re: Electric Mower - worth it?

Just depends on the size of the yard. I used a Neuton for 8 years before it gave up the ghost.

It's super light and incredibly easy to use. It's quiet and I can't think of a better mower for a small yard. Replacement batteries are cheap (reuse the factory housing)

It's a million times better than gas...unless you need a gas mower. Just really depends on lawn size.
