Greenworx 60v user here, they certainly are getting better. I had all sorts of hell with an older Ryobi line and had written off battery outdoor tools for awhile but was gifted the Greenworx and have not looked back. Electric leaf blowers have so many uses! Though a push mower you need amperage if you are letting you lawn get tall and the 60v 4a battery I have is good for around 6-8 thousand square feet of lawn before I have to swap.
As for riding, the deep cycle variants are getting competitive with gas powered but lithium is a ways off. fortunately with most deep cycle models batteries can be purchased in many places.
I have kept an old push gas mower around for high grass and light brush clearing a common area that is not regularly maintained. they still have more oomph than electric mowers.
- sokoloff 6y agoI had a couple of plug in leaf blowers that were handy, but have nowhere close to the power of my secondhand gas blower that I bought later. If I had it to do over, I’d have skipped the electric blowers entirely. The surprising win for plug-in electric is a small, cheap single-stage snow blower. For snows in the 1-4” range at under 25°F, it’s hard to beat the speed and convenience. I bought it just as a cleanup tool behind my “real” snowblower (a 2-stage can’t clear down to clean pavement), but I find I’ll often use it as the only blower I use for a light, fluffy snow.
