Two weeks ago our lawn mower failed catastrophically. Somehow it began pumping oil and gas out through the air filter, smoking and clogging and just generally Not Working. I’ve never seen a mower do that before. Now I’m no mechanic, but I realized that our mower was Broke.
Well, I don’t ever buy anything on impulse, so I started researching mowers and brands and features and prices and considering my options, and while I was doing all that Mona went out and bought us an electric lawn mower with a rechargeable battery.
I really wasn’t even considering an electric model, but now that I’ve used one I don’t think I’ll ever go back. It’s just as powerful as a traditional gas-powered mower, and it’s roughly the same price, but there’s no gas or oil or air filters to bother with, it’s lighter, and it’s a lot quieter. It has a five year warranty-- not bad.
So I guess there’s something to be said for impulsiveness.
