ABOUT ELECTRIC LAWN MOWERS

Electric lawn mowers are coming into increasing use for their convenience, and because they reduce CO2 emissions. They may be corded or cordless, and may have rotary or reel cutters.

Corded electric lawn mowers have a long electric lead, and plug into the main household electricity supply. They may have either rotary or reel cutters.

Cordless electric lawn mowers have a battery, which needs to be charged overnight. They usually have reel, or cylinder, cutters similar to a push mower which actually cut the grass like a pair of scissors. Some models operate at 24 volts, using a pair of batteries in series. Cordless electric lawn mowers can run for an hour on a single charge, cutting up to one third of an acre. For larger areas, the battery can be replaced with a second, charged, battery as required.
