I've never had an electric mower, but I have had an electric weed eater
and an electric leaf blower. I'm sticking to gas/petrol for now
because when the electric ones break, I can't fix them. I can usually
get a gas engine running again. I suspect that there are plenty of
small engine specialists out there to help also if you're not
interested in working on it yourself. I figure that the reduction in
greenhouse gases is not worth the trash in the landfill. I would think
that the electric mower could do the job if you mow regularly and keep
the blades sharp.
