I need to buy a new lawn mower. I think I want electric powered because it is quieter and doesn't produce so much pollution as a gas mower.It was suggested that I buy one that is self propelled but I can't find seem to find any. What are your feelings about gas vs electric and push vs self propelled? I want to spend no more than $250 or so. Thank you.

Trade in your old gasoline-powered mower for a new manual model or an electric corded or rechargeable cordless lawn mower. You'll save time and money-and help the environment.
Manual mowers are excellent for small lawns. They are inexpensive, quiet, easy to maintain and healthy to use.
Electric mowers work well for small to medium lawns. Modern pollution controls required for utility plants make this option much cleaner than gasoline mowers.
Electric mowers are:
Inexpensive to operateâabout $5 per year for electricity.
Easy to maintainâno costly engine tune-ups or messy oil changes.
Cleanâno spilled oil or gasoline, no exhaust fumes, significantly reduced air pollution.
Quietâabout half the noise of gasoline mowers.
Easy to startâpush-button starting, no more yanking on a starter cord.

Electric lawn mower help?
brennanpol
I just purchased a Black & Decker cmm1200 cordless mower, which uses a lead acid battery.
I was told that to prolong the life of the battery, I should completely use up the battery, and then only charge it again the night before I use it.
Can someone confirm this, and provide more details?
- thank you
Answer
The reason they tell you to charge it the night before is to keep you from OVER charging, which can severely cut short the life of the battery.
My husband bought an electric lawn mower because we live near the beach and we were thinking 'green'. He loves it, but probably wouldn't if we had a larger lawn because it probably wouldn't mow a yard much larger than ours.
And yes, on the 'use up' the battery, which is also a bit of a pain at times, because if you have half a charge, it's better to use it up, than to recharge it to a full charge. He's had to pause a lawn mow because the charge goes out in the middle.
All in all, tho, it's a clean mow, it works perfectly, and it's much quieter than gas, which is great here at the beach because you don't hear a bunch of people mowing lawns on the weekend;)
We have the Earthwise Mowers - I think it's 20". We got it online at greengardentools
this might have additional information, but you'll probably be just fine by not overcharging and depleting the charge.
