I'm thinking about getting a Milwaukee M18 battery-powered lawnmower, but I'm curious about how it actually performs compared to traditional gas mowers. Does anyone have personal experience with this model, and how does it stack up in terms of performance and price?

Yeah, the price is definitely a big factor. If you only need a mower for light use, it might be worth it. Otherwise, you might want to look at gas mowers for larger lawns since they tend to have more power for the same price.
I've been using my Milwaukee M18 for about two years now, and it's been great! I've had zero issues, and I typically use the 12 amp forge batteries, which give me around 55 minutes of runtime. So far, it's plenty powerful for my needs!
Honestly, I think the price can be a bit steep at $599 for the whole kit, especially without discounts. However, if you find it at that hacked price, it could be a decent deal considering the cost of the batteries and charger. Just make sure it fits your needs, especially if you don’t have other Milwaukee tools to go with it!
For the price point, I’d say it really depends on how much lawn you need to mow and if you have the right batteries. If your yard is larger than a quarter acre, you might want to consider something else. But I've loved mine, and it's easy to store since you can stand it up! No oil leaks or gas worries.
Thanks for the insight! I don't currently own any Milwaukee tools, so I'll have to weigh my options.
