BEFORE YOU BUY A POWERSMART 26” BATTERY POWERED LAWN MOWER, WATCH THIS!

Here is a LINK to the 26” LAWN MOWER used in this video. Thank you for supporting the channel! 👍 amzn.to/3pHT0gA

[@inezojeda89]

When the battery surpasses the time of a gas mower, I'll buy it, but until that improvement, I won't buy it. The pricing is too high for the amount of use time you actually get to now your lawn.

[@GarageGear]

@@inezojeda89 I agree

[@smallblock412]

Larger cut mowers for larger lawns but still poor battery life. Add the Fisher- Price design elements and it's an easy No 👎

[@GarageGear]

Lot of truth in this statement, Smallblock! What’s up for the weekend?

If I show it to my daughter, she will scream out loud because now can "play" with me in the yard😂

The Greenworks 25" 82v Commercial mower with 2 Batteries has plenty of battery life with great cut quality. The 60v residential version leaves those sucky mohawks, the commercial version doesnt

[@GarageGear]

Thanks for the tips!

[@garydunnjr8176]

Battery mowers are not meant for long grass. Would be interested to see how it would hold up in a normal length. I know my electric mower preforms bad when the grass is long but if the grass is kept up the battery lasts.

[@GarageGear]

Thanks for sharing the tips, Gary! What’s going on this weekend on the other side of Transit?

Great review. I'm looking at the Ego LM2150SP Cordless Lawn Mower and stumbled across this one. I liked the 26 inch platform, but it seemed to underperform in just about every category and I know that based on your very thorough review of the mower.

[@GarageGear]

Thanks Renee! This mower had its fair share of headches!

[@danlah1303]

When rev2 comes out, I might be ready to ditch my Toro TimeWaster. I bet some more time can be reclaimed by lighter mower that is easier to maneuver than the TimeWaster (I live on a slope).

[@GarageGear]

I would agree! Thanks for watching Dan

[@1jantheman1]

Always enjoy your reviews. One thing I always do on a new mower is make sue the blade/blades are on tight. With all the flaws this mower had out of the box I think it takes allot of faith to believe the blades are on tight. Thanks JB.

[@GarageGear]

Thanks for your feedback! You got it my friend

[@tedhardulak7698]

Also to check the balance of them. I bought a new Cub Cadet 30in Rider and had all kinds of vibration problems even the dealership did not find till I checked the blade. Way Off.

[@marshmower]

If i used that in the front yard the traffic would drive in the ditches. 😂😂

[@GarageGear]

Lol it’s entertaining to be seen mowing with it ! Thanks for watching marsh

[@broderp]

My very first impression was ...this is CHEAP looking. It seems like its all plastic and generally flimsey all over. The plastic locking mechanisms used also look like they will not last. Electrical operation of the wheel is flawed and a deal killer if the $700 price for this doesnt scare you. Any time savings because of the 26" deck are negated by the time wasted starting and stopping for every turn.

[@GarageGear]

Yeah, all good points my friend. Thanks for watching.

[@chrisadrian5404]

Until our benevolent government overlords dictate that I must buy a battery operated mower or face jail time, I will stick with gas.

[@BigDaddysGarage]

[@mikeb1039]

26" electric? WTF? No way that works well. All those dropped clippings = slow blade speed = not enough power...... There's a reason ALL the other E mowers use very light and single blades. (or tiny little razor blades) WIder wheels lay more grass down before the cut. Powersmart? First time i've heard that of that Brand.

[@GarageGear]

There needs to be some changes for it work efficiently. Thanks for watching!

[@davidroberts6594]

I have a 7 year old 21" 56v poulan pro mower push only, and this 26" cuts similar but it has way more power- I would need 2 5ah batteries to barely do what this 26" did, plus no way can mine handle thick grass this tall- even with it blowing out the side shute. I am impressed with the power of this thing. Dealbreaker for me is the horrible drive power control that won't shut off without killing the cutting motor.

[@mplslawnguy3389]

Literally looks like a child’s toy. Plastic degrades and cracks, metal lasts for a long long time if kept clean and dry. I’ll stick with my old fashioned gas Honda.

