There’s nothing better than looking out at your beautiful lawn after a long day of yard work. But all that upkeep puts stress on your mower. If yours is on its way out, now is the perfect time to replace it with a battery-powered lawn mower. You can get a $75 Mass Save® lawn mower rebate when you switch to a battery-powered mower!
Battery Powered vs Gas Lawn Mowers: What’s the Difference?
The main difference between a battery-powered lawn mower and a gas lawn mower is their fuel source. Gas-powered lawn mowers have gas engines that must be regularly refueled with gasoline to operate. Battery-powered mowers, on the other hand, are powered by rechargeable batteries. You can charge your batteries with an electric charger, which is why battery-powered lawn mowers are also called electric lawn mowers—their fuel source is electricity. Electricity is a cleaner source of energy, especially when generated using renewable resources, like solar power.
Why Switch to an Electric Lawn Mower?
Gas lawn mowers have a lot of downsides. Switching to an electric mower is better for you and the environment.
- Energy Efficiency – Electric mowers are more energy efficient than gas mowers, which means they can do the same amount of work using less energy.
- Less Noise – Electric lawn mowers are quieter than gas mowers, so you can mow early in the morning or late in the evening without bothering your family and neighbors.
- Lower Maintenance – Electric mowers typically require less maintenance than gas mowers. They don’t need oil changes, spark plug replacements, or filter cleanings.
- Easier to Use – Electric lawn mowers are generally lighter and easier to maneuver than gas mowers. They’re also easier to start with just the push of a button rather than cord pulls.
- No Fuel Hassles – Since they run on battery power, you don’t have to buy and store gasoline when you have an electric motor, which keeps your home safer and can save you money.
