The battery mower just didn’t have enough suction for me. It left clippings or leaves behind and progressively lost power over the couple of seasons. Went back to gas powered and I am glad I did.

How big is the lot and are you looking at ride on or no? We have 1/2 acre and have a Ryobi ride on. Works great.

2.1 acres. But the grass area is about 5000 sq ft. No riding mower.

I've had my Ego about 4 years, I'll never go back to gas.

The biggest Honda they sell. I think it's the GCV200 engine.

Just make sure you use an ethanol free gas or a ethanol removal additive

That’s the first negative take I’ve read on an electric mower. Most are happy with the switch. Easy start and no fumes.

There are a few others on CB that agree with me and prefer gas powered.

I didn’t get 75% of that, but the one I tried was a Ryobi. Don’t know which model, but it was $499. Couldn’t cut zoysia

Yep. Electric hated my southern grass. Way happier with gas.
