Not at all ready for prime time!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After about 4 months of use, a controller board went on it. We waited 4 months for part to come in, Not CubCadet's fault, the whole world is having supply chain problems, but why go bad so soon after purchase?? Then we had an accident, hit a rock, our fault, but still were without the tractor for 3 months due to supply chain problems. Today, something else went wrong, only one of the blades is cutting, so is it here we go again?? When this mower works, it is awesome, but I believe there are serious quality issues, as others attest to here. Do not recommend buying it until the quality comes up substantially.

Very Pleased with Mower!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mower performs very well and does what I would call an even "cub cadet" cut that many generic mowers can't match. The noise level when cutting is significantly lower than a gas powered model. This mower "feels" lighter than a traditional tractor (not a bad thing, just one to get used to.) It's easy to recharge (and meets its 4 hour max charging rate) and its a joy not to have to gas up, check the oil, etc. before each mow. Although I was apprehensive on it's towing ability, I've been able to tow everything I have in the past with gas tractors (aerator, lawn sweeper, wagon). I would absolutely recommend this mower!

Only a few good cuts then, I gave up.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought it a year ago and have had nothing but problems with it. The PTO had to be recalibrated. I cut the grass last week, recharged the battery, tried to start it up again, no power. I plugged it back in again for a few more hours. Still no power. Use my old case number 06477685.

XT1 LT42e. Starting issues
This is a new unit. Used 1 time, then had error codes, mower would not start, service said a battery was bad. Ordered, replaced. Charged battery, used 1 time again, charge was at 84%. Saw the 3 lights on the display flash a few times, still seemed like it had a charge. Tried to start today, no display, no beeps, did not start. Charged unit for a few minutes until the charger no longer flashed. Still no display, will not start. very frustrating, hard to get answers or support.

No Service for electric mowers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the electric 42 riding mower and it just sits in the service department of the dealer. It stopped working all together and the service recommended by Cub Cadet does not get any support from Cub Cadet. For a month it just sits there. I liked it when it ran. Well there many minor problems such as the steering gear breaking, the motor ceasing up, electrical connections going bad, and foot switch needing to be cleaned of dust from leaves, keeping mower from moving. Only use it for part of the yard and just odd jobs. Have been using my more rrliable electric 54" Ryobi ZRT for most of the yard.

My new work horse
I purchased the LT42E in March ‘21 and took delivery in April. It replaced a 10 year old John Deere lawn tractor. The LT42E has done everything I did with the JD, and it has done it with ease and relative quiet and no fuss. I have a 4 acre property which is about 60% wooded and on a hill side. It has done a fine job mowing the portions I keep mowed. I have hauled cart loads of dirt, landscaping blocks, firewood, and garden produce easily. I have the snowplow attachment and have quietly kept my 70 yard-long driveway cleared. It has done everything I have asked of it with ease, quietly, and without fumes.

Seemed like a good idea
Bought not quite 2 years ago. Loved it until error codes popped up. No info on what they are or how to fix. I spent hours searching the internet for help. I called customer service for help and spent 1 hr and 10 min on hold. Service rep sent me info on my codes 121/129. No local repair shops with the electric training, or if they do have it, don't want to fool with it. So what now? I have 21 hours on this mower, over 4k spent. If no one will repair it, I want a refund or a replacement. It should be covered under warranty.

Overall, a great lawn tractor.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great lawn tractor with a few issues. This mower cuts great and performs ever bit as good as gas lawn tractors without the noise and gasoline related issues. I like the fact that this is built and looks like a regular lawn tractor. There are a few issues. There are no arm rests available for the newer version of this tractor, hopefully some will be available soon. The biggest issue is not being able to was the mower and deck. These get dirty, the tires get clogged with undesirable materials, and the underside of the deck collects grass cuttings that trap moisture. Blowing it of with the blower does not work well enough, and removing the deck after each mowing session is impractical. The electrical components should be sealed will enough to allow for normal washing of the mower. However, overall, I am very pleased with the purchase and recommend this lawn tractor.

