I bought a really nice gas mower a few years back and figured it would last me a long time. Had it professionally tuned up about a year ago. Couldn't get it started for the life of me (dirty carb as I later discovered).

So I went on the local classifieds and scooped up a used-twice (they gave up and hired a lawn company lol) 40v push mower with the 6-amp battery and charger. Mower still looked brand new. it takes up such little space when folded up - we love it. Sometimes I can't tell if it's running when wearing my ANC earbuds while mowing lol

But I'm so done with small-engine gas powered lawn care equipment. It's dirty, messy, heavy, and unreliable. My electric lawn tools have been so much more reliable and comfortable.
