battery life is 2 or 3 years, if everything is with in 100 feet, consider a corded one, last forever no maintenance -- nm - z on the go May 4, 13:35
Get a goat. The City of Covington is getting them for a park. They may have to allow residential owners to have them, too. -- nm - Covington May 4, 13:20
Let a robot do it. It's not like robots have ever done anything bad. -- (link) - Beryllium May 4, 13:14
battery aside, my dad has a an electric connected to a long extension cord, and it works well. -- nm - Max May 4, 13:12 4
- that would be perfect for Amanda - until she runs over the extension cord with the mower... -- nm - decline May 4, 13:13 3
  - I've used it plenty and never ruined anything, so... actually I guess you're right, I should be the one to mow Amanda's lawn. -- nm - Max May 4, 13:17 1

- my yard is miniscule. I think it would take 30 minutes max to mow. -- nm - amanda May 4, 13:17 10
  - here is my mini yard attached to my minihouse -- (link) - amanda May 4, 13:18 7
    - so cute. Maybe you can get a goat? -- nm - oblique May 4, 13:20 6
      - pygmy goat? -- nm - Beryllium May 4, 13:23 1
        
        mini goats and mini pigs -- nm - Max May 4, 13:24
      - oh good idea! I wonder if there's a rule against that. -- nm - amanda May 4, 13:21 3
        
        oh, appar I can have daytime goats. they just can't spend the night. -- nm - amanda May 4, 13:22 2
        
        do they commute back to the farm? -- nm - Andie May 4, 13:27
        
        commuter goats? -- nm - oblique May 4, 13:27
  - try a handpowered one? no electric or motor, just a push one? -- nm - Beaker May 4, 13:18 1
    - yeah, for a tiny yard that's what i would get. -- nm - Andie May 4, 13:18
- don't they make the ones with an actual plug anymore? -- nm - Andie May 4, 13:11 2
  - I had one. It's a PITA. You have to watch the cord all the time. -- nm - iSpam May 4, 13:12 1
    - we had one growing up, the handle flipped back and forth, so the cord always stayed on one side. -- nm - Andie May 4, 13:13
- Tesla needs to get on this. -- nm - TWuG May 4, 13:06
my brother has one. His yard is tiny and the battery runs out before he finishes most times. If your yard is really tiny just get a manual one -- (link) - decline May 4, 13:01
We had a gas mower with an electric start. I couldn't even keep that charged. If I had one of those it would always be dead when I wanted to use it -- nm - oblique May 4, 12:59