Welcoming Myself to the Club
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this XT1 42E mower and had it delivered to the house on 3/30/21. Trying to go all electric as it's the wave of the future. Trimmers, edgers, hand mover are all electric and working fine (Kolbalt). Very cool looking Cub Cadet mower and worked great right up until this weekend. My yard is about 1/2 acre and flat. Went out to start it and nothing. Worked fine the weekend before. Stored in the garage at all times. Had 4 error codes all starting with 7. Charge showed 100%. Tried it throughout the weekend with same results. Has 9.3 run hours. Called all the service centers in a 30 mile radius and all said they don't work on electric riding lawn mowers. Called Cub Cadet and they are "searching" for a service center that will work on them. Will update as the process moves forward.

Great features.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this 42' electric rider with great expectations. But when delivered to my house, I was unable to use it - there was no key ! After corresponding with HomeDepot with no luck (they could find none of the keys for either their electric tracker or zero-turn models), I called CC. I was told that there was a wait-list for the keys (unique as they are) and I could not expect one until mid to late July - almost two months waiting period. HomeDepot came to pick it up for a full refund. I am pretty sure that the primary fault lay with HD - somehow they lost or misplaced all their keys for those models.

Wanted to like this mower.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The more I use it the more disappointed I am. No power to finish the job. Can't get through the lawn without needing to recharge it. Not much power. I have 20 hours on it, so I gave been using it. Errors are starting to pop up. It has a poor deck design. Can't really clean it without taking it off if the mower. I would but it again. Very poor quality for the price.

Bagger sucks, but the tractor is pretty cool!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second one. The first one had a power distribution module burn up and due to Covid, the parts weren’t available to fix it. Cub cadet made it right by refunding my money. I bought a 2nd one and I still like it, a lot. I have close to 2 acres and some of it is pretty rough terrain, it handles it all. I took a star off due to the bagger, like other reviews, clogs up before the bags get 1/4 full. It sucks.
I may try a high-lift blade and see if that helps. But otherwise, if you need to bag your clippings up, this is not for you!

It was great until it wasn't
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to use the LT42E that I purchased last Fall. I only mowed 3-4 times last year before putting the mower away for the Winter. I was thrilled with the performance and capability of the tractor. I could not wait to start mowing this year, and I have mowed 3 weeks already, The mower has 2.5 hrs on it. I plugged it in for a charge yesterday and after a full charge cycle, I removed the plug and started getting E702, E705 and E715 error codes and the mower has not started since. Very disappointed. It seems this mower is new enough that there aren't many resources to help with these particular codes.

Great mower. Quiet yet powerful.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this mower due to hip problems and I wish I had sooner. The silent ride is cool and the sound of the blades are awesome. It gives a nice even cut and has plenty of pick up. Lots of power to manage hills/slopes. I do have one small section that may be too steep and for safety reasons I have not attempted yet. I may get brave and try to negotiate that hill once I become more familiar with the mowers capabilities. The battery is strong and for my 1/2 acre I can get 3 to 4 cuts before charging

Solid Mower-Things you should know
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mower is underrated. This is a completely different experience than a traditional gas mower. I mow 1/2-.75 acres on a hillside and charge the mower every 4-5 mowings. The mower is very stable on the hill. I have not experienced any errors with the mower when following the manufacturer's instructions on charging it. When I did get an error messing with it, I waited 30 seconds reconnected, and it worked as it should. The mower itself has more torque than my gas mower ever did and the cut is nice and level. You can adjust the deck to fine-tune it as well. The forward and reverse pedal takes some getting used to, but within 5-10 minutes you are good to go. I have the deck setup to mulch and have no issues with it powering right through everything.

100% satisfied. Exceptional quality. Smooth ride
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely satisfied. Very fast. I cut all my lawn in less than two hours and I still have more than 50% of the battery left. It charges in a few hours. Great quality. Easy to use. No maintenance needed. Easy to clean.

