Three Reasons to Use Corded Electric Mowers

Category: A World of Lawnmowers and Lawncare | Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2015 2:02 pm

Petrol lawn mowers are often seen as the only way to go by many people, but it doesn't have to be this way!

1) Pulling the starter cable on a petrol mower can frankly be exhausting for some, with an electric mower you'll have no such trouble, simply push to start button or turn the key.

2) If your mower has a two stroke engine it will require a petrol and oil mix to get it started. This is both messy (black smoke in the face anyone?) and a pain to get right. A four stroke is slightly less work, but it still requires oil checks and fresh petrol to be added regularly. No need for this with an electric mower

3) Electric mowers are quiet. You won't be upsetting anyone should you choose to mow outside of socially acceptable hours.

Electric Mower tips

To get the best out of your corded electric mower, follow these simple tips:

1) Keep the cord slung over your shoulder so that it doesn't get in yours or the mower's way

2) Keep the cord away from the discharge chute if mowing without a grass collection box to prevent it getting caught up in clumps of grass

3) If mowing on a slope mow along it rather than up and down it to avoid losing your footing and landing in a heap at the bottom with the lawn mower on top of you.
