All the Reasons to Buy a Cordless Electric Lawn Mower
Electric lawn mowers have a lot going for them. They are quiet, economical to
run, require very few repairs, and don’t pollute the air. But those cords! It’s
so annoying to constantly flip the cord out of your way, and you have to have a
very long extension cord if you have a big lawn. Well, a cordless electric lawn
mower gives you all the advantages of an electric mower without the hassle of
the cord.
A cordless electric lawn mower runs on battery power. Most cordless mowers have
a 24 volt battery, but they are also available with 12 and 36 volt batteries.
The higher voltages give you a longer running time, so if you have a very large
lawn, you may want a mower with a 36 volt battery. Bigger batteries weigh more
though, so try to find the best compromise between weight and cutting time.
The battery on a cordless electric lawn mower is charged by plugging the machine
into a standard electrical outlet. Most models will automatically stop charging
when they’ve reached their capacity, so you won’t be wasting electricity. Simply
plug the mower in after each use and it will always be charged and ready to go.
A cordless electric lawn mower is suitable for lawns of up to about 1/3 of an
acre. You can cut bigger lawns than that but you may have to re-charge in the
middle of the job. Alternatively you can have a spare battery and simply put in
a fresh one when the first one is used up.
A cordless electric lawn mower is very quiet. Your neighbors and your family
will appreciate how quiet these machines are. You will be able to cut the lawn
earlier in the morning and later in the evening without annoying anyone.
These mowers are also easy to maintain. A cordless electric lawn mower doesn’t
require messy oil changes and there is no need to keep dangerous gasoline in the
garage. Their emission-free operation makes them environmentally friendly – very
important when air pollution laws are becoming stricter all the time.
A cordless electric lawn mower is also cheap to operate. The average cost for
electricity is about $10 per year – a fraction of the cost for gasoline mowers
which require gas, oil and regular maintenance.
Cordless electric lawn mowers are becoming more popular every year and it’s not
hard to figure out why. They are clean, quiet and cheap to operate, making a
cordless electric lawn mower the ideal lawn mower for the 21st century.
