Okay
Anyone have an electric push mower?

Thoughts, feelings, reviews of it?

@0x56 only half so. I got some odd spots it would get stuck at and the yard is a fenced section and no fence section that I'd have to move it between.

I also have a teenager that needs things to do. And a fat ass that I need to get moving some too.
My ride-on died and I've been paying someone, but he got all pissy because he ran over dog shit and it was on the tire of his mower 🙄
I told him to give me a day heads up before he shows, which he didn't do, so I'm not upset he ran over some. 🤷‍♂️

@Kurtroedeger @0x56 On a large yard it comes down to 2 words.

Cable management.

So go for a good battery operated one. Then it can be a pleasure to use, if you don't let the grass become a jungle for hobbitses. Good for low impact arm exercise, unless in a jungle. Again. And check the height of the handle bar, because slouching makes it hell.

And you need a trimmer on top since it is not a delicate finishing machine for edges.

@Fiikus_goddess @0x56
I have battery and plugin trimmer to use. I'm thinking battery one with self propelled feature. Costco has Green works brand and I know there is a no questions return policy with Costco if it doesn't work out.

@Fiikus_goddess @0x56 and since the one I'm looking at is self propelled, I could get a good 60% of the lawn mowed by staking the center point and fixing a rope on the mower then letting it go. 😏

@Kurtroedeger @0x56

Welp, If you are looking for more fishing trips to your cardiologist, remote controlled lawn mower that looks like a tank is your best bet!

@0x56 @Kurtroedeger

I didn't say it was a good option! But it is an option.😝

@Fiikus_goddess @0x56

😱😱😱 I expected pricey with 0x56 note on being expensive. But $63 K for the cheapest 😱😱😱

An electric riding mower is $7k, I feel like adding remote control to that would cost less than $56k

@Kurtroedeger We had a battery mower and I loved it! It was quieter and cut the grass just like a regular gas mower. I don't think an electric one is good cuz, you have to be aware of that cord all the time.

@Kurtroedeger you have a big lawn, right?

I’d say go for bigger voltage and two batteries. I had a decent sized lawn and couldn’t do it all in one battery

@Beanc 1/2 ish acre to mow, the rest is wetlands woods that gets no mowing.

@Kurtroedeger yeah I think mine was about a quarter acre. I could *almost* finish the backyard.

But if you have two batteries, you can just swap it out mid-mow.

Usually they’ll have deals where they run bonus battery or whatever.

@Kurtroedeger I've been considering one, and though I haven't used one, I did check Consumer Reports, and this is the highest rated one on CR: ryobitools.com/products/detail

@Kurtroedeger But I would love one! My yard is medium-sized and a bit lumpy, though -- so I'm not sure how an electric mower would work. I've found with my electric weed whacker, the key to not wanting to throw it into the trash is having an extra battery (the battery life is very meh)
