An electric lawnmower has its advantages and disadvantages like any tool and corded mowers especially give you a limited range and are not the most ideal mower when you have an area larger than 150 feet from your power outlet. The disadvantage is that one can accidentally mow over the power cable which will stop the mower immediately and may cause the user to get an electric shock.
One can get around this by installing a residual device such as GFCI onto your outlet which will reduce the risk of getting an electric shock. Electric mowers are environmentally friendly and require very little maintenance. When not in use fold down which is great for storing.
18 Volt Power Tools
Electric mowers come in many different designs as well as sizes. For instance if you have a small area you will only need a small mower but on the other hand if you have a large area then one of the larger and more powerful mowers would more suitable. All these mowers come with a catcher attached which eliminated any mess and the cut grass can be easily added to your compost heap.
The cordless electric mower runs off a 12 volt rechargeable battery. One can obtain larger batteries which will give you far more running time as well as more power. Depending on the design the battery can be encased or can be on the outside of the lawnmower.
The maneuverability of the cordless mower is great as you don't have to worry about the mower going over the cord and the cordless has no distance limitation which is great if you have a huge area you need to cut. The cordless is also environmentally friendly and the only disadvantage is that there are not many models to choose from and cost more than the models with cords.
