Cordless lawnmowers.

The day I bought one the whole business of mowing became so much easier (my evolution was from gas-powered to corded to battery powered). The corded version was the most frustrating.

For my mower (56V battery, 21" deck), it takes a little less than an hour to fully recharge and runs at full power for about 45 minutes which is enough for me to finish the front yard and back yard.

A lawnmower with a cord sounds like a really stupid idea.

I've also thought about buying a cordless lawnmower. I have about an acre and I cut most of it with a zero-turn. There are a few spots around my house and garage that I can't get to with the zero-turn.

I have an old 3hp push mower but I'm afraid that it's in its last days. It's almost 40 years old.

I use a corded electric mower. The cord is a pain but you get used to it. The mower doesn't weigh much and you don't have to mess around with batteries.

My two cents, research the heck out of this purchase over the winter months before you drop coin

GreenWorks, Snapper, Sun Joe, Black + Decker and Worx brands are highly rated according to Popular Mechanics Magazine

I'd also suggest that you store the batteries inside at room temperature, big swings in temp will murder your yard gear batteries and they are super expensive

A 40V Lithium battery which a lot of these yard tools run on costs about $130 to replace

I used to have one years ago...it ran on gas. Not much fun to use, and I had even less fun refilling it or checking the oil, but it did the job.

We love ours. A Ryobi. It does take a couple of hours to charge, and one battery doesn't always last for the whole lawn, so I have two. But the mowing is so easy and quick; no gas to store and drain. Easy to start and the power stays constant. When the battery runs out the mower turns off, but the power stays constant. A highly recommended purchase.

Long time gasoline mower user until I went electric 2 years ago. An 'EGO' mower.

Mine has a 21 inch deck, uses a 56 Volt 5 amp/hour battery. The charging cycle takes 30 to 40 minutes and is good for about an hour of mowing, and it cuts through thick grass as good as my 4 HP gas mower did.

Another unrealized strong point of it I didn't realize until I used it was how QUIET it is. Really cuts down on noise fatigue when mowing. It's also lighter and I like how the handle folds and it can be stored vertically, saving a ton of space in the garage.
