Easy Maneuvering with Self-Propelled Rear-Wheel Drive
If you are seeking the low-maintenance, zero-emission benefits of a cordless mower but don't want to forgo power and mobility, the Epic is the answer. A combination of strength and innovation, the Epic is the first cordless mower with self-propelled rear-wheel drive. This feature allows you to mow on sloping terrain, a great advantage when tackling small or hilly lawns.Hassle-Free, Emission-Free, and Extra Quiet
With the Epic it's simple: just push and go. This cutting-edge mower requires no engine maintenance and absolutely no gas, oil, or cords. So when you decide it's time to mow, you can get right to work without wasting valuable time on upkeep. The hassle-free design also means you can store the mower (even upside down or hanging on the wall) without worrying about spills. To save you time, the Epic also boasts a three-in-one capacity to mow using the side discharge, mulch, or bag. Its handy mulching ability eliminates the need for an additional mulching device. The side-discharge and bag components on the deck allow for efficient waste collection, and the wide 21-inch cut capability speeds up the mowing process. Producing zero emissions and no greenhouse gases, this mower is perfect for anyone who is looking for an easy way to protect the environment. And if you are someone who wants to reduce your carbon footprint as much as possible, you can choose to recharge the Epic with an optional solar panel (sold separately), which makes mowing your lawn absolutely carbon neutral. Plus, the quiet motor helps make lawn maintenance more relaxing while reducing noise pollution in your neighborhood. High-Performance Motor Cuts Long or Wet Grass
The superb Terra Phase High-Performance Motor has a brushless, electric construction, which increases the mower's run-times for maximum efficiency and gives the mower the torque to cut through long, thick, or wet grass. Using this state of the art technology and a durable solid steel deck keeps the Epic performing and looking like new for the long term. Powerful Batteries Let You Tackle Your Lawn in One Charge
An average lot (7,000 to 10,000 square feet) can be cut in just one charge of the Epic's highly efficient batteries. The included batteries only take 12 hours to charge, or they can be charged in four to five hours with the Rapid Charger Station sold separately. Charging can be done on board the mower with the built-in charging plug, or you can remove the batteries and recharge them using the included off-board charging cradle. Also, a built-in LED battery level indicator on the mower keeps you in-the-know about your battery power levels. What's in the Box

Great Electric Mower - Powerful March 19, 2010
Bill M (Madison, MS)
I bought this mower recently. I've used it just a couple of times so far, but I'm very impressed. For a residential user with a typical lot, the performance is just great. - After I got mine, I was puzzled by some of the negative comments I had seen here. Then I realized that they don't have the newest model, which is the one Amazon is selling now on this webpage. - The old model from 2008 was much different. It looked different, had different features, and it performed differently. - The current model has a great well-written owner's manual and performs terrifically. I can't find anything negative to say about it. - - However, I will take very mild issue with others' positive comments in one area. While the mower is considerably less noisy than any gasoline mower, it still generates significant noise - much more than my old Black & Decker corded electric mower, so it's wrong to say it's VERY quiet. - But the self-propelled feature and the cordless feature make this mower a real wonder. - - Some have said that it moves too fast in self-propelled mode. Actually, it is variable speed. You can control the speed by how far you depress the self-propelled control bar. - Easy as pie!
I'm hooked. A great product from a great company - in my humble opinion.
 good lawn mower January 4, 2010

I had this product for several months (got it in July 09) and I am happy with its performance. I have a 1/3 acre lot and if I don't let the grass grow too tall I can do the entire lot with one charge; it's a different story if the grass is neglected for a while and allowed to grow too much. Only trouble I had was the transmission belt that popped out once: it took me 15 minutes to put it back in place, but after that it hasn't happened again. Overall, a very good product if you like electric power and plan ahead.
Far exceeds my expectation October 23, 2009
Boomer Wang (Piscataway, New Jersey)
I have owned this mower since late April 2009. It has never let me down. It makes my life much easier. No more hassles with endless pulling to start the engine, and wondering when I might have a heart attack one day. Just push a button and the engine starts, so easy. Low noise, no exhaust fume. Self-propell works great. Battery lasts long enough for a 50-minute run. I bought two batteries to alternate, so I never have problem finishing my lawn. Comparing with gasoline-powered mowers, its limitation only shows when you try to cut long and wet grass. But that can be avoided with more careful time management. I am willing to put up with such minor limitation, with the trade-off of so much advantages. I am so glad to have this alternative to say goodbye to my gasoline mower. No more hefty annual maintenance fees paid to the local mower shop.

Attila Tozser (Fairfax, VA USA)
Decided to give it a try instead of a regular gas mower. Love the low noise level and the self-propelling feature. The mower is heavy, especially compared to corded mowers - definitely get the self-propelled version. It runs for about 50 mins with one charge - good enough for my 5600 sqft lawn.If not, then either put it back on the charger and finish the job next day, or buy a spare battery set.
Great cordless mower October 6, 2009
EJC (Naperville, IL United States)
Ordered this late August 2009 after my 20 year old gas Airens finally quit. Was worried about battery life but I guess I've been lucky. The charge lasts at least an hour which is plenty to cut my average suburban Chicago lawn. About 1/3 acre. I even go over it twice; which I also had to do with the gas mower to get a clean cut.
Only problem was the battery clips. At first one of the batteries kept coming loose while mowing. Called customer service and they sent new clips (very friendly and helpful). Then noticed that the actual problem was the small clip 'tighteners' had fallen off and were missing. They are small black 'c' clips that provide tension to hold the battery posts snugly. Put them on and all is good. Have only used as a mulcher and it does fine. No more spilling gas and leaking oil. Nice and quiet; would cut lawn on a Sunday now... Highly recommended.
