And the disappointing thing is... I can't tell if this is a case of not doing the math correctly or just not having the info. How could I have known? They said it'd cut 1.5 acres. Probably some fine print says "(must be totally flat)." But I missed it. (And maybe didn't want to see it.) How do you factor in the slopes?
But there's no returning it or something without a huge financial loss. Even if I were to somehow exchange it magically for the tractor version it won't fix the battery issue.

So ultimately I'm probably stuck with it. I mean, I don't totally hate it. My assumption is I'll get better at it. I can do the yard in two passes, maybe, sure. But that's all kinda not the point. It's quieter. A *lot* quieter. It's cleaner. When I'm not near barriers, it's actually pretty fun to drive. But it's turned what used to be a 1-1.5 hour job into multiple passes with multi-hour charging downtime. I'm not all that happy with this tradeoff right now. So yeah.
