Yeah I used to think that.
We just got back from a 3 week trip, where I couldn't find someone who would mow while I was gone. You can imagine what I returned to.
My 5-year-old Kobalt mower from Lowes cut it just as well as a gas push mower would have. I just had to turn the walking speed down a little. And it used more power than usual. The battery died toward the end and I had to finish up the next day.
The worst part was that my Black-and-Decker string trimmer finally gave up the ghost and isn't made anymore. I loved that thing because it was light weight and I didn't have to bump it all the time. The string automatically fed itself as needed. And you can buy the spools already wound.
So I bought a Kobalt trimmer that uses the same batteries as the mower, and it's a complete POS. It's heavy, poorly balanced, and you have to bump it all the time. Worst thing is, it goes through almost a whole spool just to do my little 1/4 acre yard, and you have to rewind it by hand.
By the way, batteries are the whole problem with electric. There is no standardization, so you're buying into a battery standard -- choose wisely. Much as I loved that B&D trimmer, now I've got three perfectly good 40V batteries and nothing you can buy today uses them.
