Kelly Burke at About.com reviews the Neuton Mower

noreply@blogger.com (Neut) — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:43:00 +0000

I love this mower. I've been using one for several months now, working it alongside commercial grade gas powered mowers and it has held up excellent. Beyond the environmental impact of a zero emission mower, the Neuton is so quiet and easy to maintain, gas mowers will soon be a thing of the past. Mowing the lawn is a pleasure with the Neuton.

A Refurbished Neuton Mower Story

noreply@blogger.com (Neut) — Sun, 31 May 2009 20:41:00 +0000

From Rivers of Thought:

I was like a kid at Christmas when it arrived, tore open the box and assembled it right there in the family room. It was a thing of beauty. I don’t know what was used and refurbished about it, it looked brand new!

A few days later it finally stopped raining and I gave it a whirl. It does a tremendous job on the yard. We have about 7,000 square feet of yard and it breezed right through it.

There is a whole lot more to this story. Don't miss it!

Neutons, Baseball and Home Run Apples

noreply@blogger.com (Brian Erni) — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 18:26:00 +0000

With that first glimpse of spring came my favorite aspects of life: sun, baseball and, surprisingly, mowing my lawn. Call me crazy, but I find pacing around my yard, lawnmower in hand, to be an overall very therapeutic exercise. What wasn’t all that relaxing was digging my mower out of my backyard shed after a winter of hibernation. The first thaw of winter always brought the tumultuous task of oil to change, an engine to prime and a chord to crank for what seemed like a half an hour to get it started up. It felt like I had just gone through a war before I even got a blade of grass trimmed, giving a whole new meaning to my weekend warrior status. When I went out to my same backyard after months of snow and ice this year, the relief that came with being saved my least favorite activity of the spring cemented my decision to purchase my Neuton last summer as one of the best I could have made.

After quick charge, my battery was ready to go and I headed out to grab my little green machine. Within a matter of seconds, not hours, my Neuton 19 inch model was up and running. Just a few flicks of some switches and I was on my way, humming quietly along my yard much to the delight of my neighbors. Gliding through my lawn with ease, I used the adjustable height settings to ensure both the thinner grass of my front lawn and the thicker patches along the side of my house were both trimmed to perfection.

After only doing a light spring pick up of fallen branches, I admit I was worried about catching a few stray twigs and how the mower would handle it. But it never ceases to amaze me how this mower, running on a battery, still has heavy duty power behind it. After the lawn was manicured, I strapped on my Trimmer/Edger attachment to the front of my machine. This little innovation is fantastic. The trimmer/edger left my driveway and sidewalk pristine while again saving me the aggravation of gassing, priming and choking an intrusively noisy weed wacker. After 45 minutes of spring time therapy, my lawn came away reflecting my mood: utterly perfect.

Having put the first cut behind me like a breeze, my mind wandered at the possibilities. A summer of smooth, beautiful lawn without getting gasoline on my hands; what could be next?

After perusing the Neuton catalog, my next great conquest came to me quickly. As an avid Mets fan, my next lawn project will be to make over my yard using my Neuton mower as close to new Citi Field specifications as possible. To do this: Neuton’s Striping attachment, which will allow me to get that ballpark look to celebrate the inaugural season of my team’s new home. Now, if I could only get my hands on a replica home run apple for my back yard!

Neuton Battery-Powered Mowers Win Rave Reviews!

noreply@blogger.com (Neut) — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 21:30:00 +0000

Check out what they have to say over at BestStuff.com!

The Neuton Mower is easy to start and weighs half the weight of the typical lawn mower the same size. One of the benefits that this lawn mower has (and your neighbors will like) is the noise. There is very little noise compared to the gas equivalent lawn mower. My neighbor has an electric lawn mower, and he chases a cord through his lawn every weekend. He has actually cut the cord accidentally several times!

State & Lake report on the Neuton CE 6

noreply@blogger.com (Neut) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 15:09:00 +0000

Another reviewer is going green!

I will admit having a fascination with gas guzzling, oil burning, spark plug wielding lawn mowers. I believe this fascination goes back to the days of removing those old Briggs & Stratton engines to make go-carts. Ahhh, those were the days. There was always something special about the sound of those engines. Today, however, I’m finding I can no longer tolerate the noise, the smoke, and the weight of the gas guzzlers. The fondness and the love affair have faded.

Two weeks ago, while surveying the wild forest taking root in my backyard, I decided this would be the year to turn away from my gas guzzling ways and go green. My mother purchased one of those Neuton lawn mowers and I was quite smitten with it though I did not realize it at the time. It is quiet, light weight and did the job. One Saturday, my mother and I decided to do dueling lawn mowers in the front yard. There I was with my loud and obnoxious gas guzzler and she with her dainty and quiet little Neuton.

Neuton CE 6.2: 2009 Editors' Choice Award Winner

noreply@blogger.com (Neut) — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 14:12:00 +0000

Break out the red carpet. It's awards season! And the Neuton CE 6.2 just snagged the 2009 Editors' Choice Award from Organic Gardening.

Here's what they had to say about the Neuton Mower:

Of the three battery-operated mowers we tested, the Neuton CE 6.2 battery-powered mower cut more consistently than the others. It chopped down thick, at times damp, grass with steady power. With its mulching plug (included) in place, the mower left fine clippings on the lawn that decomposed in a few days. Its 19-inch cutting width is just slightly narrower than the typical gas-powered mower. The Neuton's 36-volt battery takes eight hours to charge and provides power for about an hour.

A few minor but valuable features also distinguish the Neuton from the competition. An easy-to-read gauge lets you know when the battery's charge is waning. You can remove the battery from the mower when you need to recharge it--a handy option for those who don't have a power source where they store their mower. It was the only model we tested that let you keep a spare battery (sold separately), which can double the length of time you have to cut the lawn. And you can raise the cutting height to a healthy 3 inches tall with the shift of a single lever. For that reason alone, we recommend this mower to any organic gardener caring for a lawn that's one-third of an acre or less.

Neuton and Clean Air Lawn Care Team Up

noreply@blogger.com (Neut) — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 17:04:00 +0000

If you don't mow your own lawn, but instead have a lawn service cover the task, consider this team: Clean Air Lawn Care.

They're based in Colorado, but are opening franchises across the country. They even stopped by Vergennes, Vermont last summer to say, "Hey." We spent a couple of days talking about lawn mowers and lawn mowing. Since they are "changing the way America mows the lawn" and we are too, we decided to team-up.

Clean Air Lawn Care now uses Neuton Mowers!

P.S. They just launched a new service in Bellingham, Washington. You can read about it here.
