Mine's a fancy-pants Stihl battery mower, but it works quite well and has been doing so without problem since I bought it ~4 years ago. The other battery stuff from the same brand (trimmer, chainsaw, kombi-tool) have the same story.
They really aren't particularly quiet imo. Yes, there's no motor, but it turns out that the whirring sound of blades rotating and cutting grass is quite loud even without a motor. I would say mine is perhaps 3/4 as loud as a gas mower, which isn't a very impressive reduction in noise.
I love mine.
I mean, not all of them?

Why? Mine is great. And light. And QUIET.

Everything is garbage now. It’s the end state of unrestrained capitalism.
Surely not, the invisible hand of the market should crawl up their arse and make them do the right thing any day now.
The invisible hand crawled up the arses of Congress and seems to enjoy it there.
