Just realized my old gas mower was costing me over $200 a year in fuel and maintenance compared to my neighbor's electric one
Honestly, seeing his quiet, clean-running Ryobi that just needs a plug-in charge convinced me to switch after he let me try it last weekend, so what's the best electric model for a quarter-acre yard?

That spaceship cord story is a good warning. I'd be more worried about tripping over it or accidentally running it over with the mower than the electric bill.

That $200 a year savings is a solid point... makes the switch feel urgent. How long is your extension cord run from your outdoor outlet to the farthest part of your yard? That was my big hang-up with a plug-in model.

Wait, you're worried about extension cords? Dude, I ran a 100-footer to the back fence. The real shock was the power bill after I left it plugged in all winter. My neighbor saw the cord and asked if I was trying to power a spaceship.
