You Own an Electric Mulching Mower. You Can’t Be Serious!
There are so many advantages to changing from a classic gasoline powered mower to an electrical lawn mower that most are so obvious I don't need to mention them. 
But did you know that you can replace your gas guzzling mulching mower for an environmentally-friendly electric powered mulching mower?
Tumblr media
Among the Biggest Disadvantages to Gas Mowers
It is a fact that gas-powered mowers uses gasoline. Duh! No s##t Sherlock! 
But let’s look at why that is bad.
Gasoline is expensive (and getting more expensive every week).
Gasoline is messy and smelly.
Tumblr media
Gasoline pollutes the local area and the planet at large. 
Gas powered mowers additionally require oil and a great deal of maintenance compared to their electrically powered counterparts (which require very little maintenance).
The Main Advantage To Gas Mowers
There are lots of advantages to using a gas mower and these are the main reasons why many individuals are reluctant to change to an electrical one.
Gasoline mowers are usually considered to be a lot more powerful and are thought to do an improved job of cutting.
Additionally there is no need to worry about an extension cord with a gas mower.
Tumblr media
However the advantages that a gas powered mulching mower has over its electrical competitor are small. 
For many people the primary concerns about utilizing an electrical mulching mower are that it's not going to be as strong, you must navigate around an extension cord, or if you utilize a cord-less mower the charge won’t last long enough to finish the job. 
The concerns that individuals used to have about electric mowers are fading away with each new generation of mowers. 
As technology improvements in electrical motors have become better while by giving more power while using less electricity and having longer life batteries.
Also the mowers are getting smaller and lighter in weight. 
Tumblr media
This eliminates many of the problems that individuals have had with electric mowers in the past.
My Choice
Once I needed to find a good mower which was also able to mulch I wanted to find an electrical mower to avoid the ongoing costs and as a way of reducing my carbon footprint. 
I investigated a number of mowers and found some that I liked a great deal. 
One that appeared very good was the Neuton CE 5.4. 
Tumblr media
That is a 24 V cordless unit that may either bag clippings or be used for mulching. 
It's got a very quiet rotary motor and is quite easy to use with the most of reviewers being satisfied with the battery life on this specific unit.
Your neighbors will love the silent way you mow with this machine.
Another option that looked quite good was the Black & Decker MM875 Lawn Hog. 
Tumblr media
This particular mower isn't cord-less, but it is a strong machine with 12 amps of power and it obtained many good reviews on a few of the various shopping sites. 
Among the best mowers I found during my research had been the Earthwise which comes in 2 different sizes. 
The only real distinction between the two is that you have an 18" blade in one and the other has a 20” blade. 
Tumblr media
They are strong, quiet and easy to maneuver. 
A good number of reviews originated from people which were previously using gas powered mowers and during my research, both of these mowers had some of the highest user ratings online. 
An electric mulching lawn mower is a fantastic choice and doesn't have the same restrictions that electric mowers had a number of years ago. 
The electric options currently available can be every bit as powerful and cut just as well as many gas powered mowers without the disadvantages of gasoline, oil, and pollution.
