Consumers today are being more and more conscience of their environmental surroundings when deciding what types of merchandise to buy. When it comes to lawn and garden equipment, electric tools can be a better fit for those who are concerned about environmental hazards. However, many people are skeptical about purchasing electric garden equipment because they are afraid that they will sacrifice quality, power, or speed. Electric Lawn mowers probably receive the most scrutiny of all of the equipment as they require longevity, power, and sometimes speed to get the job done in a timely, efficient manner. There are many advantages to using a lawn mower powered by electricity.
One prime advantage of an electric lawn mower is the fact that you do not have to continually purchase gas and oil to power and maintain your machine. Worrying about messy oil changes and pre-winter gas siphoning are gone, not to mention having to wonder how you will dispose of the hazardous liquids that you are removing. Another part of maintenance that is removed when you use an electric mower are changing spark plugs and air filters. So, in short, by switching to an electric mower saves you in the long run on expenses like gasoline, oil, air filters, and spark plugs, not to mention the mess that is created by maintaining, removal, and disposal of such items.
There many different manufacturers of electric lawn mowers including Black and Decker, Remington, and Neuton. All of these companies offer high end mowers that can compare to conventional gasoline powered mowers. The mowers can be corded, cordless, and rechargeable battery powered. The cordless battery powered mowers are especially good for those who are maintaining larger yards. Electric mowers are much quieter, and lighter in overall weight then gas mowers.
The biggest concern about choosing electric lawn mowers over a gas mower is the sacrifice of power. When it comes to cutting grass, power behind the blade is probably the most important feature in a lawn mower, so that concern is warranted. The manufacturers of electric mowers insist that power has not been sacrificed in order to provide an environmentally friendly, light, and quiet way to maintain your yard.
