What is the difference between a push (hand) mower and an electric/petrol mower?




kanglq00


I'm looking to get a new mower but I don't really know which one to get. Besides the obvious (manual vs automatic), is there any major difference (ie. in mowing capability)?

Thanks everyone!



Answer
Well, sure. A powered mower can easily handle taller grass. A push mower become exponentially more difficult with over grown grass, and nearly impossible if the grass has been neglected and is 6 inches tall.

If you have a large lawn, the power mower will save time, because it will be faster. It will be more expensive to run, as it needs fuel, and most pollute like crazy.

Push mowers will work nicely IF you have a small lawn, and are attentive to both frequent cutting, and regular maintenance on the mower - oiling and sharpening the blades. And it doesn't cost anything to run and use, and doesn't pollute.

Which do YOu like beter: gas sor electric mower?




Etcha


I know gas mowers are always breaking down, and needing repairs, and cost more in maintenance and repairs.

What are the downfalls with electric mowers?



Answer
Electric mowers are good if you have a small/medium back yard, or multiple outside electric outlet otherwise you just have to keep winding the cord and try not to cut over it. Also some electric lawnmower will lose power if the cord is too long. Practice makes perfect though and I've learned just to use a shorter cord, when you cut grass closer to the electric point and put an extension on when you move further out, to prevent the cords getting in your way.

I have an electric mover, and it works a charm. I use it to cut my front lawn which has a frontage of less than 10 m and width of 13 m. I wouldn't swap it for petrol one; all the having to buy petrol, running out to the shop at last minute, spilling of the petrol, dirty hands, and break-down of the machine is not worth it.

I love my electric mower :) It is also lighter and smaller, so easier to maneuver into those corners and under tree branches, and once I'm done, I just wheel it away into the garage and out of the way.
