electric lawn mowers?
they should be good on small yards when i was mower mechanic they
where never very popular as you have the power lead to consider when mowing not to say you can get electricuted that easily but when you cut the lead you need to get a newy usually. the flymo electrics if you like that cutting system where about the best nice and light steer clear of those black and orange thingies i reckon made to throw away. not as powerful as petrol engine models and lots quieter of course not more environmently friendly than a petrol engine model well a 4 stroke that is.

He managed to cut the cord twice, but survived OK. It did a good job, but you have to keep the lawn mowed regularly. If you let the grass get long it becomes difficult for the flymow to cut as the long grass slows its movement and overloads the motor as it tries to cut. The same applies to petrol mowers too, of course, but they have enough grunt to bash through the tall stuff.. |

I have an electric roller mower.
I wouldn't go back to the old petrol one. Just plug it in and off you go. Does a real good job. cheers Nancy "woods" wrote in message u...

"woods" wrote in message u... that would be the www.enviromower.com.au also heard good things about it. Hmmmm......Is it as environmentally friendly as they claim? It requires recharging by mains electricity which in Australia is generated by burning coal. In Victoria, the green house gas emissions from electricity (generated from brown coal) are much greater than those from the transport sector. Probably no better environmentally than a petrol mower and perhaps worse. The environmentally superior alternative is a push mower or, better, a native garden that needs neither cutting nor watering. |
