Cordless Lawn Mowers

Continued:
Cordless electric motors are not only easier on the ears, but they are also easier on the environment. If you want the quiet and environmentally-friendly operation of a push mower with the cutting power of a gas powered motor, then an electric mower may be the ideal choice for you. Twenty-four volt battery-operated mowers have cutting power equivalent to that of a 5 HP gas model, and will get the job done easily enough. Cordless electric mowers do have their disadvantages. If you have a lawn larger than 1/3 of an acre, consider going with a gas powered model since larger lawns will most likely leave you with a dead mower and some uncut grass. As a matter of fact, most cordless mower batteries are good for only one cutting and must be recharged between jobs. Additionally, tall grass, leaves, twigs, and steep inclines will all put excessive strain on your battery. Steep inclines can make it difficult to push the mower because the batteries they require are relatively heavy. Also, be aware that using a bagging attachment will make the mower even heavier as you go along. If you have a relatively flat and small sized lawn, a cordless mower can be a great solution. The Black & Decker CMM1000 is a good example of a cordless mower. The CMM1000 is an environmentally friendly option that has the added bonus of being easy on the ears. Ideal for small lawns and level surfaces, the CMM1000 will do the job quickly and efficiently. For uneven or larger lots, the gas powered or riding mower solution may be more appropriate. The weight of the onboard batteries as well as added weight from a bagging attachment should be a careful consideration for some. The following is a list with some of the top cordless mower models.
