Want to go green, and not to worry about tune-ups....etc
anyone have an electric mower? how do they perform?
have 0.3 acre of lawn

[graider]

i do. it only work if you have a small lawn cause you need drag the power cable along. lol

[BTM]

Wait it doesn't charge up or something? I'm completely oblivious, people come do our lawn on those high speed tractors without steering wheels

fucking this

i have one and my only complaint is having to fucking deal with the cord. fml it's a pain in the ass, but i'd rather deal with that than a gas mower

[ska///235i]

they have ones that recharges....no way I can push a corded one around the yard

i think those are the "zero turn" mowers...they're control differently

[CollinsE90]

buy one of the old fashioned ones for that small of a lot

[ska///235i]

.3 acre = 13000 sq ft

are old ones better?

I heard BMW is working on a Bluetooth version to come out soon.

I can't imagine having to deal with a cord. Having one that charges up would be cool though.

I have a corded electric mower... it sucks... I've already cut the power cord twice

[E90 87ss]

garbage, complete garbage... those push spinning blade mowers are slightly better... sales guy at sears sold my grandmother on it over a gas powered mower... heavy, needs to be recharged, and not great with tall or thick grass. Gas powered mowers are the way to go...

Only get an electric if:

1) you have a small yard

2) you mow your lawn at least once a week (if you let it get too tall between cuts, most electric mowers dont have near the power that gas ones do, and thus its a PITA)

i have an electric black and decker blower and edger. sure beats the hell out of pulling the damn cord 20 times

[08rookie]

i use scissors. clean cut every time. no power cord. saves money and energy. hug a tree

[ska///235i]

base on some of these stupid replies...alot of you never cut grass, you only smoke them lol

I think you got answers you're looking for. Corded ones suck, and overall they are less powerful from a cutting standpoint than gas ones. They are acceptable for small yards such as your own, as long as you don't let your grass grow out of control

#2 is only true if you get a powerful gas model. the weak one would just shutdown and you have to pull the cable to restart it like 20 times. Hate it.
