One of the best things I did shortly after moving into my first house was choosing an electric lawnmower instead of the gas-powered ones I used as a kid. Since switching last year, I have saved on my monthly electric bill thanks to my Greenworks electric lawn mower. Best of all, Walmart has one for 34% off right now.
Normally sold for $379, you can get the Greenworks 40V 20-Inch Electric Lawn Mower on Sale for $249 at Walmart. Not only is it a good deal for anyone looking for a great lawn cut this season, but I have been very impressed with the savings I have been able to enjoy by using it over the last year.
How is that? Well, I haven’t had the need to recharge the battery through the normal conventions of plugging it into a wall outlet. Instead, I have leaned on my Anker 535 Portable Power Station ($349 at Amazon) to charge the lawnmower battery, which I charge using a solar panel whenever I can on sunny days. This has been my routine all last spring and summer, so it has saved me on my monthly electric bill.
I was initially skeptical about the cutting performance of my Greenworks electric lawn mower, but it has proven to be as good as any gas lawn mower I have used. The best thing, however, is how quiet it is when cutting. There isn’t any loud noise that you typically hear on most gas-powered lawnmowers, so it’s not a huge distraction.
While you have the option of attaching a bag to collect grass clippings, I rarely have to use it because I am impressed by its mulching performance that cuts the grass into small pieces and leaves them on the lawn. I even pushed my Greenworks electric lawn mower through thick ps of grass on my lawn and it cut through them with ease.
Now that the spring weather has arrived, I’ve already made my first cut of the season with my Greenworks electric lawn mower, and it’s still just as good as when I used it the first day. With the help of solar charging, it means I will never have to pay out of pocket again. I don’t miss gas, especially when it recently shot up to $3.68 a gallon where I live.
