About Battery Mowers
The cordless versions have no cord to worry about or inadvertently cut off, but after four or five years will need to have the battery replaced. While the conditions of the lawn will cause great variation in the time a battery charge lasts in one mowing, you can assume that you have from one to two hours of mowing on a single charge. The electric mowers are lighter than their gas driven cousins, so are easier to lift up stairs or into a storage area. They also take up less space in storage.
Generally the electric mowers cut a more narrow swath than do their gas driven cousins. Electric mowers cut anywhere between 16 and 19 inch swaths while most gas driven mowers cut 20 to 22 inch widths.
When you compare total costs - purchase and maintenance - the electric mowers are cheaper than the gas driven mowers of similar power.

Fast Starts and Quiet Operation
The CM1936 is incredibly easy to use, thanks to advanced features that address the needs and wants of cordless mower users. First, it starts instantly with a key and quick pull of the handle. And once started, its quiet operation--much quieter than gas mowers--means you can mow when you want to--without worrying about disturbing your neighbors.
Easy Adjustments and Storage
Patented one-touch height adjustment means you can quickly (alter)the cutting height of all four wheels at once with the pull of a single lever. And unlike traditional mowers, the CM1936 can be folded for upright or compact storage, making it ideal for those with limited space in the shed or garage.
Mulch or Rear-Bag Collection
The mower is equipped for mulching the clippings back into your lawn, which provides a natural fertilizing effect. Also, for easy clipping collection, the CM1936 is designed with a rear bag that empties easily.
Removable Battery for Convenient Charging
For simple, convenient charging, the CM1936 boasts a removable battery that easily lifts out and can be charged away from the mower. Users can also purchase additional batteries for extended runtime, giving you the flexibility to handle larger properties.
Eco-Friendly Design Creates Zero Emissions
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), gas powered engines from outdoor lawn equipment produce over one million tons of polluting air emissions per year. The CM1936, in contrast, produces zero harmful emissions in your yard. In addition, its charging systems are Energy Star qualified, which means it is guaranteed to use less energy and save money.
The CM1936 is backed by a two-year warranty and lifetime deck warranty.
