I bought a corded electric mower from canadian tire under duress 2 years ago(my gas one broke and my lawn was starting to look like a wild field). it's got power, was cheap and its super light and easy to maneuver (which would be good for your back). sounds pretty good right? wrong. never buy corded. never. My lawnmower is going to be the death of me. Either i'm going to run over the cord and electrocute myself or i'm going to suffer a massive coronary episode from the stress of avoiding running over the cord, or from the anger it causes when it gets caught on something (at somepoint last year, im pretty sure the chord got caught up because of a leaf. A FU*&ing LEAF!!). learn from my mistakes, if you're going to go electric, get a cordless. as frustrating as running out battery power might sound, its nothing compared to having your lawnmower constantly succumb to the evils of a hung up cord which results in it coming a jerked halt. it's like when your earbuds get yanked out of your ears due to a wayward doorknob, but 10 times worse.

edit; im getting too angry just thinking about it, i have to go lie down now.
