Electric lawn mowers are primarily designed to be operated near a home or other source with the ability to use electricity. They cause fewer problems with neighbors and do not need regular maintenance. But it would be dishonest on my part to keep silent about the fact that they are less maneuverable compared to gasoline counterparts and should not be used in rainy weather. At the same time, electric lawn mowers are easier to start and do not emit exhaust gases. They differ in cost, functionality, power.
BLACK + DECKER LM2000
