Does an Electric Lawn Mower Make Sense for Us?
Question:I am thinking of getting a cordless elecrtic lawn mower for my husband to use (I don't do yard work). We have a very small yard, with maybe 400 sq. ft. of grass to mow. Right now, we have an old gas-powered mower that's been handed down several times. It's a pain to start up, keep gassed up, and use, so my husband mows less often than he should.
Is an electric lawn mower worth the price, especially considering we only have a small yard? We do have an outlet outside where it can be recharged - how often will it have to be charged, and for how long? Will it really be easier to use and more convenient than a gas-powered mower?
Answers:
not that big at all so why even bother with electricity? why not go out and get one of the old fashioned reel mowers? as long as it is kept up every 5 or 6 days , keep the blade sharp, they are great and easy to use and cost a hell of allot less !
Personally, I think electric would be quite a hassle having to deal with an extention cord. I have a Neuton, it's battery operated, I love it. It's pricey, but well worth it. I have 2 batteries, one I use and the other charges. One battery will last a little over an hour. It's very easy to manuever and lightweight. It's also very quiet, you can actually have a normal conversation with someone while mowing and even here the phone ring. I've had it for almost 5 years and have never had a problem with it. There's nothing to do for upkeep on it either. Hope this helps!
Dear thoughtful wife,
I'm going to give my opinion, I hope I get one for fathers day
because I think they're great. I don't own one yet but I have been researching them and want to buy one soon.
they are quieter, no smell,no wire,VERY eco-friendly.
I'm in favour of not burning fuel if you don't have to.
The cost now is reasonable.
