Electric lawnmower maybe?

[Marie Mallory]

I have been using a battery operated weedeater for several years now, and I really like those. They are lighter weight than a gas weedeater, and you do not have to drag a cord around like with the regular electric ones.

This spring, I got a small rechargeable cultivator, and it works really well for what’s I use one for, which is just small cultivating jobs; so I started thinking about getting the small rechargeable lawn mower. I can use it in places where I have been using the weedeater that a lawnmower would also work if it is small, and have decided to try it out and see.
It should be here next week, and i am looking forward to using it.

I have missed being able to use the gas powered ones, but it has just gotten too hard for me to operate them and they are too heavy for me now; but the lightweight rechargeable ones are so nice to use, and no messing with having to mix fuel, either.

e need to change too, Jake uses his often. Csn't buy onee now, but maybe later.

With Amazon returns are easy. So why not try it?

I wish I had seen this thread sooner. According to the negative reviews, the buyer has to pay for return shipping and it didn't sound easy. I hope Yvonne does well with it.

I like it ! The day after it arrived, the Monsoons started here, so it has been sitting in Bobby’s shop until today, when we finally didn’t need a rowboat to navigate the back yard.

Bobby brought the Mini-Mower out and mowed part of the back yard.
It starts and runs easily, did a great job of mowing, and the basket of clippings is just the right size for me to carry and add on the top of plants as mulch.
It should be fine to mulch up some of the blackberry clippings, except for the thick brown old vines, and they will make good mulch also.
I am pleased, and think it will do just what i need it to do.

I wrote to my daughter and told her that I had finally decided it was time to use a walker for my gardening, and sent her the picture of the mower. She laughed and liked it !

Yup people worry that hubby still takes care of the snow in the winter. I tell him he just gets behind the snow blower like a walker.

Greenworks 60v is what SO ordered last night. Grass is in the front only. Neighbor and his teen offered to cut/trim when our grass guy of eight years pulled out of residential work without notice. All was well. This Spring teenager brought the rate up to $50 and SO agreed but biweekly cutting. Sloppy work, not the whole sidewalk or around two trees trimmed. $35 is the going rate. SO retired recently so this gives him an out without starting a neighborhood tiff.

Still eking life out of my old Homelite push mower.

Ordered a pair of compatible lead-acid 12 volt sealed AGM batteries and already put them into the battery case and charged them. Now to figure out where to take the old worn out ones. They sure do weigh a ton for their size.

I ordered a lithium-ion pack and charger to replace that. Much lighter but I got cold feet. I don't want the mower trying to deep-draw power and risk a nasty fire. Tried to cancel the order, but nope. This seems to be intended for an e-bike product range. Rather than return it, I'm using it to suck up extra solar capacity when I charge from panels during the day. I added an XT60 connector to the output pigtail so I can take saved charge and dump it into powerstations via their solar charging ports. My bigger ones all accept the 24 to 26 volts from this LIon pack. The dumb thing is a sealed box with no indicators or even a sheet with detailed power specs. So initial experiments were outdoors with everything spaced apart, monitoring powerstation data carefully. So far so good.
