The new electric-battery powered lawn mowers seem 180
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 19th, 2024 10:33 AM Author: Self-absorbed kitchen Got tired of dealing with unreliable retarded lawn guys, so I bought a mower of my own. It, like most of the others offered at Home Depot now, uses a re-chargable lithium battery. Seems 180 so far- was only 350 bucks yet it cranks with the push of a button (no cord-pulling), requires no gas or even oil, and is much quieter than the gas-powered ones.

Date: March 19th, 2024 10:38 AM Author: Flirting jade theater rigpig must be a 180 feeling to mow your own lawn on a Saturday morning only to have the battery crap out 3/4 of the way through then spend the entire day with a retarded looking yard while it recharges and then having to get up on Sunday morning to finish the job instead of sleeping in.

so why do you have such a strong opinion on gas versus electric landscaping equipment if you don't do landscaping? and how informed is your opinion anyway if you don't use it?
this like if i said "titleist is far superior to ping" and then admitted i don't play golf. what? |

Date: March 19th, 2024 10:48 AM Author: charismatic address i've had a battery powered mower for 3 years now. i'm also into mechanics and did small engine repair when younger, so i'm fine with a gas powered stuff.
if your angle here is convenience i don't think it's any contest -- even when properly maintained gas tools are going to have more problems when used by a homeowner.
gas tools are superior if you need power and long run times (e.g. professionals). electric are superior for almost every other household task. how long have when been using battery powered hand tools over plug-ins and air powered? |

i was a gasmo up until a couple years ago. yes, historically the electric shit was junk. but now battery tech has caught up. my electric mower and weedwacker do fine on a fairly large and landscaped property. |

how does this conflict with what i said?
most homeowners don't need to routinely use a chainsaw. chainsaws require a lot more power than cutting grass and trimming shit. chainsaws go outside of the "almost every" bucket. |

...that's what I did with my dewalt battery leaf blower, except instead of two leaf blowers, I bought 5 backup batteries. I can blow leaves indefinitely now, because each battery has a charger and once I blow through a battery, it goes right back on its charger. By the time I get through all five, the first one is charged. |

Plus I have a few feet behind my fence that a ZTR can't get to so I'd need a second shitmower too to keep that up.
