6. Mine was a Black and Decker bought 15 years ago.

It was shaped a bit like an elongated mushroom, was small and only did the basics which was cutting. Also, was easy to adjust to different height levels.

I never remember it giving out of energy while using it, but maybe that was because I only used it for the front yard. Like you say, the re-charge would have been no hassle--just a walk up the driveway into the carport and recharged it rather quickly. We figured that leaving it plugged in all the time cost us less than $5.00 a month. No gas, no fumes to walk behind, start with the touch of a finger, and so quiet I could hear the birds singing while I mowed.

Sadly I had to downsize my lifestyle to a townhouse where they use those huge noisy sit-on mowers. I gave my electric mower to my brother who still uses and loves it.
