I live in the Mid-Atlantic region of the country &amp; wondered how the mower would last if stored outside in my shed. How is it affected by rain, snow, cold? Will it start right up next spring?

I live in western Washington and I store mine in a shed. I would not store outside. We get plenty of rain and some snow and electric mowers are common here. This mower has a cord not a battery so cold should not affect it.

Mostly. I have two units in our yard. Same brand. One has taken wind and weather with NO problem, the other seems to get a little finicky when wet. Maybe one is more exposed to a certain direction of wind or rain, who knows. But once it's dried out again it works just fine.

Depends where you live. If you get snow, leave it until spring. Otherwise it should work but it needs to build heat to bresk down the leaves. Above 40 degrees for sure.

We bought this for our son who lives in Denver I used it to mow his front yard and did not notice this. It was fall so there were a few leaves.

M - I believe it's supposed to last 2 yrs. If you go to Amazon.com, it will give you accurate information on this. I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't much help. However, I can tell you that the life of this mower depends on where you live. My first one here in FL lasted a little over 2 yrs. Back home in MD I mowed for 10-12 years, and it was still going strong when I moved to FL.

I don't have experience with the snow, but mine is adequate for the rain. I am pleased with this product so far and consider it a small investment to protect my mower.

I should have brought it in to the gardening shed...but forgot. We live in mid-Michigan and had a very bitter winter with a lot of snow. I left it out and no problems - have already begun using again, now that we've had an unusually warm early Spring. It still looks great! No signs of damage. I don't plan on pushing our luck next year.

I live in Colorado and have had both snow and heavy rain and had no issues. I did built a shelving system inside though just to be safe in the event that water somehow came in the bottom (hasn't happened as of now). I can't speak to wind as I placed the shed right next to the house and it's fairly protected. I will say though that after you get it built and have it loaded with garden stuff it becomes pretty sturdy. Hope that helps.

We have had our wind spinner outside on our patio all summer (we live near Portland OR) We've had some heavy rain and the battery has been fine. We bought our spinner in Maui from a business in an outdoor kiosk. We love our wind spinner and have had no trouble with the battery outside. We do plan on bringing it in when winter comes because we won't be using our outdoor patio. Hope this helps

We use this mower without a grass catcher and let the mowed grass stay on the lawn. It is such a small amount of grass that it blends in quickly and does not cause a problem. Kathy Summers

I've used it outside, but wind has big effect on ball so usually set it up in my garage. I store it in the garage when not in use, but I wouldn't leave it outside in the weather.

Why of course it is if you like to push a 70 pound plus (85 pounds if you use the grass catcher) mower around. You'll enjoy it most when the temperature is above 80, the humidity is 90 percent and sun is shining. The bad news is you might have a heart attack. The good news is that if you do have a heart attack and die you will significantly reduce your carbon footprint.

The mower is fine in the garage. Batteries should be stored in the house. They advise a half charge on the batteries during storage.

I sprayed my landscaping trailer 2 seasons ago and the stuff is holding up great. I do have some wear issues where the mowers are strapped to the front rail (metal on metal) but that was expected. Overall I'm more than pleased with the results. Just remember the prep is what will make or break you. Hope this helps you out.

We live in WI and We just bought one. I will let you know how it holds up over the fall and winter.

We live near the Canadian border in MN and use it year 'round [purchased last Dec]. We store it in a pole barn and either cook in the barn or, it is very easy to wheel around, so we move it outside and cook, too [just depends on how much snow].

hi do you have to keep it plugged in all winter or even all week. can you just charge it up the evening before, mow, and then leave for the next week. doesn't it hold the charge? would appreciate your thoughts. thanks peggy ness
