My daughter and brother have Ego mowers. Both would never go back to gas. My brother actually has 2 (one for each property). Over an acre mowed each; I think he has 2 batteries and does each without recharging. They do not appear to be very good mulchers. Brother also has Ego snow blower which does a surprisingly good job.The value of an electric mower depends on how much you need to mow and the quality of the mower.
