| 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. |

 Just what I was looking for... |

I got my Neuton mower this spring and have used it four or five times. At this point it has performed very well and has lived up to all my expectations. I have a relatively small lawn that covers about 30% of my 1/2 acre lot and I didn't want to deal with the mess and noise of a gas mower. My main concern with the Neuton was if it would hold the charge long enough to finish my lawn... as I said it is relatively small but is spread out on all 4 sides of the house so mowing the whole thing takes a fair amount of time. So far I've noticed no lessening of power even as I get to around 45 min of mowing.
Highlights:
- Easy to set up, only took about 20 min
- No gas or oil to worry about
- Battery is easy to use, just keep it plugged in when not in use. How hard is that?
- Quiet... I heard my phone ringing while I was mowing. I sure wish all my neighbors had one of these...
- Easy to store, fits in my shed standing on its nose
- Simple to use
- Way less expensive than the Black & Decker model I was considering
Lowlights:
- The box it came in was beat up pretty bad and barely holding together. It is a wonder nothing fell out en route.
- The plastic plate on the back that deflects the cut grass down is very easy to dislodge when maneuvering the mower. A minor annoyance. |
I love my Neuton!

| I love my Neuton, and my husband loves it too, because suddenly I'm doing most of the mowing! We partcularly like the trimming and edging attachment because you can just leave it attached to the mower, then swivel it into place when you're ready to edge. And it edges beautifully! We used to use a hand edging tool, and it took at least 5 times as long, plus it was hard work. This is so easy, and so fast. It's a perfectly good mower (unbelievably quiet!), but for me, it's the trimmer/edger that really makes this product different. I was surprised to read the review about the battery charge because we recently left it charging in the garage for three weeks, and the battery was fine. I've used it 3-4 times since with no problems. If you do have trouble, this company (Country Home Products) is worth calling. We have bought a few products from them, and their customer service is top-notch, LL Bean-style, the customer is always right! |
We're eager to help!

| I'm a Customer Service Specialist with Country Home Products, sellers of the Neuton Mower. I'd like to help Mr. Spink with the problems he's reported, but have no record of him in our database. If you read this comment please call our owner hotline toll free at (800) 446-8746 or by e-mail at info@chp.com so I can resolve your problems, including free replacement of your batteries under our warranty. I'd also like to clear up some confusion in your review. First, there is no need to unplug the Neuton battery from the charger within 24 hours, as there is no risk of overcharging. With proper care and charging, we expect batteries to provide service for about 5 years worth of average use. The Neuton uses sealed lead-acid batteries, the same style used in deep-cycle marine applications. Because lead acid batteries are also used in automobiles they are readily recyclable and have a low environmental impact. Nickel Cadmium (or NiCad) batteries can have a significant environmental impact if not recycled properly as Cadmium is a very toxic heavy metal. NiCad batteries also suffer from a problem known as "memory-effect", where the battery will decline in useful life if recharged before being fully discharged. Newer technologies such as Lithium Ion (which have a high power output and are relatively environmentally friendly) are entering the market but at present remain cost-prohibitive for this type of use. If you have any question about your batteries or the performance of your Neuton mower, we're eager to help. We hope to hear from you soon. |
Works Just Fine

have used the mower since purchased in Jan 2006. this replaced my 1978 lawnboy 21". the assembly was straightforward. not having to pay attention to how much gasoline i have in the gas can is a real plus as well as not having to mix 2 cycle oil and gas. i don't smell like a refinery after mowing the lawn and i can now smell the cut grass as i mow, something that i hadn't done since using a push reel mower when i was a kid.
the usual things are true with this electric mower in terms of quiet, easy start, light weight, etc etc. it has taken some getting used to with the narrow width but that's not a problem. my yard has 6 old growth trees which leave alot of debris on the grass which the lawnboy did a great job of vacuuming up when i used the bag. because of a slower cutting blade speed, the neuton isn't able to pick up debris as well. not a show stopper for me just a possible consideration for some people.
i have purposely cut the grass when wet and longer than normal to see what would happen. it did just as well or poorly as any mower would do. if one is looking for a lawn cut that is PGA grade this probably isn't the mower for you, but for 99% of us i think it would be fine.
i have seen a review talking about a failed relay causing the mower to stop running, i have not experienced this problem.
so for me, with my modest expectations of cut quality but big expectations in terms of hassle reduction this has been a worthwhile purchase. |
Great mower

I highly recommend this mower. It cuts and mulches as good and my previous corded Craftsman electric mower and it is much more quiet. I also bought the optional mulching kit (blade and insert) which works well for my yard (northern IL).
The product is well engineered and well made. There is a high quality metal connector for the cable running to the push handle where the on/off switch is located and all the parts seem durable and easy to remove or service. The battery is easy to remove; it can be charged in the mower or separately.
If you want to read more download the manual from the DR Power website: here is the URL: http://www.countryhomeproducts.com/contentpages/CSTM_manuals-cem.aspx
The customer service at DR Power is great. I ordered the mower on Sunday and had it by Thursday with free shipping!

Fine mower for small yards
|
| Review Date: May 13, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Charles Hall, Raleigh, NC USA |
I bought one of these in the last year as a replacement for my dying Sears gas mower. So far I'm very pleased. It works as advertised and is more than adequate for the size area I use it for (areas where the riding mower can't get). As others have said, it runs 45 mins with no slow down. Also cuts tall and thick grass well.
With the battery removed, it's easily picked up or flipped over for cleaning, but with the all plastic body not much grass seems to stick to the underside. It feels light in use. The weed-eater attachment is quite effective, but best used on long relatively straight edges. Very powerful compared to hand-held battery-powered weed eaters.
I was dubious about paying so much for a mower without ever seeing one in person, but it works just as advertised. The low noise level is a real pleasure, as is the reliability. Just remember it cuts a small swath when estimating it's effectiveness in your own yard. |
Outstanding Product

| I bought a Neuton mower in 2003. At that time I had a small yard for which the mower was well-suited. In 2005 I moved to a house with a yard requiring a riding mower. However, I still find the Neuton very useful for places where the riding mower is not suitable. The Neuton is a mower I would highly recommend. It has performed up to and beyond expectations. In 2005 I bought the trimmer/edger attachment and have found it to be superb. I have had no problems with the mower or the attachments. |
