Anyone use electric lawn mowers?

my home is on a 1/3 acre lot.
i have power outlets both in the front and back of the house.

got this last year from lowes with a good heavy duty extension cord:

it is plenty powerful and handles my lawn without issues.
handling the wire is also not bad, if you get your pattern right (cut/move outwards from the power source) and make sure the wire is always lying on cut grass (not uncut grass).
IMHO hills shouldn't be a problem since most electric are very light compared to gas.
 
Fired up the ego today. Nice enough. Unfortunately nothing but 80's gas mowers for me to compare it to. Certainly a lot simpler and quieter...

This Ego leaf blower though, holy shit. Once I found the "turbo" button that thing really impressed me. This is the lower model too, I can only imagine how powerful the backpack version must be.
Ego leaf blower does kick ass.
Big fan of the weed trimmer and the mower as well.
I do need to make a warranty claim on the battery for my mower though. Error code when I try to charge it. Hasn't worked since the fall and I keep forgetting to call them. Should really get on that...
 
I ordered the EGO trimmer. I might just use the trimmer and stick with my push mower otherwise. Which is a manual unpowered mower.
