Rechargeable lawnmower...

[Stephen06GT]

My 25+ year old Craftsman mower is getting a little long in the tooth so I'm looking at new ones. Convince me why I should or shouldn't get a rechargeable unit. If it matters, my yard isn't very big, maybe a 1000 sq.ft. of grass to be cut.

I have a wireless greenworks mower that I've used for a few years. Couldn't be happier and don't need to get gas, oil etc. Virtually no maintenance and will do my whole yard (68x131) I have two batteries in my mower, so they last quite a bit and rotate them to make sure I don't run out of juice.

My dad is on his second. First lasted 10 or so years, would have kept it but a replacement battery wasn't much less than a new one. Does his decently sized suburban lawn (mid 1980s Ancaster) on a charge. No cord hassle, never worry about gas, no pull starting, quiet, no exhaust smell. Only downside is that it doesn't have the power to go through really long grass as well as a good gas one. It'll do it, but you'll be wanting to do a second pass if it's too long.

I remember the thread about you asking for suggestions
My Dad's is now going on 7 years and is still on the same two batteries and he has a mutant lawn that forces him to cut it 3x a week. (good thing he's retired)
When my 22 year old Husqvarna dies (which it wont) I'll be buying the Green Works.

I remember. Lol.
The model you've pictured is the one i have. Really happy with it. Agree with the above, doesn't do an amazing job on long grass, but does well with the weekly mow.

Do they have one that scoops up the dog shit before the mower goes around. Then I’d be all over it.

Lol, I heard a story of a Roomba running through dog crap in the house.
