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?

I had an electric one a few years ago. They are light and easy to push. My problem was my lawn was to big and it was hard to keep playing with the cord to keep it behind you. I haven’t seen the one with rechargeable batteries

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.

I prefer an electric one, my husband used to think he preferred gas until we got an electric one. His only complaint is the cord…but then again, he doesn’t vacum so he’s not used to manuvering around a cord.

If you don’t mind the cords they last a long time. Just make sure to read your owners manual carefully.
