Default Why does anyone still use gas mowers/trimmers?

I hate gas mowers/trimmers:

1. They are noisy, the trimmers can drive one crazy trying to sleep in
on a saturday morning
2. They pollute
3. They are +20x more expensive to operate than electric
4. They never start reliably
5. Always out of gas

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


I don't think they MAKE an electric riding mower.

Maybe I could jury-rig a golf cart...

Besides that, electric mowers are for women and sissies. Power, loud noise,
chance of explosion, noxious gasses, ability to fling dried dog **** over
5,000 sq ft. - it's a manly thing!
