Paid over 1000 for rubbish. Has made a total mess of my lawn. Does not cut cleanly and I have to mow twice to get result. Returning it tomorrow for refund. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT

Absolute garbage and daylight robbery for$1000 what more can I say it’s a complete waste of money wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Aldi $299 is better value a real ripoff

Powerful, great cutting ability, great mulching and SO easy to charge, start and operate. Almost makes mowing a pleasure. You don’t end up reeking of petrol or inhaling fumes. Have the self propelled V that will do that without the blades running.

We have a large estate with around 1/4 acre of lawns and grasses. The claim on battery is one charge is good for around 500 square metres. And this doesnt disappoint. It certainly does cover that in one charge. As others mention the recharge is fairly quick and I have a second one in the useful carrier onboard. Neighbours come up and comment (quiet, easy to use, excellent result etc). I like to point out that it costs me nothing to mow as the sun is powering the chargers in the garage (we have a 10kW PV setup on the roof that even midwinter in ...

Have had several size variations of these mowers at 2 x work sites I frequent over the past few years now, currently for the past 6 to 8 months using the RMA510's. Numerous people use them pending whom is available at the time when the lawns need doing, and having spoken to all on occasion about them and the general verdict is unanimous, everyone loves them. I tried one out for myself the other day on an extremely lush bit of lawn and immediately upon return home have now bought one. I did however have to remove the rubber flap on the back of t...

I am unable to mow the lawns and my wife who is 155 cms tall and weighs in at a massive 53 kilos, is the one who mows our reasonably large lawns. We prefer not to "shave" our lawn, and keep the grass at about 25mm high. Our property has four big Magnolia trees and so we normally have large, leathery and heavy leaves to "vacuum up" when mowing. We had an old 4 stroke petrol mower, but despite regular servicing, it was sometimes difficult to start.

We decided we needed a replacement, and without any preconceived ideas visited our local Stihl s...

This mower is Rubbish! Bought Saturday returned Monday morning and bought a REAL mower. The lowest setting is way too high, under-powered, Assured by the dealer this is up for the job. What a Disappointing purchase Don't believe what your told by dealers. This mower is a TOY. At nearly $1000 A total waste of money!

The 510 is advertised to be suitable for medium sized lawns. That should be conditional on you having plenty of time and the lawn is not buffalo. No comparison with a 4 stroke which did the same job easily. Another problem is the blade deck sits low and makes the mower very difficult to push on a low height setting, although even the lowest setting is comparatively high.
Would definitely not recommended this machine.

I got sick of my Briggs & Stratton powered Victa lawnmower and its easy to clog and hard to clean plastic carburettor jets. I already have Stihl battery powered tools but using the previous high capacity AP180 which is in between the current AP200 and AP300 for power so took the chance that the RMA 510 would be fine.

It is. The smaller capacity AP180 battery was enough to cut my 200 sqm "lawn" as well as around 50 sqm of rough long grass in the adjoining reserve. In all, mowing for around 20 minutes. I still had 20% battery power at the end ...

I purchased the"best" most expensive manual electronic mower Stihl makes... IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PUSH. In addition, even with a fully charged battery it could not completely mow my small garden home yard without a second recharge. It runs exceptionally well. Sounds quiet and powerful... Looks "cutting edge" but that's the kindest thing I can say regarding it's cutting ability... Impressive technology, easy one hand height adjust - But my Advise: Do not spend $600.00 on a mower you have to push with a pickup truck! Tomorrow I go back to the store to buy a second $150.00 backup battery... Really?

This mower is hard to push, i think the blade is too high in the deck so to get a good cut it drags the deck. I've gone back to using my old petrol mower my yard is flat and the grass if not real thick would hate to use this mower on hills.

When our ancient petrol mower gave up the ghost, I looked into battery powered mowers. This is a big push mower with wide cutting. It will cost you as much as a good quality 4-stroke petrol mower, but the battery and charger can be used with other Stihl products. And you won't have to mess around with jerry cans and petrol/oil top ups (and oil changes). And pull starting.

We don't have a large area of lawn - I can get it all mowed in about 15 minutes - and I got 3 mows before the low battery warning. Recharge time depends on the charger...
