Neuton CE 6.2 electric mower

Date Published: 3/24/08

The 19-inch Neuton CE 6.2 cordless electric mower has all the power you need in a tremendously quiet, efficient, easy-to-use eco-friendly machine. The big news is that the CE 6.2 is Neuton's widest, fastest, most powerful battery-powered mower. As the flagship of the new line, the CE 6.2 features a powerful 36-volt 50-amp motor, as well as heavy-duty steel aero blades that cut lawns faster and better than ever before. You get the cutting power of a gasoline-powered mower without having to deal with all the noise and noxious fumes.

The removable battery runs for about an hour per charge and can be charged inside or outside of the mower; we find that this added convenience really comes in handy, especially if you store your mower in a portable shed that lacks an electrical outlet. This way, you can remove the battery and charge it up in the garage while leaving the mower itself elsewhere. Once fully charged, the battery-powered mower can tackle nearly 15,000 square feet on a single charge. A spare 36-volt battery is available through a dealer or directly from the factory; it's a good idea to have a spare on hand if you've got a larger area to mow.

Another excellent feature is the 19-inch-wide cut, which is equal to the cutting path of most smaller gas mowers. The wider the cutting path, the fewer passes it takes to mow the yard, so you can noticeably reduce the amount of time it takes to mow a large yard. Attachments for rear bagging, mulching and side-discharge come standard with this unit and are incredibly easy to use; what's more, switching between cutting modes takes just seconds. The mower housing and user controls have been ergonomically designed to allow for easy adjustments and maximum maneuverability. We especially like that cutting-height adjustment (1.2 - 3 inches) can be done with a single lever. The convenience of this arrangement always scores bonus points with us.

The mower starts with a gentle squeeze of the handlebar. Its lightweight portability makes for easy maneuvering on shallow inclines and bumpy terrain. When it comes time to trim or edge, simply plug the optional trimmer/edger attachment into the front of your mower and you're good to go. The optional accessories package includes an extra 36-volt battery, the trimmer attachment, an extra cutting blade, a blade sharpener and three spools of cord; it's a good deal that you should certainly consider. Neuton's 6-month money-back trial period is a great way to test this mower. All things considered, we think that the Neuton CE 6.2 cordless electric mower is a great way to get the job in an eco-friendly manner.


Pros: Quiet, easy to use, powerful 36-volt motor, cordless convenience, mows up to 15,000 square feet on a single charge, 19-inch cutting path, ergonomic operation, single-lever height adjuster
Cons: Doesn't bag as well as a gas-powered mower, 3-inch maximum cutting height may be too low for some lawns
