Best cordless electric lawn mower under 250?




Bautifulov


What is the best cordless electric lawn mower for under 250? We have a little less then a quarter of an acre .21. So I am looking for an electric mower that is cordless which will allow me to mow the entire yard before charging again.

I only have 250 to spend and I really was looking for something with little to no maintenance. I do not mind gas but I am trying to save money where I can. I also feel if I had to use a cord that somehow I would mow over it. Any suggestions???



Answer
Well the Greenworks electric lawn mower is not cordless but it is lightweight and quite a bit less than $250. I like the way it handles and have even recommended it on a garden site I run. Check it out and see if this is something that would work for you.

riding lawn mower?

How many HP do you guys suggest for a riding mower to cut a 1/2 acre of lawn,the yard has alot of rolling hills with a few fairly steep climbs.I was thinking Husqvarna,what do you think?


Answer
Husqvarna makes the Craftsman mowers. MTD makes Cub, White, Troy-Built, Yard man, Yard Machines, Bolens, and the new Toro tractors. The John Deeres in Lowes and Home Depot are made to last 250 hours and be tossed. That is all the "discount" brands.

If you are looking for a mower go to a dealer, even if its John Deere. The dealer can service the machine after the sale. Most will even deliver for free. They know the machines and the feature that will work for your conditions and situation in your yard. You are going to talk to someone who knows exactly what they are talking about, and not someone who will be in paint tomorrow.

I would recommend a Snapper of a Simplicity. Simplicity has a mower called the Regent that is 18 HP with a 38" deck, and sells for $1999. You are not going to find many machines under 15 HP.

Should I replace my lawn mower or get it fixed?




Matteo M


My 7-year-old Toro self-propelled lawn mower's cord is off so the self-propelled part doesn't work, the engine will no longer start (it wasn't fully engaged last time I used it... it was running slow and loud with a lot of smoke and used a lot of gasoline). The last time I got my mower serviced it was over $100. The newer model Toro is $350-$400.

At this point should I just buy a new one with all those problems?



Answer
7 Years for a mower is great.

It sounds like it is time for a new mower.

If you buy the new mower will you get 7 Years out of it? That is hard to tell.

I am looking to purchase a new Self Propelled Lawn Mower for my husband; we live on 1/3 acre and I just want to help cut down on his cutting time but also get him a good mower. Any suggestions would be appreciated I am considering either a Toro or John Deere.


Answer
If you can afford it, the newer Honda mowers are amazing. $400 for the mid range though. Worth every penny though.
