    Wife too weak, push button start gas engine-- Not interested in Electric Mower

    Clearly there can be problems with any type of power equipment. And not all brands are equal. In terms of cordless electric, I have an EGO 14" chainsaw I use for trimming and smaller trees. Afterward I got was so satisfied I purchased a blower and then a string trimmer but not a mower because...

    I agree with you that a loose wire may have been the problem. But, given that he returned the mower, how would he know?

    schreib69, good luck with your search. IMO, it's just as well as the cc600 seemed to be overkill for your need. Perhaps you can reconsider a cordless electric (battery) mower like the EGO I mentioned in post #3. They are well suited to small areas (large areas, too - for a lot of money) and...

    I know what your OP said, but I suggest you consider a cordless electric (battery) powered mower. They're lightweight, easy to maneuver, and easy to start. And they're perfect for small areas. Look for a 6 Ah or higher battery. If Lowes is convenient, check them out as they offer different...
