It will take more than one mowing to get it back down. She doesn't mow more than a third of its height at one time, and not more than an inch or so regardless. She might overlap each pass by a half instead of an inch or two. In those cases it would take more than a single charge. She will do the back, than use the weeds whacker to do the trimming while the battery charges, then the front.
So, yes, it is not as powerful as a gas mower wrt mulching very tall grass, but that extra power would pretty much be wasted. Using Kev Williams's 6" grass as an example; she would never cut that to height in one pass regardless of how much power the mower had.
