and string trimmer. Not the Lawn Hog -- the handle is adjustable so that even someone as tall as me can walk straight while operating it.
2. It's quiet.
3. It's electric -- no more exhaust fumes.
4. Last, but not least -- the quality of the cut is superb! Very even, the grass looks the best it ever has. The wheel marks left by the mower are minimal, and usually disappear completely withing a day or two, because the Lawn Hog is so lightweight.

I have a big yard, and prior to purchasing this mower I owned a good quality lawn tractor. My yard is hilly, and in places the lawn tractor was very difficult to use -- the front wheels would slide, I would have to back up, change my angle, try again... it was very frustrating. The lawn tractor had a 32" cutting swath.

The Lawn Hog, even with only an 18" cutting swath, is a vast improvement.

The flip-handle works perfectly, and is very easy to use. It makes dealing with electric extension cords a breeze. I bought 2 100' 12 gauge extension cords due to the size of my yard. 12 gauge costs a little more than 14 gauge, but it will result in longer electric motor life, so it's worth it.

The key points about using this mower are as follows:
1. Keep the cutting blade sharp. I sharpen it after every three or four uses.
2. Don't try to cut off too much grass! Expert lawn caretakers will all tell you not to cut off more than the top third of the grass. If you want to end up with a lawn that's 2 inches tall, you'll have to cut it when it's no longer than 3 inches. As long as you stick to this rule of thumb, the Lawn Hog works great! If your grass is taller and you want it shorter, start by cutting off the top third, then mow again a few days later, and work your way down to the desired final length. The Lawn Hog will work effectively, and your grass will love you for it.
3. Don't try to cut wet grass! All mowers bog down when cutting wet grass. Mulching mowers have an even more difficult time. If you must cut the grass when it's wet, don't try to mulch it -- open the discharge chute.

This mower is quiet, relatively light, and a great value. If you've been thinking about going electric, this could be the one.

A removable safety key prevents accidental startups.

The mower's deck offers a cutting width of 19 inches. This durable polymer deck is easy to clean, won't ever rust, and is backed by a lifetime warranty. The mower also offers you the choice of using the mulching plate to lay cuttings back on your lawn as free, chemical-free fertilizer, or of using a rear bag with a large 1.5-bu capacity to collect clippings.

You can select a mowing height from 1.5 to 3.5 inches to account for a variety conditions. One-touch height adjustment lets you adjust all four wheels with the pull of a single lever. And when it's time to put the mower away, the handle folds to create a more compact footprint, allowing for storage in tight spaces.

The Alligator Lopper's wide 4-inch jaw capacity easily chews through small trunks and logs.

Because the Alligator Lopper cuts side-to-side instead of up and down, the chain won't bury itself in the ground when the cut is completed -- saving wear and tear on the cutting surface.

The Alligator Lopper's controlled, smooth cutting action makes clean-up from storms or simple pruning easy, safe, and fast.

The Alligator Lopper Makes Cutting a Breeze
Take a big bite out of fallen trees, tree limbs and brush with the Alligator Lopper -- a revolutionary cutting tool that provides chainsaw-like cutting performance in an un-intimidating tool. With its scissor-like action, the Alligator Lopper’s rugged metal jaws clamp onto logs, thick branches, tree limbs, and vines -- and then saw right through them. Once limbs and branches are on the ground, the Alligator Lopper is perfect for chopping them up into manageable pieces to throw away or chuck into your fireplace.

This amazing saw boasts a rugged 4.5 amp motor for fast, powerful chomping through wood -- plus a heavy-duty cutting bar and chain to really chew through dense branches and logs. This model also features auto chain tensioning to keep the tool in top cutting form. Just loosen the bar retainer bolts with the included wrench and the bar automatically takes out the slack and adjusts the chain’s tension perfectly.

The Alligator Lopper’s jaws offer the ultimate in controlled cutting. The rugged metal guards that cover the jaws protect you from the cutting chain, and they immediately snap back over the blades once the cut is complete. The Alligator Lopper’s jaws also mean that there's no skipping around at the start of a cut. Unlike traditional chainsaws, the lopper cuts side-to-side instead of from top to bottom. This sideways cutting action prevents the cutting chain from burying itself in the dirt as the chain completes its cut.

The Alligator Lopper also makes it much faster and easier to cut logs, because you'll never need to prop them up on saw horses or on other any other brace. Just grab the logs in the Alligator Lopper’s jaws and cut right through them.

Key Technical Specs:

• Power: 4.5 amps
• Bar length: 6 inches
• Jaw capacity: 4 inches

Applications
The Alligator Lopper is ideal for tree pruning, clearing brush, storm clean-up, cutting firewood and more, and it’s a great alternative to chainsaws, manual loppers, handsaws and clippers.
