The EGO battery operated lawn mower.

[rightwinger]

Blasphemy!

Y'all go on ahead with that electric bullshit, I'm stickin' with my John Deere and Echo weed whacker.

I bought an EGO Lawn Mower and have a Dewalt weed whacker

Not going back to gas

 

[iamwhatiseem]

I have no problem starting my weed whacker, and it probably has twice the balls of any electric one.

Hell, the 1st weed whackers were electric.

And they sucked. The first battery powered tools also sucked.

A lot of people love their EV mowers. I do mine. As you note, quiet and lightweight. Now others have to chime in "It won't work for me".

No one is demanding you buy one.

I have not tried to prevent you from owning a electric mower

But wacko greenies in california are banning gas powered mowers

So who is the enemy of of who?

Yes they are when they wont allow you to buy anything else

Absolutely. There is no comparison.
No getting gas, no oil, no cleaning filters, no smoke, no first time starting issues - and 1/4 the noise.

Agreed, there should be choice.
With more devices going electric while the grid is being reduced, should be seen as folly.
The battery on mine last less than an hour on Low and then needs nearly as long to charge.
And there are some limits on the power versus gas, not to mention the tank fills quicker than the battery charges.
For most of my needs the battery one will do, but there are times and places where I will use the gas one still.

I like how easy it is to turn on and off.
No wondering if the mower will start
You can mow a little bit, stop and do something else and start back up by pushing a button.

 

[Blues Man]

My yard?
1/3 acre is not postage stamp size in the city. At all.
That is right there on the precipice between mowing with a push mower or riding mower.

Yeah it is.

1/3 of an acre is a puny plot of land.

It's small enough to do with a reel mower

If you take care of your equipment you never have to wonder if the engine will start.

I know my tractor will start up every spring and every time I use it all summer

I also have a solar clothes dryer

I also have a solar clothes dryer

At least that will actually save you money.

I never use the dryer if I can help it

Lib greenies are even to blame for gas powered starting problems since their fear of global warming gave us ethanol in the gasoline which turns to crap in the winter

How much maintenance on an electric mower?

 

[Blues Man]

How much maintenance on an electric mower?

Don't care as I will never own one.

I spend less than 2 hours a season on maintenance of my gas powered tools

 

[Mac-7]

How much maintenance on an electric mower?

No one is trying to take your electric mower away from you

But libs are trying to ban gasoline mowers

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Yeah it is.

Not in the city. Do you need an explanation of what a city is?

I don't care where it is 1/3 of an acre is a small lot that you can mow with a reel mower in no time. There is no way 1/3 of an acre needs a riding mower no matter where it is.

 

[Concerned American]

Blasphemy!

Y'all go on ahead with that electric bullshit, I'm stickin' with my John Deere and Echo weed whacker.

If I had a postage stamp yard--maybe. But with the yard I've got, I'm not giving up the gas yard tractor, weed whacker, blower or chain saw. Electric will never replace those. As for "hard to start"-- if you burn all the gas out of it each time you use it, it won't be hard to start.

Uh.. at what point did I say I have a riding mower?

 

[HeyNorm]

I have one. Third year with zero running issues.

My only issue is keeping it clean, can’t just spray it off.

Ease of use is number 1 in my book. Got a larger yard? The batteries take 45 minutes to charge. Beer time.
