An electric lawnmower might seem like a relatively new invention<\/strong>, but lawnmowers in various sizes, shapes, and designs have been around for quite some time. The first mower for your home grass first appeared in 1830, but it was a lot less efficient than the devices we use today.<\/p>\n The lawnmowers available in the 1800s were entirely manual and required a lot of pushing back and forth to cut grass. Even if you could handle a rotary lawnmower from the 1800s, you might not be too impressed by the appearance of your garden afterwards. The grass clippings would often go everywhere, and it would be difficult to get every stray<\/strong> piece of grass<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It wasn\u2019t until nearly 100 years later that the first gas mowers appeared in 1919. Electric mowers came after that in 1930. Electric lawnmowers<\/a> promise to be the more energy-efficient, easier-to-use, and efficient solutions for keeping your gardens in great condition.<\/p>\n The electric lawnmower has a motor inside of it that attaches to a blade or rotary mower. The horizontal blade spins fast enough<\/strong> to cut the grass as it comes into contact. This blade sits in a deck casing, which keeps the grass and other objects flying in all directions when you hit it (making mowing neater). The deck will sometimes ride on four wheels, but there are hover mowers available too.<\/p>\n Some lawnmowers help to clean up the lawn as you mow, with a bag attached to the system that collects the cut grass. There are even huge lawnmowers that you can sit on and ride around the garden if your lawn is big enough.<\/p>\n Electric lawnmowers last a long time and take a lot less effort to use in various seasons of the year than gas lawnmowers. Today, there are even electric lawnmowers that you can use with batteries that recharge, rather than relying on extension lawn to cover the yard.<\/p>\n
