I have to buy an electric lawn mower. Home Depot is the nearest source.

3. A couple of years ago we purchased a Homelite cordless electric mower from Home Depot...

It's currently listed at $349 (I don't remember what we paid for it). I've been very, very happy with it. It runs on a rechargeable 24-volt battery. It holds its charge through about 3 front and back yard mowings (medium sized lawns in front and back). Does a very nice job, without the hassle of a cord to drag around.

One problem you might encounter with the cordless models is weight. This Homelite is not self-propelled and is heavier than the gas operated models I've used in the past. Much less work than the pushmower it replaced, but still fairly heavy because of the battery.

I don't know what your spending range is, but self-propelled might be the way for you to go in the cordless models.
