Things to Consider
If you answer yes to ANY of these questions, then Battery‑powered equipment may be a good fit for you
Do you want a healthier alternative to gas-powered outdoor equipment?
Gas-powered equipment emits greenhouse gases and other pollutants. It requires storing flammable fuel. Battery-powered equipment has no emissions and only requires recharging batteries.
Is your existing outdoor equipment reaching the end of its useful life?
When you’re ready to replace your current equipment, evaluate how battery-powered equipment might meet your needs.
Does your outdoor equipment feel heavy or bulky?
Battery-powered equipment is lighter, more convenient to maneuver and turns on easily with the press of a button.
Do you enjoy maintaining your yard but dread the noise created by gas-powered equipment?
Battery-powered equipment is significantly quieter than gas-powered equipment, allowing you to have a more relaxing experience while doing yard work.
Have you avoided automating some of your yard care in the past but feel intrigued by battery-powered outdoor products?
Raking, shoveling snow, and clipping shrubs are great ways to get outdoor exercise! However, if you find yourself in a different stage of life with other responsibilities or less mobility, battery-powered equipment can save time and enable you to do more yourself.
