In reply to the discussion: I need some lawn mower advice. [View all]Curmudgeoness
(18,219 posts)11. Good advice.
I would not have thought about prices of replacement batteries being so drastically different. No-brainer for sure.
The additional price of the mower will not be a deciding factor. After I saw the cordless ones online, I realized just how much savings there would be on buying gas (and that crappy drive to the gas station and home with a gas can, that seems to stink even when you think it is sealed up.)
I also would like to find one locally instead of online, because I want to have a place to possibly get some help if I need it. It is so much harder for a sales person to look you in the face and ignore you.
