Put away your noisy, gas-powered hand-held trimmer and discover the easier way to trim and edge your entire property. Unlike hand-held trimmers you have to carry, the NEUTON Cordless Electric Trimmer rolls easily along the ground on two 10" wheels. This eliminates all the strain on your arms, neck and shoulders, and makes trimming a joy, not torture. Starting the NEUTON Trimmer is just as easy as using it. With a gentle squeeze of the handlebar the machine springs to life, using a rechargeable battery that provides up to 1 hour of quiet trimming. At 35 lbs., the lightweight NEUTON Cordless Electric Trimmer is remarkably easy to maneuver, gliding up hills and over bumpy terrain to trim precisely around trees, shrubs, lamp posts, and all the hard-to-reach spots in your yard. It's an edger, too! With a simple twist, the NEUTON's trimmer head pivots to a 45 or 90 degree angle, so the nylon cords cut vertically, for edging right down to ground level. It is the perfect way to cut a clean edge along walks, drives, and planting beds. With a NEUTON Trimmer, your yard work will become easy, a pleasure...and never again a chore. Features: Arrives fully assembled. Easy to store on a shelf or in a closet. Includes three cord spools and battery charger.

Summary:
I bought my C5 mower through a special offer from our electric utility at $[...] delivered. In my opinion it is it is almost worth that amount, but at $[...] it is way overpriced for what it can do. If you want to do anything more than cut grass slowly, go with a gas mower.
Pros:
Light, no gasoline or oil, minimal maintenance, easy start, quiet, well constructed.
Cons:
Poorly designed handle, cut is only fair, mulches poorly, mediocre bagging, bag is small, narrow cut, overpriced, poor battery life.
The Bottom Line:
Buy it if you have small clean yard and the price is less than $[...]. It will work. Do not get the trimmer, a separate one is much more versatile.
Tips:
The battery is pricey from DR [..]. You can find UB12100 batteries online that will end up costing about half what your pay from DR. You need two UB12100 batteries and a #15 torx driver to change out the batteries in the case that comes with the mower (I do not know for sure but I would guess that the C6 takes 3 batteries). The savings is about [..].
This mower cuts grass and that is about all. It does cut St. Augustine grass, but with no particular distinction. It does not cut as well as a good gas mower but it will compete with an average mower to merely cut grass. It does not mulch well and leaves fairly large pieces of leaves and noticeable grass clippings. If the yard is leaf free, after using the mulch attachment it looks OK. It does not bag the leaves very well and there remains a significant amount of residue. The wheels are not offset enough and the plastic body rather thick preventing close mowing against fences and walls. The hand grip is poorly designed and requires a healthy grip and good size hands to keep the mower from constantly turning motor on and off increasing the battery drain significantly.
It is light and easy to maneuver even on a slope or over curbs. Since it is electric there are no gas cans, carburetor, no oil changes, no smell in the garage and no problem starting it. It is blessedly quiet. For those features alone it may be worthwhile. However, on the downside if it needs a new battery every year at $[...] from DR, you have to weigh the cost of that silence.

