It’s time for another great lawn mower review from your favorite lawn mower review guy! This time I’ll be talking about the Solaris S21HB Electric Lawn Mower. I must say, this is a particularly sexy looking lawn mower, if it were a bright pearl color, it would look like it could be related to EVE from Wall-E. Of course, this is an electric lawn mower, so you have all the advantages that come with a battery powered lawn mower including not having to buy gas, change oil, or buy and change spark plugs and filters. Why do I mention the advantages of electric mowers every electric lawn mower review? Simple. Not everyone who visits the site is going to read all my lawn mower reviews like you did!
One thing I want to mention is that the Solaris S21HB Lawn Mower can be powered by a solar panel. The panels themselves cost about $200 bucks, so factor that in to your buying decision. But, the cool factor of a solar powered lawn mower is well worth the money in my opinion. The batteries themselves will take about 3 days worth of sun if you’re charging them with a solar panel. Come to think of it, the solar panel would be more show than utilitarian.
If you’re wondering how long the batteries last, they’ll go for about 10,000 square feet on a full charge. That’s just shy of a 1/3rd of an acre. That means you’ll be able to cut your small to medium sized lawn on a single charge. Oh, there’s also an LED battery level indicator that will let you know how close to death the battery is. That should enable you to speed up your mowing and get what you NEED done before the Solaris S21HB Lawn Mower poops out on you. Very useful feature indeed.
The Solaris S21HB Lawn Mower can also be adjusted for cutting height. It can cut between 1.5” and 3.5” with 7 different positions. I’ve seen lawn mowers with greater range, but really, 7 different settings between 1.5” and 3.5” is really nothing to complain about, but I will. Solaris, please give me 10 different settings if you decide to upgrade this model in the future. Thank you very much.
Overall, the Solaris S21HB Lawn Mower is one of the better lawn mowers out there. It comes with two, count ‘em, two batteries. That means you’re getting quite a bit for your money considering most electric lawn mowers include just one battery. You can use one and charge the other! I really like that feature and this alone makes it an electric lawn mower worth buying!
