Just make sure the blades are knife sharp or you will be wishing you had that

Maybe one day they will make a solar mower. By then I hope to have a mostly
solar and wind energized home.

My point is, if you have to mow more than half inch with a push mower, you will
die of heat stroke! You may have to mow twice a week.

Anyone have any experience with the new robot mowers?

maybe "Asimo" will cut your grass for you Rev.

Gotta love Japanese culture.

While I like the environmental aspect of using an electric lawnmower
(presumably the fuel they burned producing the electricity that recharged the
battery was cleaner, or better yet hydro-power), I haven't found one that has
the 'grunt' of a decent gas powered mower.

I have better than a half acre to mow, and anything less than my 6 horse Ariens
just doesn't do the job.

Has anyone had experience with a cordless electric mower that has the grunt and
battery capacity (2 hours or so) to replace the gas models?
