Cordless Electric Lawn Mowers

Cordless electric lawn mowers are great on small and medium sized lawns and they vary in size and performance. All models weigh less than 100 lbs, making them easier to handle. They require no oil changes, filter changes, new spark plugs and no extension cords. Most models come with 1-3 12V batteries, but options are available. In fact the only down fall to these mowers is that even with the new technology available, they still are not efficient enough to withstand the battery life it takes to mow a large lawn.

Convenience

This quiet mower is as loud as a washing machine, making those early Saturday mornings and late summer nights great times of the day to mow your lawn. Neighbors will never know what’s going on next door. Electric lawn mowers cause less pollution than gasoline powered mowers and though they’re a little more expensive at the purchase (approx. $500.00) they make up for it in the long run by only costing $3-$4 per year in electricity. Subtract all of the maintenance costs and enjoy the one time price.

What to Look For

Before buying a cordless electric lawn mower you should first make sure that this is the right type for you. Look at your yard. What are the conditions? These types of mowers cut dryer lawns for longer periods of time at full strength. Run time always depends on height and texture of the grass, moisture levels and terrain. Of course you can always accessorize or upgrade the voltage of your battery. 12V’s last between 30-40 minutes, 24V’s last 40-75 minutes and 36V’s last up to 90 minutes.
