Looking into purchasing an electric lawn mower as well as an electric garden trimmer thingy.
I don't trust sales people for advice just so they can take my money.
I don't know anyone personally who uses electric..I Googled for feed back from the public but the reviews are split down the middle
I sit on a huge block..I would be so pissed off if I got half way through mowing and then it died because it needed to be battery recharged for so many hours.
Depending on how large your gardens are, I say Yes Go electric - and Cordless too for safety - They are worth the extra expense and much safer and easier than dragging a mains cord anytime.

Years ago I owned a electric mower and trimmer and they were easier to store.I didn't have a storage shed or garage so I stored the both in the basement of my home.Plus you don't have containers of gas sitting around.
Yes there are disadvantages/advantages of having either gas or electric.

You obviously have to make sure that you have long enough extension cords and be careful as not to run over the cord hooked to the mower.I used to have to move the extension cords all the time or make sure that there was enough outlets between the back and the front yards.Plug untangling the cord if it were to get tangled around trees,bushes etc.It wasn't fun to have a electric mower.They can also cost more too.
