Re: Another weekend report

HI Andrea-
I got mine at a "mower exchange" sponsored by the local electric 
company- but they sell them at Home Depot and everywhere.  They are more 
expensive than gas mowers (about $350 I think), but you never buy gas 
anymore and it is so nice to just push a button to start it and not to 
inhale gas fumes while mowing the lawn.  It is also way quieter than a 
gas mower.
 I don't know how long the charge lasts, because I've never used it up 
yet!  I think they recommend them for lawns 1/3 acre or less- but you 
should check they may have changed something since I got mine.  The 
mower stays plugged in when you aren't using it, so it is alway ready 
charged, whenever you are.
