I like the fact it runs at the push of a button, it is much quieter than my gas mower was, and I don't have to keep any gas and don't have to get it tuned up. I have a weed hacker, leaf blower and mower now (for outside) and various shop tools that are all DeWalt and love the electric.
I was concerned the electric my not be powerful enough, but that is NOT a problem.
Every time a neighbors yard gets mowed by a roaring gas mower, I smile and feel like I am being a little bit nicer neighbor.

I agree battery power come along nicely, if I had small yard I’d look at EGO. If he going to expect it to bag I would go with Honda. Mowers really don’t need tuneup’s any more. All the need is oil changed, air filter cleaned, and no alcohol gas. After years of use maybe spark plug if you can’t clean carbon off it.
