I have this one I bought a couple of years ago, so it might be slightly different:

I don’t have a lot of grass, and it easily handles the whole thing on a single charge.

Likes:  
Fairly quiet (compared to a gas mower)  
Charges quickly  
Folds up, so takes up less garage space  
Light, easy to push  
Super easy to start

Dislikes:  
The front of the mower sticks out too far so it’s impossible to get into tight corners  
Bogs down/stalls in tall grass
