We bought this mower a few years ago to mow a very steep hill, too dangerous for a heavy gas mower. We re-landscaped the hill without grass, so no longer need this light-weight mower. It works great, easy to use, doesn't require a lot of energy to push. Will work well for a small yard. Grass catcher is removable if you want to mulch the grass or leaves. Comes with a second battery. If we had room, we would keep it ourselves.
