As long as it does the whole yard, that's fine but it costs twice as much as it's gas counter part.
We've had a mower for like 7 years and I don't think we've ever changed the spark plug, definitely haven't winterized it and i only fill the gas tank like every 3 times i now. It is also primerless and only requires more than one pull the first start of the season. Oh and I think I changed the oil once for the hell of it. Sure it could use it again but I don't really care to be bothered with it at this point.
Electric also has the same dangerous part (the giant spinning heavy sharpened piece of metal) although maybe someone wouldn't want to deal with the noise
I want to like e-equipment but I just don't see it being any easier than gas especially for a mower.
My comment about less functional was directed more towards chainsaws and such. That's where I could see electric being a benefit. Chainsaws always leak fluids when they sit and they are used (by the average homeowners) very infrequently which means the fluids sit or leak out. So electric could be a nice and easy. I'm just not seeing it with the mower no matter how hard I try. If they were a little closer in price, I would probably go with either one. And I guess they're closer to Honda prices but you can definitely get a mower for closer to $300.
