Are you considering purchasing an electric lawn mower?
The Best Reasons to Buy an Electric Lawn Mower
- You don't have to purchase gasoline to power it.
- They don't require oil changes or engine maintenance.
- It's a more environmentally-friendly choice than gas-powered mowers. A typical gas-powered push mower emits about as much pollution in an hour of use as 11 cars do.
- They are less noisy than gas-powered lawn mowers.
- You don't need to pull a cord to start them; you can merely push a button.
- Electric-powered lawn mowers are best for smaller, flatter lawns. (Corded electric lawn mowers will go as far as your extension cord allows and cordless lawn mowers will run for about 45 minutes per charge. Electric mowers are also not self-propelled--you must push them.)
- Corded electric lawn mowers weigh less than other mowers do.
