Hi MM, Yeah, I liked the lightness of it too - our lawns are on split levels so I have to lug the mower up and down a set of stairs, which is not fun! I'm pretty sure 1 battery would last our section...so long as I didn't let the lawns get away on me! Our lawns aren't in pristene bowling-green condition (I wish!) but otherwise o.k. We don't have to contend with too much - just the odd Cabbage Tree leaf that I've missed picking up, and the mulch the birds are constantly scratching out of the gardens! My old mower never said boo once to the missed leaves - I wonder if an enviromower would turn its toes up on them? The thing that I'm a bit iffy about is the blades - with my existing mower I got the blades sharpened, maybe, once every 2 years if I was lucky (yeah I know, maintenance is paramount and all that!). The frequency that the website talks about swapping and sharpening blades, etc, makes me think that perhaps the blades are not as robust as those on a petrol mower??? On adding it up, it'd cost NZ$823 for the mower plus a spare battery and cutting blade(just in case!), which is on par with many other mowers on the market here. Plus there is a dealer just down the road from me, so I have been able to see one close up. My biggest concern is wether it'd last the distance, or would I end up always dragging the thing into repair shops wishing I'd spent the $$$ on a tried and true brand! Regards, GF

My husband used them out of the Atlanta airport a couple of times. He had a good experience with them. I think he got a little Fiat 500 one time and some sort of crazy Camaro convertible another time (because they ran out of what he originally reserved). I have no knowledge about under-25 or extra drivers. He's always been on his own when he used them. Oh, and he's always been old.

Deleted the one in Kitchens, sorry.. clicked Appliances but it posted it there.. kooky. Anyway: Has anyone purchased from US Appliance before? We are planning to buy the Frigidaire all freezer / all fridge combo (Professional series) and were worried that we might have warranty issues. It is like 900 cheaper than going to the local boxed store.... albeit the box store might be just as bad... who knows. Any experience?

This Neff oven (example) runs on 220-240 volts at 60 hz so it should be usable out of the box. The problem would be buying it and having it shipped to the US; and, of course, there would be no one here to service it if it broke. Interestingly, Neff is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BSH which also owns Bosch and Thermador.
