It was 2008, they were garbage at the time, and my awesome gas powered lawnmower is still going strong today that I got when I replaced the electric one 2008. But yeah thanks for the compliments.
Yeah I tried going electric. I’m not mowing the lawn with a cord plus I cut a cord using electric hedgers once. Went back to gas and never looked back.
No worries California is going to save the planet by banning gas powered lawn equipment. If there’s one thing the environment loves, is more batteries and crap that doesn’t last so you have to keep buying new shit.
