Electric lawnmower recommendations?

16 years ago

I love my push reel mower but I have to admit I hate dealing with leaves. Sooooooo I'm looking at electric. I have a big ol' stinky Craftsman gas mulching machine and I'm wondering if there is something with similar performance in an electric.

I have a small enough yard that I think a corded machine would be fine. What brands should I look at for good mulching and cutting performance?

It does NOT have to be self-propelled. My yard is small and flat. My grass is wimpy. But I have magnolia leaves and sweet gum prickle balls (what do adults call those things?) that make a reel mower impractical. It doesn't have to be cheap if it's good.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
