I have a fairly big lawn and I've heard electric mowers are easier to use and maintain. Is this true? What are the drawbacks? How often do they break down?

Which would you rather have... A Dodge Neon or a Porsche Carrera? I rest my case!...

Craftsman Electric Lawn Mowers are quieter, more energy-efficient and less expensive alternatives to gas-powered mowers with providing ample power ...

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.

Price: $435.16

Corded electric lawn mower with 12 amp motor for plenty of power for mulching or bagging
2-year limited warranty; includes rear bag assembly and rear mulching insert
Cushioned grip and handle height adjustment for comfortable operation

the do not use gas for them and it is cleaner for the environment.
they seem to be mandating the use of everthing else but the use of these two thing

Why should they? They do enough of that.

Just because it doesn't use gas doesn't mean its clean. There is a pretty good chance the electricity came from a coal power plant.

Electric snow blower? Water and electricity make a poor combination.

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.....

the really cool ones are cordless and will mow up to a quarter acre on a single charge., which is about all we want to mow before taking a lemonade break.
