- Power: Gas-powered mowers typically have more powerful engines than electric mowers, which allows them to cut through thicker grass and weeds more easily. Electric mowers may struggle with long or wet grass, resulting in a less clean and even cut.
- Blade speed: The blades of gas-powered mowers typically rotate faster than those of electric mowers. This higher blade speed creates a finer cut and reduces the likelihood of tearing or shredding the grass blades.
- Mulching capabilities: Many gas-powered mowers have mulching capabilities, which allows them to finely chop grass clippings and distribute them back onto the lawn as a natural fertilizer. Electric mowers may not have this feature, or may not mulch as effectively, resulting in a less desirable appearance of the lawn.
- Maintenance: Gas-powered mowers require more maintenance than electric mowers, such as regular oil changes and spark plug replacements. However, if properly maintained, gas-powered mowers can last for many years and continue to provide a superior cut compared to electric mowers.
