"On behalf of Aquatic Site Maintenance ‘Down Under’ we would like to comment on how well the Jenson Lake Mower™ is performing for us. We are using it in a harsh environment in an inland salt water lake that is 50 Hectares in size with a residential housing development surrounding the lake. The appearance of the lake, as it is surrounded by residential homes, is of key importance to the success of the development as a whole. We have now been operating the Lake Mower™ in this salt water environment, in a commercial application 6 to 8 hours a day, 6 days a week for over six months now. The Lake Mower™ has so far performed well above our expectations. To date we have had no major down time due to any problems with the unit. With over 1200 operational hours in this environment and so far no signs of failing, even when cutting through Australian Sea Grass which grows quicker than you can cut all year round, we can only say that to this point it has defiantly exceeded our expectations.
Again, thank you."

"Just a quick line to say hello and tell you how pleased I am with the Lake Mower™. After 3 seasons, it is truly a little beauty that is living up to and beyond my expectations. It handles the Milfoil which is the biggest problem in our water ways with no effort. The battery lasts all day and I have had only one mechanical problem. That was caused by cutting through bull rushes at the base. Not just once but several jobs. (Yep, really exceeding the engineering specs and warranty, folks). Almost as thick as sugar cane yet the Lake Mower™ coped with it fine for the first few days then it stopped cutting. I then realized I had bent the drive pin so it took half an hour to fix and a learning to leave them big brother Bull Rushes alone.

"My customers are really surprised when they see the job done in a fraction of the time it takes them with other methods being used. I can compete for channel cutting but have the niche market of clearing jetties and boat ramps because of the great maneuverability of the dingy mounted Lake Mower™.

"The best bit is that I get paid to play on the water!!!"
