Lawn mower

I have this idea that I want a battery-operated electric mulching mower. I have about a half acre, level.

Anyone want to talk me out of it?

My Grandfather used to have an electric push mower. I remember mowing the grass and feeling like I was vacuuming because I kept having to gather the cord.

You shouldn't buy that mower, Vrai. Instead, you should purchase our spare John Deere riding mower. It's a real lawnmower.

What if you accidentally run over the cord?

Oh wait, I'm thinking you probably don't mow with it plugged in.

Key words - battery operated. No cord.

I want something I don't have to *deal* with. I hate regular mowers because they don't start without massive muscling, then they want to conk out on you. I am too retarded to have something that needs to be messed with.

It just seemed no-brainer to me to have an electric one that you push a button, then it mulches for you too, so you don't have to fiddle with lawn clippings.
