Switch to an electric lawnmower today! It helps you use less gasoline, which can save you money on fuel. Electric lawnmowers (brands like Ego and Black and Decker) are more efficient than lawnmowers that run on fuel (brands like Toro and Powersmart). They run quietly, so you can mow your yard without bothering your neighbors. Plus, they don’t produce emissions, making them better for the environment and helping to clean the air. With features like easy starting, lightweight design, and low maintenance, an electric lawnmower can be a better way to mow!

I bought into the EGO system when I moved in in 2020. I have the push mower, the chainsaw, and the multi-head thing which can be a weedwacker, polesaw, or hedgetrimmer depending on attachment. The part of my property that I mow is about 0.5 acres, and it takes 2-3 of the 10Ah batteries to get through that, depending on the conditions. It's about a 2 hour activity, so probably about the upper limit of what you'd want to do with that particular mower, but it works pretty well. It's quiet and easy to turn on and off when you need to. The other tools have all worked well for me too. Trees really like to fall down on my yard, and so far I've been able to dismantle all of them with said equipment.

I've loved our electric lawnmower and weedwacker for several years and highly recommend.
Last year I was gifted an electric pole saw to help manage our heavily tree-covered property and the ongoing need to steward the branch entanglement. Soon after I had the opportunity to use a full-sized electric chainsaw, a Husquvarna, and loved it. So much cleaner than a gas-powered, but the model was corded and I often need to access more remote spaces. Fortunately, Husquvarna's current electric chainsaw models are all cordless, battery powered. They're pricier than gas-powered models, but I bit-the-bullet and ordered one. It was a long wait-time and I hope the company's commitment to high-volume production, transition from gas-powered, improves. But the battery-powered chainsaw arrived earlier this summer and it's great so far. Easy to operate and maintain, equally powerful - if not moreso given the immediate full torque available with electric motors - and as portable as I need. The battery life has been sufficient for my needs to-date and the cadence of my approach on projects, but I think having 2 batteries would make longer project chunks easier.
When we purchase lawn care and gardening equipment, it's always electric! We recently switched from a gas-powered cultivator for the garden to an electric one.

While we work towards converting most of our property to a polinator meadow, much of it will need to be mowed for the forseeable future, particularly along the edges of the proerty where the forest understory would love to take over the to-be meadow. The electric lawnmower has made that much less of a chore. Amazingly, the E-Go mower we bought seems to be able to plow through overgrown grass and even foot-high underbrush without hesitation (on its amazing 8" height setting). On top of that, it is quiet! Who could have imagined a lawnnmower without the roar? The battery last about an hour and recharges in about half that time, giving me an excuse for a cool drink on the porch.

We've made the switch to all electric out door tools, Lawn mower, blower, chainsaw, weed wacker. They all work as good as or better than the gas powered tools they replaced. The other plus is how quiet they are and how easy to start they are. We're very happy with the switch and it's been over a year.

I cannot emphasize enough my joy at not handling gasoline for outdoor power equipment. First, the bad news: We still have a gas-powered chain saw and snow blower. And we have a gas powered generator for emergencies. BUT we've replaced our lawnmower and weed wacker with electric equivalents and purchased an electric leaf blower. The electric tools perform as well or better than their fossil fuel counterparts, without the hassle, smell, and use of gasoline. Attach battery and off you go. No spills, no noxious fumes. I know that 2-cycle engines are particularly bad polluters which is why the chainsaw is next to go electric. The electric tools also operate much more quietly--something I'd like to point out to the lawn services still using gas-powered equipment and the racket they inflict. I look forward to the day, hopefully soon, when we will be entirely electric in all our power equipment.
Switch to electric! It's so much quieter, and very efficient. The battery charges quickly, and the blade can stand up to thick, wet grass, as…
