I switched to all electric stuff last year. (Disclaimer: I have a New Orleans-sized yard - usually about 30-45 minutes to cut, edge and blow.)

The Kobalt mower is great - never had issues with the battery or strength and it cuts great. A full charge is usually good for at least two cuts. I have the Home Depot stuff for the trimmer and blower (Ryobi?) It's not great quality, but it was cheap, does the job and I can usually edge and blow on one battery.

If you have a small yard, it's WAY fricking better than dealing with hunting down non-ethanol gas, crank starting and all that other business.

I haven't seen this in a minute on newer push gas mowers. The last few I've had, didn't have it.

Several threads on the Home/Garden board and you'll get better info there.

EGO is probably the best. Go to home depot and buy one. You have 90 days to return it if you don't like it.

I’m over 40 and can’t clean a carb. And it doesn’t bother me at all. Luckily for me I made at least a few good life choices along the way and I get to pay people like you to do it for me.

If your yard is small enough for an electric mower and you are not a wimp asss punk, get an old fashioned reel mower powered by your legs.

FTR, the blade turning in the grass makes almost as much noise as a gas engine does. Electric doesn't like uneven ground or exposed roots either
