/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I have a cheap wired lawnmower I bought from Amazon (Greentools or something like that). Also a few other wired tools.
Pros:
>lighter weight so you can mow one handed
>cheaper
>don't have to worry about oil/gas
>Single phase motor
>More sustained power compared to battery
Cons:
>Have to drag a cord around the yard
>cord gets hung on trees/bushes
>cord is expensive
>cord is a bit heavy
>You'll have to mow one handed a lot
Overall I'm content with my wired electric yardtools. It feels like I'm vacuuming my yard and I get strange looks from the white trash neighbors. After mowing a few times i've formed a good pattern that doesn't require me to move my cord constantly. It's kind of a pain in the ass but I haven't been wanting for more power, it cuts just as good as my gas mower ever did.
