Lawn Mower purchase?
I need to buy a new lawn mower. I think I want electric powered because it is quieter and doesn't produce so much pollution as a gas mower.It was suggested that I buy one that is self propelled but I can't find seem to find any. What are your feelings about gas vs electric and push vs self propelled? I want to spend no more than $250 or so. Thank you.
Trade in your old gasoline-powered mower for a new manual model or an electric corded or rechargeable cordless lawn mower. You'll save time and money-and help the environment.
Manual mowers are excellent for small lawns. They are inexpensive, quiet, easy to maintain and healthy to use.
Electric mowers work well for small to medium lawns. Modern pollution controls required for utility plants make this option much cleaner than gasoline mowers.
Electric mowers are:
Inexpensive to operate—about $5 per year for electricity.
Easy to maintain—no costly engine tune-ups or messy oil changes.
Clean—no spilled oil or gasoline, no exhaust fumes, significantly reduced air pollution.
Quiet—about half the noise of gasoline mowers.
Easy to start—push-button starting, no more yanking on a starter cord.
