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
It is if the nearest outlet is 600' away. Not everyone lives in ticky-tacky
houses that are spitting distance apart.

Sry, didn't know there were so many redneck country boys with big
acreages here (jk), Seriously, the vast majority of us live in 5000 sqft
lots. An acre around here would cost several million

That's why I would never, ever live in, or even too close to a city.
Yuck. Disgusting. People packed together like sardines, makes me
shiver. I do OK on my 5 acres, although I wish it were larger, I can
still see one or two houses through the woods when the leaves fall.
Summertime I can only see 1 house and 1 church that is maybe a 1/2 mile
from me in the lower part of my view of the Smokies. That one I don't
mind very much.
