Seriously considering one. How much can you honesty cut with one battery charge? Any other drawbacks?

My neighbor has one and it is so quiet. I can't even hear it when I'm standing in the front hard while he's mowing.

Don't worry about recharging time. It should charge back up with time to spare while you take a break to blow your boyfriend.

The new Lithium Ion ones look promising. The thing has more torque than a gas mower of comparable size. If my OT Baller yard wasn't so huge I might consider it but my yard guy says no way.

I thought about getting one but opted for a self propelled gas mower since my front lawn has a pretty steep incline

You're that excited about it, huh. I may have to look into one for myself.

Just moved here so I don't have the sq ft but normal subdivision size.

I would say at worst you could do the front, put your battery on the charger, weedeat and blow the front, have a beer, then mow the back.

A friend has one but his yard is the size of a postage stamp. I pay someone to do mine now. It is too damn hot here in DFW.

Would probably be fine for a small yard.

You do realize that 90% of electric energy is coal powered?

I have one - the Ego. You get about 45 minutes to a charge, so it's big enough for an average sized yard. Also, it's so light, I get my 6 year old to cut the grass. He would not be able to handle a gas mower for at least another 4 years.

I have a yard machine, came with 2 batteries. One battery will cut the front and sides for me and I use the second one to do the backyard and still have charge left. Normal size subdivision yard... Beats having to head out and get gas. I'm happy with the purchase
