Cordless Electric Lawn Mower

A cordless electric lawn mower is much like a gas powered lawn mower in that is utilizes horizontal blades to cut the grass. But unlike gas powered mowers, electric mowers are much quieter and are less expensive to use, around $5 per season. They also require less maintenance than a gas mower.

If you are like so many of us out there, you are trying to live a greener lifestyle. Electric mowers are also much better for air quality than gas mowers. The only drawback in this is that cordless electric mowers use a lead-acid battery and the production and disposal of these is an environmental issue. Avoiding the hassle of having to buy gas and oil is said to be a definite plus with many owners.

An advantage if you are choosing between a corded electric mower and a cordless one is that you are not restricted in your range and flexibility while mowing because you don't have to worry about being attached to a cord.

That being said, cordless electric lawn mowers are heavier because of the battery than corded mowers, but they are lighter than gas mowers.

Most do not have leaf bags to purchase or if they do, they don't work very efficiently; but they are usually very good at mulching. One nice feature they have is that the handles fold nicely to make storage easier.

Use time usually ranges from 30-60 minutes, around enough time to mow 1/4-1/3 of an acre. There are a few models that allow you to change out batteries while you are mowing, thus limiting the area you can mow only by the numbers of batteries you have.

If you are becoming more environmentally conscientious, tired of having your ears assaulted by gas mowers, and tired of the maintenance involved with a gas mower, a cordless electric lawn mower may be exactly what you are looking for!
