and I love it. However, I have a small lot and I have to recharge halfway through the yard. I think that you will have to consider that for a yard as big as yours. It is possible, but think about how you will do the yard in sections. I bought a rather expensive battery and charger that lasts about 25 minutes on a charge and can recharge in half an hour---but like I said, it was more expensive. The other option I was given was to buy two batteries so that I could use one while the other was recharging. The good thing is that I always have tons of twigs all over and have no problem with this mower cutting them.
You might want to rethink a reel mower for a lot your size too. They take some work to use, not like a gas mower. You would not have to catch the clippings, however, you cannot let the grass get very long or the work to mow will be hard. Reel mowers just will not get through longer grass. I had one and had to mow twice a week so that the grass didn't get too long. The good thing about doing that is that the clippings will not be seen and will be good for the lawn. You would not have to catch or rake. The biggest problem is when it rains too long to get out to mow and the grass gets too long.
I hate to say it, but with about an acre, I would not want to use either of these mowers....but that is because I don't want to be mowing every day of my life.
