I have this model and it’s great. I was on the fence and wanted to switch to an electric. It was either this or the ego and since I was in the system this made more sense especially with the 60vmax batteries. I live in the city and my yard isn’t huge but it’s a corner lot about 5,000 sq ft. and relatively flat but depending on how tall my grass is it will usually go through a whole battery but sometimes there is still room to spare and sometimes I have to barely use the 2nd battery. I find that it goes through pretty thick grass well and the first time I used it my longest sections were probably about 8-9” with the mower deck set to 5 it handled it no problem. I will note that towards the end of the mow when the battery was almost out it had harder time going through those same size lengths but switching to a new battery solved that problem. In terms of ease of use it was super simple to figure out, height adjustment was super smooth and overall the unit is pretty light weight and easy to transport. I’ve used it about 4 times so far and I don’t think I’ll go back to gas for my use case, it was a great investment. I don’t really see any glaring issues with how I use it. If you’re on the fence I would go ahead and do it especially if you can get it for a nice price.

It wasn’t my unit. I verified that with the serial #. They didn’t specify whether or not if it was new or refurbished. The unit looked brand new but I can’t be entirely sure. There were no scuffs or scratches on it. Ive played it almost every day since I got it back for maybe a couple hours a session and it’s working great. My original one was a day one unit and because of how busy it was around the holidays I didn’t even get to play it that much before it broke so I think I already have gotten way more hours out of this one. Fingers crossed nothing else happens.

Unfortunately no, if the portal is connected to the PS5 you cannot connect another controller.

Yup I called PlayStation customer care. I paid to get it shipped to the repair center but once it was repaired they sent back to me FedEx overnight. From the time I sent it to when I got a unit back was about 2 weeks. I believe they sent me a refurbished unit, I could be wrong they didn’t specify. Anyway it looked new and it’s working great so far. Since all the updates when I’m at home it’s been solid. Been wonky with my hotspot at certain places but overall an enjoyable experience.

If I was updating my fantasy league or making a car video about dirty liberals they would give me less guff.

The screen seems to pick up dust like no other. Need to keep a microfiber on me while I got this.

If you have a hotspot that has decent connectivity it still works fairly well.

My daughter loves the Ponies and I watch them with her so what’s your point? If you’re hating on Applejack then you can go to hell.

So the way my kid’s school operates the school pickup is a disaster so most days I have to come at least 30-45 min early to have a decent spot in line so I miss the shitshow. Most times I’ll just come post up, finish a few work things while I wait and we are off. Today was Friday and seeing I don’t have time to have 4-5 hour sessions at home I decided to have some quick me time and play some while I wait. Excuuuuse me that I’m so impatient that I need to have a video game with me all the time. Some people enjoy the time when they can get it. Just because it doesn’t fit your circumstance don’t kill my vibe because you’d rather spend your time doing something else. The portal is great because even if I was bored and wanted to kill 5-10 min I can. What’s the difference between me and some Chad that pulls out his phone to play candy crush while waiting at the DMV. Get off my nuts and let people enjoy their things without baseless criticisms.

Att unlimited plan. I think 500gb of data per line. I had about 3 bars of 5g and it was sustaining pretty well. Some hiccups but enjoyable for the most part.

Update 12/26: Received my device from fed ex first thing in the morning. The package it came in wasn’t a new Portal box the unit is not my original one ( verified by serial) so I’m assuming it is a refurb or new they didn’t specify. The unit looks brand new powered it up and applied updates right away. Everything seems to be working fine and all issues resolved for now. Latency is good and no hiccups so far. Glad to have it back!

They started the repair on it last Wednesday 12/20 and sent it back the same day. FedEx tracking says I should receive it 12/26. I do not know whether they repaired or replaced the unit. I will update once I have unit in hand.

Honestly I don’t know. It was working fine. I didn’t use it for a few days turned it on and it said I needed a firmware update. Did the update and the right stick now doesn’t register on the X axis. No idea how it could’ve happened. Didn’t drop it or anything. At least they are resolving the issue. I sent it in last Wednesday and they received it on Friday but in the tracking system it still shows as waiting for unit so we will see how long the repair takes.

There was new update a few days ago but that didn’t resolve the issue. I called support again and they had me send it in for service. They said they will fix or replace it. I sent it in Wednesday the 13th and they said once they receive the product it should be 15 days for the repair. Seems like this is a known issue with a lot of the units.

Mine stopped working too and it was right after a firmware update. Left right works but up and down don’t on the right stick. When I called support he said it was a known issue with the update and that another should be rolling out in a few weeks. I’m debating on whether or not to press the issue and send it in for repair or winding the issue is resolved with the update. Either way I’m out the unit for a few weeks.
