Can anyone recommend a cordless electric lawn mower? I am trying to spend less than $300.?
I purchased an elecric lawn mower last year after a bit of online research. There are several things you will want to consider:
Cordless or with a cord: The cordless is less entangled but may be $100 more costly and may be a bit heavier. I went with the cord which I already had. If you don't you will need to purchase a good one (12 guage)to reach to the ends of your yard. The cord may cost $100.00
How wide do you need? A wider model 20" will be heavier than a more narrow model (18") but you may have to make fewer passes.
A bag? If you are going to get a bag for it then the best configuration is for it to be rear bagging. My lawnmower came with a mulching plug, a bag and can be configured for side discharge.
If you don't get a bag you might want to consider a mulching mower. It chops the grass up and leaves it on the lawn. I use mine to chop up leaves in the fall as well.
