Can electric mowers deal with cutting 2 or 3 inches of grass?

Thanks for any feedback.
A lawn it is a merciless slave driver. Insturctions supposed to cut off not more than 1/3 of its length at a time. The pros will not do it but there are times when it should be mowed twice a week. With all this rain you can probably watch your grass grow and still have time for meals and a nap.

Far as an old mower. If, you take care of it, change the oil. They last close to forever.
Gone are the points, new ones are electronic, it either works or it does not. If, it does not work it is a replacement part. It is an easy job to remove the shroud and clean all the dirt and dead grass out of the cooling fins.