I have had a Neuton for many years (6 or 7?). I have the small, red model. Believe me, this little mower has taken a beating from my "yard" (think clumps of weeds) and I think I finally killed it this year - but it may just need a new battery; I'm still using the original battery that came with it. By the way, the battery charges faster out of the mower.
This is a great product, and their customer service is fabulous.
When I first started using it, people would come over, as I was mowing, to see what I was doing. Because they couldn't hear anything (over the normal neighborhood noise), I guess they thought I was pushing a toy mower around for fun :-} And I don't mind the narrow cutting width, this is my exercise. It's good for me to walk the yard.
I keep hoping my neighbors will take the hint and buy one, but unfortunately most of them live by "if it makes a lot of noise, it must be doing a better job".
And, about wet grass sticking to the underside, someone told me to use a silicone spray on the underside. I don't have any more grass sticking to the underside than when I had a gas mower. Wet grass sticks to anything! I use a dish brush to clean the underside.
I found that about halfway through the summer, it's a good idea to take the top off the mower (maybe you can't do this on the newer ones?) and clean out all the dried bits that seem to collect around the motor, wires and circuit board. After loosening clumpy debris with a stick, I turn it on its side (take the battery out first and it's lighter) and get as much out as I can. If any is left, I use a small hand vacuum. Just enough power to get stuff out, but not damage anything. You'd be surprised how much lighter the mower is without all that in there.
A couple years back I had a problem with a wiring connection to the circuitboard, so I just hardwired the motor to an on/off switch on the handle and that solved the problem. I always found it awkward holding the safety handle anyway.
By the way, I fold it up and store it vertically, in a corner, in my laundry room, in the winter. Couldn't do that with a gas mower.
Can you tell I love this mower?
June 30: I bought a new battery and the mower is working as hard as it ever did!
By Mike Opinion (Sacramento)
I've had my Neuton for a full season now, and I definitely have a love-hate relationship with it. I purchased it via the local utility's gas trade-in for a very good price. First the pros:
It's light and easily manueverable. I have a few hills to get up, and this mower makes it easy.
It's very quite; I really think the world could use a little less machine noise, and this is the quietest power mower.
I've had no problem with enough battery power; I mow about 2000 sq ft without any sign of power loss.
No cord; I hate cords. Unroll, roll, unroll, roll. They catch on everything.
No gas motor, no gas emissions; very important to me in this day and age.
The Cons:
Very narrow cutting path. I bet I don't get more than 8" cut at a time. And the cutting area does not extend to outside the wheels, making it difficult to see where to line up the next swath.
Because the blade is so short, the cutting area on the blade is very small, which adds to the need to go over the same area multiple times.
The mower misses a lot of grass. I always end up with single long blades of grass sticking up everywhere. Given that I probably mow every square inch 3 times, it's very frustrating.
Bottom line, I wouldn't buy this mower again, even at the low price paid. Even though I probably still save time over my corded mower since I don't deal with the cord, it doesn't do an adequate job.

I bought the DR battery powered lawn mower seven years ago. I love everything about it except one thing. For the THIRD time I have to buy a new battery!! I have a very small yard and we had a terrible drought this year so I have only used the mower 3 times this summer. Yet the battery I bought last summer is dead already... For a $90.00 battery I do not feel like I got my moneys worth. Great mower, bad battery...

I bought the Neuton 6.2 earlier this summer to replace a hard to start, rough running, noisy gas mower. Their offer of 6 months free trial, and free extended warranty was too good to pass up. Well, I won't be returning the mower. The more I use it, the more I like it.
I did have a problem with the wheels and hubs when it first arrived, but they sent me out a replacement wheel kit right away. Looks like some of the wheels were made too narrow which caused the axel to pop off the plastic hub. No problems since I put on the new wheels. Also got a letter from them warning of a possible overheating problem at the safety key. I've not had that problem, but the key worked loose once causing the volt meter to fluctuate. Reset the key and was off again. Only happened once so far.
I timed my mowing time with the gas mower before it arrived and it takes slightly less than 1 hour to cut my grass. I fully expected to drain the battery when mowing the full yard, but so far, it has yet to even dip below the green. I was going to buy a second battery, but I don't think I'll need it. I also have a narrow section outside my fenced yard where I tend to let the grass grow high. Decided to try the mower on it and was amazed. It went through that tall grass (8"-16") without a hitch. Not sure my gas mower would have done as well.
There are some areas that need improvement though.
I find the grass bad steel frame to be too flimsy. As it loads up with grass, it sags and can drag on the grass as you back up or turn. I seem to have solved that problem for now by bending the frame slightly so that it rides higher at the back. I use it at its highest setting though, so it may still be a problem if the blade is set lower.
Also wish that the blade was set closer to the front. I know it was designed like this to allow space for the 4-wheel height adjuster (works great), but you have to maneuver the side of the mower against an object to get a close cut.
And speaking of height, I use the highest setting. In hot dry conditions, I like to keep the grass high to hold more moisture. I would like to cut it a little lower, but the next setting down it much too low. An infinite type adjuster would be great. It would allow for any height to be set.
That's all the negatives though. It's a great little mower and I expect it to last many years. Some of the other reviewers that had problems with short battery life are probably having a different problem than a battery problem. I wonder if they called Neuton? I have found the customer service to be outstanding.
