I was shopping for an electric mower. It was $599 on Amazon prime with free shipping. I checked at the local Lowe’s and not only was it the same price, but I got an additional free battery. The batteries are around $299. No vendor on Amazon offered a free additional battery. I think people are just becoming more discerning and checking local options.

I was looking for the old standard engine starter fluid. Aerosol. Ether.
Amazon had worthless listings. $10 or more.
Rural King had the cans for $ 2.50

I've been really happy with my electric zero turn mower I bought a few years ago. It was time to replace my old riding mower anyway. Like you, I bought mine from Lowe's. No $100 annual oil, oil filter, and air slip change. No gas for mowing about 1 acre of grass (not counting the woods or the house) about 20 times per year. And no power added to my power bill because every week when I'm done I always plug it into a 120V outlet that's intermittently powered, only when my home solar batteries are charged enough to power the home without the grid.
Who cares if it's about to get dark that day and there won't be enough spare power to charge the mower's batteries? I don't need it charged again for another week. At some point over the next week I'll have plenty of sunlight to power that outlet and charge the mower by the time I have to mow again.
