Do NOT listen to the anti battery crowd. They work great. Size of yard is only thing to consider.
Meh, there's no comparison in the power/effectiveness of my Echo trimmer against the 40v Ryobi that I still own.
I do agree if the yard is small, they're fine enough. But great is a bit of an overstatement imo.

Got my dad a 40W Kobalt electric mower from Lowe's (he used a corded one before). He loves it.

I agree, I really appreciate the feedback guys this was the information that I needed I think I’ll wait till later in the summer and try and get a great deal on a sale and start doing this next spring summer

After first trying the EGO 56V blower - that works great, I purchased the EGO 56V, 21 inch cordless mower. I have a small yard and the battery life on the mower isn’t an issue. The battery is supposed to last 45 minutes on a single charge and it takes me about 25 or 30 minutes to mow my entire yard. It was time for a new push mower and I was tired of messing with gas cans, oil and the smell of gas in my garage. There are several pretty good video reviews of the EGO mower out there and I did plenty of research before buying. This is the first summer I’ve had this mower and I’ve been pretty impressed so far. It’s lightweight and easy to maneuver and this past week the grass was really tall after the extra rain we had from Barry and I had no issues.
Hope this helps.

When did they start the home and garden board, I didn’t even know that existed.

I've got this Snapper XD 82V, 21" mower and I couldn't be any happier. It's a beast. I've got the push version instead of the self propelled.

What made you decide on the push version?

Great isn't an overstatement for 95% of yards.
If you're trimming St Aug around a sidewalk and fence, the electric trimmer is arguably better than an overpowered gas trimmer, and that's what most people in this area actually trim.
I've said it before in one of these threads, but I'm genuinely curious of a residential situation where an electric trimmer won't get the job done effectively?

I think it was like $100 cheaper or so, I could use the extra workout, and I figured a self propelled electric mower was too much of a hit to my manhood.
My yard is relatively flat too. It's not a problem or even noticeable to push.

Aren’t the electric ones incredibly light anyways? I haven’t pushed one around myself because they’re all up on the display rack at Home Depot

Friend of mine has a lawnscaping business for commercial and residential...
he uses an electric when he has to get small areas cut that his machines can't get into but too big for trimmers...
he likes them...

Yeah it's lighter than the gas mower I had.
The 82V batteries are heavy, but still not to the level of a gas engine. Mine came with two batteries. They charge in 30 minutes and last like 45, so you could cut in perpetuity if you wanted.
The Snapper has a variable speed brushless motor designed to increase/decrease rpms depending on the grass. It will ramp up in thick St. Aug or taller grass as necessary. I love mine so far. Have had it for 6 months now.

My lot is 140x90 and has open such drainage in the front that needs trimming. Ryobi 40v isn't enough to get everything just on charge, let alone the actual power in dealing with the ditch.

If you've got an open ditch I can see it to an extent.
Neighborhood stuff is easily handled by an electric trimmer.

, true, but I find myself cutting the yard more often with the electric mower out of sheer enjoyment. It's ready to go right away, so I can jump outside and make a pass in sub 30 minutes. The height of my St Aug is rarely a problem as a result. I've still got a gas blower, but as soon as it craps out I'm buying the Snapper 82V blower. I'll have an electric mower, trimmer, blower, chainsaw, and pole saw at that point.
