Lawn Mowers - What are your experiences with gas vs cordless electric?
Well, my dad really feels like he needs to buy me a new lawnmower. I have a herniated disc in my back so he came over to cut my lawn while I was at work. I haven't seen the damage yet but he called me to tell me that he needs to buy me a new lawnmower... and that the trampoline needs a new leg. I really don't know what he did but the lawnmower won't start anymore and the blade is all bent to hell in a handbasket.
I pretty much only mulch when I cut the grass, but I don't really like the hastle of dealing with oil changes and the extra maintenance that a gas mower needs. Now a gas power lawnmower can easily mulch. I know that electric mowers mulch too, but I want to know people's experiences with electric mowers and mulching. Are you happy with the job it does or is the gas powered mowers that much better?
This mower used to belong to my dad, he bought it 18 years ago when I worked at Canadian Tire and told him that he needed to get a gas mower instead of his electric mower. That electric mower was probably 15 years old at that time, and it struggled immensely with longer grass. Electric mowers are much more powerful these days but would I be happy with one when I mulch? I pretty much only mulch. What are your experiences with mulching with a cordless electric mower? Is it worth it or should I just stay with gas?
