Electric Lawn Tools

electric leaf blowers are the solution. much quieter, good enough power. i had one for two years when we lived in a suburban house. it was amazing. i miss it. will probably get another one.

Switched all my outdoor tools (push mower, weed eater, leaf blower, chainsaw )To electric, and it has saved so much yearly messing with small engines. Huge win for me. Some of these tools I only use a few times a year, so ends up being near a 1:1 using the tool and doing maintenance.Riding mower is the only gas engine I have to mess with. Counting down the years until a more competitive battery riding mower is sold.

Have you considered an electric leaf blower?

Personally, as my garden equipment has needed replacement, I have been switching over to Ego battery-electric. Awesome equipment, very happy with it (I now have a mower, weedwacker, blower, chainsaw and hedge trimmer).The only real issue is that the blower doesn't last long on a battery, which is no problem for cleanup after mowing, but not so good for leaf cleanup in the fall. Since I now have multiple pieces of equipment, I do have a battery (and charger) for each including a large o

I have the 80V Greenworks Pro line of mower and trimmer (blower as well). They're much quieter and do an excellent job. The blower is powerful as hell. I don't know what this guy is talking about. I do my lawn about every two weeks as I live in Florida and it rains a lot.

I have no real problem with the blower being underpowered compared to a plug-in, but for commercial use, it would be a deal breaker.The Ego leaf blower and even the chain saw are good tools for 90% of my average home usage, and the convenience of not having to deal with cords or trying to start a small gas engine makes them worth it to me. I have not had to go to my old string trimmer once and should probably sell it. Living more north of you, I haven't dared try the snow blower. The gas

I have an ego weed whacker and a leaf blower and I adore them. (still using a push mower but might give in some day). Not having to deal with gas is awesome. They're cleaner, they're quieter (but not quiet), and lower-maintainence. Not sure if something better came out in the last year, but as of the time I bought them, they were still pretty close to the top from my preference set.

The ban is on gas-powered leaf blowers. I’ve switched to all electric yard tools at home. No regrets; the tools are durable, can easily handle the whole job on a single charge, quiet enough that I feel comfortable letting my children assist (they can hear my instructions and generally what’s going on around them), and no gas engines to maintain.

My mom just bought a battery operated lawn mower, weed whacker, and leaf blower kit. She loves how portable, quiet, and easy to use they are. She’s 70 years old so portable and easy to use are more important to her than power.I just mention this because what might not seem like an option for you can work fine for other people. She loves not having to pull start a gas mower or deal with the noise and smell of it.

Electric lawnmowers and leafblowers have come such a long way. My electric lawnmower weighs next to nothing, needs virtually no maintenance, and it is only about as loud as a box fan. I get 2-3 mows out of it on a single charge, and the upfront cost was on par with (if not a little less than) an ICE lawnmower. There is no reason to not move aggressively in this direction.
