I have an EGO mower from Home Depot and it's great. While it's not as powerful as a gas mower, it has more than enough power for normal people use. The battery is usually around 20% after mowing the front and back of our average size suburban yard. An advantage it has over gas (beyond the obvious not using gas) is that it folds up nicely and can be stored vertically or even hanging up. It's light enough that my wife is comfortable using it. The battery charges faster than I assumed, maybe 30 minutes to full.
The cons would be that the battery will likely only last 5 years (guess) and that the battery is heavy and somewhat difficult to remove from the mower. I've also had to slow down the mowing speed if the grass is especially long or damp.
