Electrics are OK if you have a small, regular shaped lawn with good access to an outlet. If there are any obstacles in the way, dealing with the cord can be a huge pain. There's also the rechargable option. My neighbour has one of those rechargables and it is only able to do his smallish yard so long as the grass is not too long. I've got a gas mulching mower and love it versus the electric I was using before. The only maintenance I do at the beginning of the season is flushing out the old fuel and cleaning the plug. (And checking the oil, but so far it hasn't needed any.)
