Electric Lawn Mower
 

Anyone mow their lawn with electric lawn mower?

My neighbor is moving up north and wants to sell his 21" Kobalt self-propelled electric.

Cheers!

I would only consider it if it is cordless, and not more than a year or so old.

My father in law uses one. They dont last too long.

Are you currently mowing your lawn? Are you just thinking about mowing your lawn? Have you ever cut grass? There are plenty of people who have these pieces of junk . I see them taking an hour to cut their grass and then longer to putz around with a battery operated weed eater or edger. To me that is painful and a complete waste of my time. I have all gas equipment and blast through my lawn cutting , edging, trimming and blowing in 30 minutes or less. Cheers!

I and all nearby neighbors here are using battery electric lawn equipment. No one has had issues. Efficient and quiet. Love them.

I’m not a “Greenie” but lawn equip and 2 cycle small engines are quite dirty.

I have 21” Kobalt 80V push mower, Kobalt trimmer and blower. Absolutely love them. Mower is 5 years old and working great. No “fussing” with batteries like someone stated. Just throw one in and go. You will definitely like the self propelled if you have Saint Augustine grass.

Agree! I have the same mower, trimmer, blower, and grass type.. Best investment! No need to keep gas cans in the garage.

My daughter uses one at her place. She says it's fine for a smaller yard.
If a larger yard, I personally would use a gas mower.

Most brands, including kobalt, advertise deck size as mower size. Makita is an exception. A 21" mower has a 21" blade.

If you are shopping mowers I would get a Makita. They produce more tools that use their batteries than anyone else. More than DeWalt or Milwaukee.

In the olden golden days.... have gas can filled for your lawn mowing days. Oh, make sure you have enough oil/gas mix for your accessories, because each accessory is different. Is it 2/1 mix or 3/1 mix? If you are happy with that decision making process on mowing day then go with it. Or, battery is the way to go.

I used one up North. I liked it very much. If I was mowing down here I would use a cordless electric. Check the availability of a replacement battery and cost.

The Kobalt he is selling is a 40 volt self propelled 21 inch.
It's only a year old and he wants $125.00 for it.
He paid $429.95 from Home Depot.

You'll regret a push mower, especially when the "feels like" temps are in the 100's like today and the humidity is like a sponge. You'll likely also likely regret ANY kind of mower after a while. :D I mowed my own with a top of the line Honda mower some guy sold me for $150. It cost him $700 (showed me the receipt) 15 months earlier. I happily mowed my own lawn for the first 2 years I was here (I actually enjoyed it except our small property is one BIG HILL) then I happily sold the mower and even more happily had someone else do it for me. Yes, they don't do the greatest job but when they leave I follow with my own string trimmer. :)

I have a Makita mower (manually driven), Makita blower and Makita string trimmer. These are all 18 volt series systems. I am very impressed with the quality. I get 3-4 cuttings before having to charge the batteries on the mower. I have so many batteries, that I never have to wait for a charged one.

For what it is worth, we also have a Makita stick broom that runs off the same battery system as all the garden equipment. 1 year in, we are happy with our choices.

You are todays problem with your attitude on electric tools. The environment is much more important than you are.
