Remington Cordless Lawnmower
by rd @ 9:03 am 6 comments »
Studies show that running a gasoline-powered lawn mower for an hour can produce about the same pollution as driving a car 100 miles. Well, Remington, an outfit best known for its electric shavers, has now come out with the Remington Cordless PowerMower, a rechargeable electric lawn mower that runs for about an hour on a charge, with no emissions.
some features:
- cordless operation
- removable 60 Volt Battery
- up to 1 Hour of runtime on a charge
- 17” cutting blade diameter
- plug-in mode power approximates gas mower power
- lighter in weight than comparable battery mowers
- no need for an external charging adapter
Just don’t use this baby on that beard.
$499 @ amazon.com

You can see the company website for this at http://www.remingtonpowertools.com. I’ve seen the early production models and it’s a nice design. It cuts well, too.
Now if we can just convince them to make a larger version that fits two adults and a posse of pets…I’d buy one and take my family on road trips!
Called Remingtons customer service 800 number and asked these questions; Where are the lawn mowers made? Where would I take it to get serviced? Where would I buy parts for it?
The gal could not answer any of these questions and did not say she would find out and call me back later. She is just an order taker at and order taking business.
When she could not answer my questions, she still asked me if I wanted to order the lawn mower.
The Remington web site says Ace Hardware sales them. My local Ace Hardware did not know anything about the Remington lawn mower. When he did look it up he found out you could order from Ace Hardware.
He did say the only why his store would have one is if someone ordered it.
You can get extra parts fot it after warranty at http://www.peoplepoweredmachines.com and you can also buy them at McClendon’s Hardware, they don’t have them at Home Depot or Lowe’s unfortunately, but you can also order it online at Amazon and get free shipping. All you have to do is spend like five minutes searching online and you can find all of the information you could ever need, including reviews for this product (which are all stellar and it seems to be the only cordless or corded mower that delivers the same quality in cutting as a gas powered). Happy Green Mowing!
Sara - I’m reading reviews trying to find the best cordless electric mower. I really want to like the Remington mainly because of the light weight, changeable battery and corded option. But I have only found 1 good review. Where are the sites with the good reviews that you have found?
Up to an hour hmmmm…. Try 22 minutes.