[@GarageGear]

Smart to do so. Save the money. Thanks for watching!

[@marshmower]

Im waiting for someone to be the very first to convert a battery powered one to gasoline or something way different. Could even be a comedy with a hamster on a wheel. Anything for variety.

[@GarageGear]

That’s actually a pretty funny idea lol!

[@jeffselchow5719]

And just like that, I will NOT get an electric mower.

[@GarageGear]

I’ll be keeping my gas mowers for a while! Lol

[@anthonyelectric6045]

Good review but too many issues with that model to say the least. Now off to gas up and cut my lawn. Always enjoy your videos 👍

[@GarageGear]

Appreciate you, Anthony! Have fun with the mow!

[@waynestefinashen239]

JB are the blade adaptors on this mower plastic or metal? If plastic what happens when you hit a root or property stake?

[@GarageGear]

Hey Wayne! They are definitely plastic! I forgot to mention this. You’re right you hit something hard and your blade done! Thanks for watching another my friend. Hope all is well up north!

[@waynestefinashen239]

@@GarageGear Could you get in touch with Powersmart and get the cost of a new blade and blade adaptor for us viewers would be interesting and also availability.

Dude bag the grass! Duh Also, if you want a larger cut take a look at the new Greenworks 80v 25" mower. Doesn't appear to have the design issues of this mower.

[@Lacharib]

So much cheap plastic! I understand the plastic as it is less weight and will help with run time, but they could at least use a better quality plastic.

[@GarageGear]

Agreed! Or some metal in important places. Thanks for watching billy!

[@js12278]

I’m sorry I gotta chuckle. As soon as you cut that box, you notice all the damage. ALWAYS happens just like that.😂😂 A guy of your prestige will likely get sent the replacement parts immediately😉🍺

[@tedhardulak7698]

Good review on this Mower. It seems like most everything is getting cheaper and put together without great care. I can see why battery would run low having to start and stop all the time. Does this have 2 Motors? I just did the front steering on my 2 yr old 30 in Cub Cadet riding mower, from my research this is a standard factory thing. It was easty to do, I just dont trust the Dealer from a past experience. And the thing Vibrated a lot. Turned out to be a bad factory blade.The Dealer could not find it. Besides other stuff. Thanks for teaching about these new products.

[@GarageGear]

Thanks for the positive feedback Ted! And thanks for sharing!👍

[@dlukac]

A 26” battery fills a nice niche for many homeowners. Hopefully they have some improvements in mind because the size could be a hit.

[@GarageGear]

Very true. Hopefully they make adjustments in time. Thanks for watching.

[@lopincol]

@@GarageGear Would be interesting to try it out against the new Toro timemaster 60v mower

[@GarageGear]

@@lopincol that would be an interesting comparison. My big question is though why would toro put only a 60v motor on that wide deck. That’s the same size as their 21” model. That’s too small in my opinion. I’m willing to bet that toro only runs for about 30 minutes or less.

[@a.a.carpenter754]

It seems like all the Powersmart equipment you review is broken, flimsy, or junk.

I don’t know what to tell you, it’s the way it comes out of the box. Thanks for watching.

[@jlbfd9389]

Great information JB. Appreciate the review. I get the sustainability thing, based on what I’m seeing, most of these mowers are going to end up in the landfill in 5 years or less.

Great honest review as always JB! I guess the idea behind the larger size is to cut more grass but if run time is about 50 minutes not sure this will cut it....haha. That's with the battery new. Disappointing with the parts broken out of the box. Is the deck plastic or metal? For a 5000 square foot lawn not sure if you'd need the bigger size. What's up for the weekend? Got the pool opened yet? Cheers my friend!

[@GarageGear]

Thanks for the feedback, Jay! Deck is metal. Everything else is plastic on that machine. Imagine what the battery will be like 3 years down the road. Just hanging around the house. Pool was opened on Thursday, and surprisingly wasn’t too bad. What’s going on with you? Enjoy the day!
