Got rid of my gas weed trimmer 3 years ago. I’ll never go back. I got a good quality electric. It has enough power to do all the necessary yard work 2x over on a charge. It doesn’t get bogged down. I don’t have to mix two stroke fuel. I don’t have to clean the fuel system after not using it for the winter or store gas over the off season. No worries about spills. Just swap out the batteries and go.
Blowers have suffered from insufficient power when battery operated. Maybe that’s changed. I’d love an electric mower, but they’re crazy expensive for a decent one.
I love my electric mower. I can do my yard *2 on a battery charge. Worth. Also yes it was like 600$ CAD but no more hassles like you mentioned. Peace of mind is a thing AND it’s better for the environment.
My 40v leaf blower is better than a gas blower, because it’s just as strong as one and doesn’t use gas or oil at all. Also lighter weight and no maintenance. But if you tried an 18v or 20v leaf blower it might not favor as well.
Electric leafblowers should do a better Job than Gas powered. Linear motors are just better. That’s why basically any EV let’s Gas powered cars behind at traffic lights.
A lot of lumberjacks use electric saws more and more.
The downside obviously is that you cant just refill it on the spot.
My 38v pushes leaves and rubbish around well enough in my eyes. It does chew through the batteries however, which ended up tipping one pack unable to charge without manual intervention.
Same batteries go in my electric mower, I can mow my backyard on a single cell if I don’t leave it too infrequent between.

If you don’t mind a little more effort, a manual lawn mower is fantastic! Plus it’s incredibly quiet
My neighbor has a manual mower. Its so cute! I wanna mow the lawn just so I can push it! Also, it doesn’t hurt to push (I’m so old haha)!
Unfortunately our lawn is not suitable for a manual push mower.
Plus you get to be amused by apparently declaring the reality of your lawn maintenance equipment!
