Since I feel like I can trust all of you here, because I got so much help
from you before, I feel good asking you this question again. We are
seniors and can't really pull the cord on our lawn mower anymore. We are
being told that Honda is the mower to get. Do they have electric mowers as
well? Should we get an electric one with the cord that you have to pull
behind you, or one with a battery. We don't have that much to cut, front
and side of the house, and a little next to the pool area. We live in
California.Any advise is appreciated......... Opa Peter
Peter - The corded variety are all pretty similar and very reliable. Just go
to a dealer you like and push a few around and see what feels right. You
will want some hearing protection, when I used them as a kid they were very
loud compared to the gas, that may have changed. Ask your dealer if one is
louder than another.

battery powered - These are relatively new to the market, have heavy
batteries and limited cutting time. I would avoid this type of electric if I
were you.

reel mowers - I cant believe someone suggested this for a senior. When I was
a kid that's all my grandfather owned. Needless to say I mowed a lot of his
grass with one of those. Its tough work.

Electric start gas - This may be OK if you get one that is also self
propelled but then you need to guy the gas and deal with maintenance. The
electric is zero maintenance beyond keeping the blade(s) sharp.

Electric - just do not run over the cord
