Please explain how they are able to run over the plants if they don't show up.
Pup.
When they did show up they ran over plants grant. It was so cheap for only $12 i gave up doing it, but the first guy dieds of cancer and the next guy just never came back jack. So i said the heck with it and bought a Craftsman and started doing my own yard again stan. That mower had gas and carb probs so i went with the EGO and been fine as wine ever since. 3 YEARS THIS MONTH. Also got their weed eater and edger edgar.
Here's one for ya - I had one guy run over a bag of mulch. "I wonder what will happen if I run over this bag" I think that's the day I ordered my mower.
Most yard peeps are fly by nites dwight and drunks like silly punks. Plus them big riding mowers leave tracks in the yard if the ground is wet and or soft.
Add another one to the con list for the battery mower. I just discovered you can mow grass that is moist.
Did you mean to say can't mow grass that is moist? I haven't had an issue with that at all. Wet, dry, in between, it doesn't matter, the mower powers through.
If I had a small enough yard, I'd use a corded electric mower plus a manual reel type mower. I once tried a battery-powered mower and did not like it, as it seemed to not have enough power. That was over 20 years ago, however, so they've probably improved. In general I prefer corded tools since I don't have to worry about battery life, plus they are cheaper to operate in the long run.
Folks with crackpot theories about how air quality does not matter can take that noise and stuff it you know where. The air quality here in Phoenix is not good, and is one of a few reasons I will not retire here. One of my uncles used to snowbird in Mesa. He had lung issues, and eventually it got to the point where he could not live in Mesa any longer. The last year of his life they stayed in Minnesota during the winter. He and his wife were considering buying a place in a more remote Arizona location, but he didn't live long enough to make that happen.

My parents had a place in Mesa. Every time I went there I got what they called the desert something - awful. I rarely get sick so it wasn't because I was some sensitive little flower - there was something bad there. My mom ended up with lung cancer.
Location: Unlike most on CD, I'm not afraid to give my location: Milwaukee, WI.

I'd say that all information about such things is local, but the more a customer shops primarily by price the more susceptible they are to what you describe.
