Also, if due to some random circumstances the engine fails, then an electric one will be easier to replace than an internal combustion one on a lawn mower.

In addition to all this, the lawn mower can maneuver on the landscape, improving mowing on a relief area. The duration differs by the level of tank filling - the size of the gas tank may differ in different models.

Before we get to the best electric and gas lawn mowers of 2021, let's talk about some important details before purchasing. You don’t want to buy a “pig in a poke”?
Pay attention to the following important technical characteristics:
- The power of the device is that gasoline models are the strongest in this regard, but they also make more noise. For quiet and measured cleaning, an electric or battery-powered scythe is suitable;
- productivity - an electric scythe works on average for about 20 minutes, after which you need to take a break. The gasoline model “works” until the fuel is completely exhausted. And then you can add more and calmly mow the lawns;
- how difficult it is to maintain - in this regard, electrical appliances benefit only because you do not need to monitor the dosage of gasoline and oil in the device;
- safety of use - an electrical device should never be used in the rain! Gasoline engines emit exhaust gas during operation - be careful!
- the weight of all the equipment - if you are a fragile girl, then it will be great to choose a lightweight electric model. Any model is suitable for strong and resilient men. Also pay attention to whether you have problems with your back or posture, because a massive unit can only aggravate the situation.
