“SloJo”? LOL. You are mistaking our illustrious POTUS for “SunJoe,” the maker of battery powered yard implements.

Don’t worry, though. It’s easy to confuse the two.

With the army of young SA beaners crossing the border every day it will be cheaper to hire Paco to mow your lawn than to do it yourself.

I mow my own. I trim all trees and bushes.
But my HOA contracts a lawn service that 80% of homeowners use. The price stayed at $20 per month for 15 years. Then two years ago it jumped to $40. All the workmen are from Hispanic nations or the Caribbean.

At $20 I might have caved in. At $40 NEVER.

Gas mowers were cheaper several years ago. I expect the price has gone up due to part shortages.

I stick with corded electric for weed eater, blower and edger. #1, me and small gas motors don’t seem to geehaw, and #2, I don’t use them enough on my small lawn to keep batteries working well.

I have a traditional gas powered push mower. A battery mower would probably work OK for me as my yard is pretty small, but I prefer a good B&S powered gas engine - I know what to do when it’s not working right. My problem is that my yard is roofed over with mature oaks that suck up all the sun and water, so my grass is slowly dying off. Thinking of plugging it with zoysia.
