I'll start here in the tool thread, but if the gardening thread would be better let me know. I'm at about 15 years on my push mower and need a new one, I'm thinking about a rechargeable electric, also hopefully in some system compatible with a string trimmer/other tools, and maybe a blower and hedge trimmer down the line. I'm on just under a quarter acre and non-powered push mower will be just fine. Any rechargeable mower brands to avoid? Otherwise I'll probably just get whatever decent deal on a Ryobi/whatever from Lowe's or home depot.

There's been some discussion in this thread a few times. I believe the Ego ones are pretty well regarded though I don't know much about them. Also Greenworks/Kobalt are nice. I had a greenworks mower before we moved and it was good. It came with 2 batteries and a fast charger that had a fan in it so it could charge up the battery in 15-20 minutes I think, which is actually faster than the mower discharged them, so theoretically you could continue indefinitely just swapping the batteries back and forth between the mower/charger. I'm sure it wouldn't be great for the batteries though and it might slow down charging if they get too hot. I think the Greenworks Chainsaw is pretty well regarded when I was looking up reviews of it, and they have a full range of yard tools (strimmers etc) as well.

Cool, thanks!