Not sturdy, shaky while driving
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mower looks beautiful, it's very quiet, easy to start and drive and it cuts the grass well. But it does shake a lot while driving and makes my back hurt within a few minutes. I can drive my old gas mower for 1 hour without any issues on the same lot. The steering wheel got unaligned after the first ride. To go straight you'd need to steer left.
I tried to contact their customer support but it is a very difficult task! They keep redirecting 10-20 times which can take 20+ minutes before a real person answers. And then they can redirect you again without a notice...In the end a person (who was very irritated with my call and could not wait for me to hang up) just gave me a list of the near by stores that I need to take my mower to and they will figure out the rest. I just spent almost $5k on it (I also got an additional warranty for $400 to make things like this easier, but it's not easy at all) and have no way to get a support (I have no way to transfer the tractor to a store).
I'd be happy to adjust my rating to 5 stars if I get some help.

Errors in first 5 minutes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the LT42e yesterday, got on it today and after 15ft of mowing the blades shut off and showed error codes E228, then E222 then E108. Shut it down and tried again, right back to E228. I was so excited about this machine now I can’t explain how disappointed I am.

CUT 2 ARCES ON ONE CHARGE,IT,S A 5 STAR SO FAR
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only had this about a month, I have no Major complaints, It,s a little rough riding, I,m cdutting about 5 arces total, It does what it says it will do, Cuts just as good with 5 % on the battery than it does on 100 % chargeSO far I,m impressed I was one that didnt want to go electric ,Think it would slow way down as the battery got lower, Like my e-bike does. Like I said I only had a month about three cuts that 15 arces , Ill update late if threres a problem or no problems Heres some pictues of what I cut uphill, downhill , woods, all gets cut, This is about 4.5 arces on two charges , But I,m 62 I tend to run out before the battery does , The dealership made my wife mad, But thats nothing to do with the mower proformance

In shop for the last 1/4 year
Cheaply built. Parts are scarce and backordered for months on end. Avoid. Warranty means nothing if you wait 1/4 of a year for parts. If you have to buy it, buy two, one to use and one for parts.

Very happy buyer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have never mowed our lawns this fast! We have fairly large lawn areas on our 20-acre property and we were able to mow most of our lawn on just one charge. It’s such a game changer having such a quiet mower as we can use it to haul things at night without annoying the neighbors. We are so happy and are encouraging everyone we know to make the switch to electric. So long dirty loud fuel engine! Cud Cadet knocked it out of the park!

Completely satisfied
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had it for two years now. I got the first one sold at my dealer. Bought the bagger too. I have not had a single problem with the tractor. At first the chute for the bagger would plug up. I changed from the mulching to the cutting blade. Huge difference. It bags perfectly and the deck doesn't get as much build up. I've only cleaned it once this summer as opposed to at least 5 times last year with the mulching blade.

Great performance - no gas, oil, belts required!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LT42E performs exceptionally well on our 1.5 acre lawn. It is very powerful and cuts better and faster than our gas LT42. We used it for heavy mulching this fall. It finely cut the leaves that will breakdown rapidly providing natural, free nutrients for our lawn next spring. And no gas/oil/belts required! Love it.

Hit of the Neighborhood!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love my new electric Cub Cadet! I love how it was ready out of the crate! It's not loud at all. Can talk on the phone even with the blades on. The fact that I can cut both the front and back of my yard at least 4 times before needing to charge it again! I got rid of all my oil and gas products and gave them to my friends in the neighborhood. I drove my XT1 to show off to my friends and they loved it too.

Great Mower!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Cub Cadet XT1 electric riding mower and couldn’t be happier with it. It is easy to operate and does a great job mowing. I own an acre of meadow, a bit rough terrain, and my new mower handled it well using less than one battery charge. I mowed the grass around my house on the same charge. I would recommend this mower to anyone looking for a high quality electric riding mower.

So far so great
We have had our mower for three weeks and have moved the property three times. So far so excellent. Easy to operate and very quiet. The blades are the main source of noise, but that is unavoidable and was expected. Cleaning is not an issue as we have never used our previos gas mower in the wet. Some simple brushing and a bit of a wipe after each use does thge trick. It's a bit early to determine reliability and servicing.
