Convenient Mowing With A Cordless Electric Lawn Mower
We all have our personal preferences when it comes to mowing the grass. Sometimes the influence for that preference will come from the size of the lawn, or from the terrain, or from the weight and convenience of the mower. One key factor to always consider with an electric mower is whether you want a cordless mower or not.
Most electric mowers come with a cord, so that you can plug into a convenient power outlet and mow to your heart’s content. A lot of people, though, do not like to have a cord trailing them every where they go and mow. Let’s face it, the cord is something of an inconvenience, and some would even say it is a hazard. To be fair to manufacturers, the electrical safety standards of modern mowers are excellent, so whether you go for a cordless electric mower, or one with a traditional cord, always follow the safety instructions with great care. All mowers are potentially dangerous if the user is careless, and most hospitals will confirm they regularly have patients who come in after a mower accident.
One of the major drawbacks of a cordless electric mower is the need for recharging. This may have meant in the past that cordless mowers were only suitable for small lawns. That is no longer necessarily so. Take a popular example, the Black & Decker CMM1200 19-Inch 24-Volt Cordless Electric Mulching Lawn Mower. Black and Decker claim this mower, on full charge, can mow a 1/3 acre lawn on one charge. How many of us have a 1/3 of an acre lawn to worry about? Not so many, I would hazard a guess. I would just love a lawn of that size.
That means that the Black & Decker CMM1200 cordless electric lawn mower is adequate for most gardens, and even suitable for very large lawns. So you can save money on that tempting ride on lawn mower and forget about the hard work of a push lawn mower. The Black & Decker CMM1200, by the way, has more than 350 customer reviews at Amazon, with an average rating of 4 stars. Its adjustable cutting heights are convenient and simple, and the power of the 1200 watt magnetic motor is more than most will need.
If the Black and Decker is not for you, another popular maker is Neuton. A fine example is the Neuton CE 5.2 14-Inch 24-Volt Cordless Electric Discharge/Mulching/Bagging Lawn Mower with Removable Battery. Reputed to be the “quietest rotary mower available" by the Noise Pollution Clearinghouse, the Neuton CE 5.2 Battery-Powered Mower is well worth a look.
