Given that we are all about electric lawn mowers, when we checked out the Earthwise electric lawn mower, low & behold, our excitement grew. This is the Earthwise 50220 corded electric lawn mower. You are about to learn whether you should put some money down on this mower or not, so, we hate wasting time. Let’s dive in:
Earthwise Electric Lawn Mower 50220 PARTS
There is a V handle on this mower that is padded for comfort and for a better grip. It makes it easier to hold the handle with your hands closer together in an upward angle instead of flat, if that is what you like. The deck is very durable steel and is 20″.
The wheels are 7” in the front and 9.5” in the rear for easy maneuverability. There are also height adjustments from 1.5”-4”, depending on how high you like your grass. It’s very easy to adjust with a single lever that sits on top of one of the back wheels.
This is a 3-in-1 electric lawn mower, meaning it mulches, bags your grass, or you can let it discharge off to the side. Most people love to mulch because there is no extra work after or in between mowing and they will have a healthier, better looking lawn afterward. For those who don’t know, when your mower mulches, it leaves tiny bits of grass behind on the soil in your yard. It fertilizes the soil, helps retain moisture, helps to fight off weeds, among other healthy things.
What Kind of POWER Is Behind This Earthwise Electric Lawn Mower?
The Earthwise 50220 is corded, so you will have to buy an extension cord if you don’t already have one that will work. You can buy 50 foot or 100 foot cords, depending on the size of your yard. You must make sure it can power this 12 Amp mower, and it should say what power it is right on the cord package you buy.
There is no battery, but some people really do prefer that, as they don’t like having to change the battery or keep charging it. With the corded model mowers, you can just keep going for however long you need to. The only drawback is if you haven’t developed a strategy for dragging the cord along when mowing, it could become bothersome. But once you know what to do with it, you are good to go.
Earthwise 50220 STORAGE
The handle folds down for easy, space saving storage. The Earthwise 50220 weighs 62 pounds, one of the heavier electric mowers, so that might be something to consider if you have to carry it into storage by yourself. If you need to leave it outside, there are covers you can buy for it separately, since the mower is made of steel and won’t do well in bad weather. If it doesn’t rain much where you live, you can always look at models that are all plastic so you can leave it outside most of the time. If you need to take it into storage, it will be much lighter to carry… just some things to consider.
WARRANTY
There is a 2 year warranty on this mower for residential use. There is no warranty at all for commercial/professional use. Some other mowers do have warranties for commercial use, but are more limited than residential use.
SHIPPING:
