Hi there, we are about to buy a lawn mower , we have used two and four stroke petrol mowers , but we were wondering if we should look into the cheaper electric and rechargeable mowers , if you own one let me know if your happy with it E.T.C thank you.

The ones that plug up.... well, they are great for SMALL yards... very small yards.... that cord isn't cheap and you can easy run over it cutting it, and or trip over it..., not to mention you might experience a tangling problem...

Battery powered almost the same way.... good for a SMALL yard..... since the batterys can't really handle big yards... and the taller and tougher the grass... the less run time you will get out of them.... that and the batterys are not cheap.. and you'll probably end up replacing it every 2-3 years.
The upside is..... no oil to change, needs no gas of course.....

While your regular old cheap 3.5 to 4.0hp pushmower, costs around $100-$150 and can last up to or around 10 years with good maintenance on a rather big yard... cheap to fix and cheap to replace... downside is of course the maintenance.... oil changes regularly.... gas, and winter storage (making sure you have fresh, stabilized gas) etc.....

I am thinking of buying one, and would appreciate some input from someone who has used one before. Thank you...

We have had a battery operated lawn mower for two years and are very happy with it. We have almost half an acre to mow and the mower will do about 2/3 of it before it runs out of power. It's nice that way, you have an excuse to stop mowing. It recharges in about three hours.

What should l look for when buying a cordless electric mower?

You need to purchase one with a name brand. If you ever need to have it repaired or get replacement parts, you want one that you will be able to do so.

I need a nice mower. Are the electric ones any good? I don't really want a gas one. I've noticed that there are corded mowers and also ones with rechargeable batteries. Our lawn and our yard isn't that big so I wouldn't really mind the corded ones, but how do they function in comparison to the gas mowers?

Any recommendations?
What kind do you have? I was looking at the corded black and decker one.

Ive been using electric mowers for over 25 yrs,black and decker best ones,i also have a homelite from home depot.Pros its quiet and requires no repairs,but a blade sharpening every couple yrs.Cons you have a cord and cant use when its raining.make sure you buy one with a button to adjust height on all 4 wheels at once.

It's a rechargeable mower, model BMM2400. The battery must be a 24-volt lead acid type.

Try Wal-Mart , Sam's, Sears they should have one for about $29.00 to about $30.00 good luck
