ok i went to their website and we have a few thoughts on it:

All of the Power and None of the Gas!
Features a commanding 60 Volt battery for 60 minutes of consistent run time <<THEY SAY THEIR BATTERY IS THE BIGGEST ON THE MARKET, SO THAT IS GOOD. 60 MINUTES SOUNDS LONGER THAN NORMAL FOR AN ELECTRIC MOWER BUT IDK HOW MUCH LONGER U'D HAVE TO ASK MAYBE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD A REGULAR ONE WILL DO 1/3 ACRE.

Remington’s exclusive PowerSelect Technology gives you the ability to run cordless or plug in for extra run time or more power<<THE OPTION TO PLUG IS COOL, BUT UR CORD BETTER BE LONG, HA HA. AND U WILL BECOME EXPERT AT LASSO THROWING IN ORDER TO KEEP IT OUT OF THE WAY OF UR BLADE MAYBE.

Plug in and select Boost mode to achieve all the power you would get out of a gas mower <<USING THIS OPTION IS BOUND TO DECREASE UR 60 MINUTES OF RUN TIME CONSIDERABLY SINCE IT WILL DRAW MORE POWER. THE LACK OF POWER IN REGULAR ELECTRIC MOWERS IS AN ISSUE FOR SOME PEOPLE. IF THE GRASS IS LONG OR WET OR THE BLADES DULL IT WILL MAKE IT WORSE.

It’s Simple - No pull starting, no maintenance and no hassle!
Gas mowers can be difficult to use and a pain to start, with the Remington PowerMower, it starts the first time, every time
Simply insert the key, pull the bale <<I THOUGHT THIS MEANT PULL STARTING BUT MAYBE IT IS THE LITTLE LEVER BY THE HANDLE?
and you’re ready to mow

No more gas, oil or tune-ups – You save time and money
Gas mowers can require constant maintenance and requires costly expenses like gas, oil, spark plugs or tune-ups
With the PowerMower, you’ll save money over time. At only 10 cents to re-charge<<THIS SOUNDS WRONG. THE WAY TO FIGURE IT WOULD BE TO SEE HOW MANY WATTS THE CHARGER WAS. AND THEN HOW LONG U NEED TO RUN THE CHARGER X COST OF ELECTRICITY IN UR AREA.
you can mow your lawn for entire season for less than a gallon of gas!
FYI, A THOUSAND WATT GENERATOR TAKES ONE GALLON PER HOUR TO RUN.

The PowerMower is Lightweight and easy to maneuver
In addition to being easy to maintain and start, the PowerMower is lightweight, making it easier to maneuver around the yard. <<THAT IS A REALLY BAD RUN-ON SENTENCE. BUT ALSO IT MEANS THAT THE MOWER IS NOT SELF PROPELLED.
In cordless mode the PowerMower weighs only 60 lbs. <<SELF PROPLELLED MOWERS ARE ONLY GOOD FOR SOMETIMES/some people, PLUS THEY ARE LOUD:

Easy to Start – Easy to Use!
The PowerMower features an easy single touch height adjustment that changes the height of all four wheels<<THIS SOUNDS A LOT EASIER THAN THE WAY I HAVE TO ADJUST MY CRAFTSMAN GAS MOWER.
With just the turn of a dial, switch from cordless to corded mode instantly

AT THEIR SITE THEY SAY THEY WILL give YOU A free BAG TO GO WITH IT AS A "LIMITED TIME" BONUS. SO THAT MEANS IF U BUY FROM A DISTRIBTOR, MAKE SURE U GET THE BAG. the mower it's self COSTS 399. USD AT THEIR SITE. OR SEVERAL EASY PAYMENTS...

on another page of theirs they say the replacement blade is 17"..if that seventeen is it's "swath size" then it is pretty small. maybe no biggie but it adds to how many times u walk back and forth/also lets u get in smaller places maybe. other swath numbers i have heard for electric are 22" - 41".

if ur lawn was huge, maybe u would buy an extra battery (sold at their site) or else care about how long it takes to recharge? or else enjoy the break while it recharges.

one thing i have heard about batteries in general is that they will wear out quicker if they do not get rundown all the way sometimes<<like for ur cell phone, if u recharge it while it still has half it's power left, then that battery will wear out quicker...i am not sure how this blends with the fact that if ur CAR battery gets run-out too much then u CANNOT recharge it at all.

maybe ask the boys about these things as u continue researching or shopping.

here is a lawn forum to ask at. once u register..even if u immediately post a thread asking about remington electrics..you should run a search on their forum for previous threads about electic mowers or remingtons..because u can find various answers in various threads even though the subject matter is basically the same.

http://www.lawncafe.com/forumindex.php?< br />
also that first link i gave u has a lawn forum where u can ask and talk about this stuff.

here is a general gardening forum, only a small part of the board is about lawns specifically:

last, here is the remington site; they will send u a free brochure and DVD:
