Now that I think about it, it was probably before the pandemic. 🤔

If you buy an electric mower, you never have to change the oil again. Or the spark plug. Or buy gas. Or clean the carburetor.

And they're quieter! God I wish my neighbors all had electric mowers. Sometimes it seems like they're invited to all the zoom meetings I attend.

And when they're being used the engine doesn't have to spin all. the. time.

The mowers are fine, it's the weedwackers that are the problem.

Electric weedwackers are also quieter.
