A solar-charged, battery-powered lawn mower can be the ultimate in maintenance-free, nonpolluting, cost-saving lawn care. The only drawback is the upfront cost.

    I have a Black and Decker electric and it is the worst mower I've ever owned.
    I have a small yard yet the mowers plastic pieces around the blade continually break and/or get disengaged. They also wear out quickly.
    There is only one replacement store in my area (actually across town) and they aren't open on the weekends.
    Don't by a Black and Decker mower, I know I never will again.

    I recently purchased the WORX electric lawn mower:
    http://www.worxyardtools.com/cordless/lawn-mowers.html it's a great mower and worth checking out.

    We should all do our part to save the environment and encourage the growth of the solar and wind power industries. Cordless electric lawn mowers go a long ways towards these goals. I recently purchased the Black & Decker Cordless Electric Lawnmower the CMM1200. In the review I describe how to upgrade the mower to mow over 9,000 SQFT! I hope my review will help you make a decision about our future.

    I was wondering if anyone had tried the Remington PowerMower. Under electric lawnmowers on google, Consumer Guide rated it number 1. It sounded more powerful than those listed here. We have 1/2 acre of grass--we definitely need more than 1 hour of mow time. Also, I didn't realize the electric mowers were not self-propelled. Are they as hard to push as the original push mowers? Appreciating anyone's insights!

    We just bought an electric mower. But it seems really loud. I thought it would be quieter. Perhaps there's something wrong with it. Anyone noticed this?
