Had a Honda. That was a tank. It was 13 yrs old, and I decided to upgrade. Sold it to my neighbor for a case of beer, he uses it at his cabin. I have a Makita electric mower now. Rebate came with a blower, and was quite cheap. I have some Makita cordless power tools, so I stayed in brand for the batteries. I go thru a lot of batteries, but I have a hilly yard and it takes almost an hour to mow. Would not recommend electric unless you have a smaller flat yard, or you already have a number of same brand batteries. Pros - cuts good and is very quiet. I don't have to wear earplugs and now I put in my earbuds. I also don't smell like exhaust when done. Cons: Goes thru a lot of batteries. Probably should have gone with 40v/80v for the power, but my tools use the 18v/36v batteries. Blower is okay, but after I edge, or if grass is wet I use my Stihl blower.
