I recently bought that Kobalt lithium one....so far works great. I'm keeping the electric B&D which is a beast but that cord grows old.

I don't know how big a yard you have, but had you thought about a push mower? I've got a 21" one because it is a reel type, which does a better job on hybrid Bermuda. I've got 4000 sq. ft. of yard, and use it about 1/2 the time in the spring and fall.

Summer? No way, but it is an option, especially if you have a smaller yard.

Just a thought.

I have used push mowers before and it was doable but challenging. I think getting the blades resharpened was almost as much as a new one, however.

Most of the independents shops close by 3 on Saturday so I went big box and got an EGO. Looks to be very competitive with the Ryobis, and folds up very nicely:
