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


Please share with us what lot size you have. Would you recommend this for
someone with 3 to 5 acres?


7000 sqft, of course not. I should have qualified the post. Also, we have
clean hydro electric generated power here.
