I know you're probably sold on an electric trimer, DON'T. I did the
same thing three years ago and only have a 1/3 acre lot. Just
yesterday I ditched the electric and went gas. I was simply tired of
dragging a cord around the yard, having it snare on trees, cars,
shrubs, etc. From what I've heard the rechargables will last one
season MAYBE two, and they cost pretty close to a cheapy gas powered
one.

mowers as well?

ohhhh. Well, you know, I still think it would be worth the convenience of
not
messing with gas and not dragging a cord.

How about a 300 foot cord that threatens to knock down delicate plants as
you move around corners?

I thought about the cordless version when I bought my last trimmer and
mower but decided against it. I have had acceptable performance from
those cordless tools that I use frequently but I haven't had the same
experience with the infrequent use cordless tools. Seems that if you
use the tool on a regular basis it maintains the charge better.
Infrequent use and the batteries don't seem to last.
