I recently purchased an electric mower after my old gas powered one died -- repairing it was going to cost as much as just buying a new one.
It's so good. It has turned a dreadful experience into a long slightly noisy walk in my yard.
I used to have a number of minor breathing problems when mowing my lawn, mostly due to the exhaust. No longer having to deal with smelly, burning chemicals is absolutely awesome. I ended replacing almost all of my other yard tools with an electric equivalent as soon as I could.
This is a major change since I last tried electric (and especially battery powered) yard tools, which were flimsy, low powered and died quickly. The modern ones are quite good for most things and since I'm more inclined to use them, I end up dealing with easier to mow/chop/trim yard stuff than before.
Upon reflection, using the gas powered equipment today feels like barbarism.
