I hate gas mowers/trimmers:

1. They are noisy, the trimmers can drive one crazy trying to sleep in
on a saturday morning

Perhaps you should live in a less crowded place.

2. They pollute

Most everything pollutes, including the power plant producing the
electricity for your electric trimmer.

3. They are +20x more expensive to operate than electric

Not if you actually know how to maintain and operate them.

4. They never start reliably

See #3.

5. Always out of gas

See #3.


The extra few minutes dealing with an ext cord are no big deal

I don't care to mess with 400' of extension cord maintaining my yard.
