Has anyone gone the path of these new electric push mowers?

I don't do yard work.

The lawn service at my weekend place sometimes doesn’t cut parts as short as I would like.

what kind of grass do you have?

(no message)

Really thin native grass not thick at all.

My neighbor has I THINK Ryobi brand mower and weed eater. It's green and I have never had a reason to go near him when he is mowing his lawn so that is why I think it's Ryobi.

He has an average sized lawn and it gets the job done. He has had it for about 2 years now.

FYI, the mower is insanely quiet.

Yep. The blower is only thing that makes a bit of noise. It is very powerful though. Almost as strong as my old fancy gas one I lost in a divorce.

Can't praise this equipment enough. I was a big skeptic myself.

Husqvarna has one of those electric/autonomous mowers, like a Roomba but for your yard. Saw one working the High School yard the other day, it's really cool.

I have the mower and weed eater. I have a quarter acre lot, and the battery life for my equipment is just fine if the grass is a reasonable height. The first time I cut it the yard was overgrown, and the battery died about 85% of the way through the cut. I think they advertise that the charge will last for a half acre lot, but the grass would have to be short and dry and you’d have to quickly cut it.

My weed eater cuts the lot no problem with at least half a charge remaining (so in theory I could weed eat twice on one charge). The mower is really only good for one cut before it needs another charge.

In terms of the cut quality, it’s great. Ryobi makes great products in my experience. The mower is also ridiculously quiet. You can cut your grass at 6am on a Saturday and no one would be the wiser

I bet these are popular in Austin, Marge. Obviously the answer is No. mow your yard like a man.

I bought a kobalt 80v from Lowe’s in 2016. Been using it ever since for my lot in a cul de sac. Doesn’t bog down and kill like a gas mower but thick/wet grass drains the battery much faster.

After thousands of times pulling cords on mowers and weed eaters and getting pissed off, ready to throw the damn things when they won’t start - I went electric. Love it.
