Earthwise 50520 PARTS
The handle of the Earthwise 50520 is padded for comfort and a easier grip, with the safety bar running across the front of the handle. All you have to do is hold down the bar along with the handle and push the button to start the mower. It is nowhere near the amount of work it takes to run and maintain a gas mower.
Assembly is very easy and basically just involves snapping the handle into place and tightening the knobs on the side. The deck of the mower is steel, so if you are cutting damp grass, you may want to make sure you dry it when you are done mowing. Steel decks are more durable but can rust if not properly maintained and are a lot heavier than plastic mowers.
The Earthwise 50520 is a 3-in-1 mower, meaning that you can mulch, bag the grass, or just let it shoot out of the side to rake it afterward. Most people love to mulch, as it fertilizes their lawn and there’s no extra work involved, like emptying a bag along the way or raking. If you want to use one main feature, simply disable the others.
The rear tires are 9.5 inches, and the front are 7 inches for easy maneuverability. There is a single lever to adjust the height of the mower that will cut the grass from 1.5 inches to 4 inches.
Earthwise 50520 Electric LawnMower POWER
The Earthwise 50520 is a corded, 12-amp electric lawn mower, so you will need to buy an extension cord with at least that much power if you don’t already have one. If you are not used to using a corded mower, the cord may get in the way at first.
However, once you develop a pattern to mow with where the cord won’t get in the way, it won’t even be an issue. If you have a large yard, you can also buy a cord reel to wind up the cord after mowing for an easier clean up.
Some people prefer the corded mowers over the cordless ones simply because they can mow as long as they need to without a battery dying, and they don’t have to buy new ones or maintain them over the winter. Others like cordless mowers because you aren’t limited by the length of a cord, and you might be able to use the battery for other cordless yard tools when you aren’t mowing. So, they both have their advantages, it just depends on what works best for you.
Earthwise 50520 STORAGE Space Needed
The handle of this mower folds down for easy, space saving storage. It is heavier because of the steel deck, so you may need help if you need to carry it into storage, depending on your situation. If you live in a dry climate, you can probably leave it outside, but you may still want to get a cover for it.
