I'd swear by them. So much lower maintenance.
And it ain't a car, if you run out of juice just finish mowing the next day. Not gonna leave you stranded.
I got a 6ah and 4ah mower and weed whacker combo pretty cheap. 40v which was good at the time, but now 80v mowers are coming out. Could probably do some bush hogging with that beast.
I couldn't do the electric chainsaw or blower though, those just don't have the power of the gas models. Plus I take the chainsaw camping and no way would it hold a charge in the woods.

We had a plug-in mower when I lived in the suburbs. Bought it before battery power became more popular. The cord was a minor annoyance but not that big of a deal if you just went from one side to the other of a yard and kept it on the grass I'd already mowed. In the spring other people would be changing their oil or otherwise doing maintenance to get their gas mower going and I would just plug mine in and go. A little ghey, yes, but really convenient.

[youtube]WROaqGUyqw8[/outube][/QUOTE]One thing I miss about my gas mower, you could take the throttle spring and wrap it around the carb and really dump some fuel into that bich. Sucker would run at double the factory RPM and cut through concrete and steel.
