Could I use this as I cut my grass with an electric mower so the cord isn't all over the yard? Yes I would carry it or hook it to me.

There is only 30 feet of retractable cord. I'm not sure what "all over the yard" means, but 30 feet doesn't sound like it would help much. The cord also stays where it is until you pull on it to release it, then it retracts or extends to where you want it to be for the next mission. My vote is "NO". Sorry about the other two purchasers, as I don't agree with either one.

I wouldn't advise that. the tension on the pull would be enough to pull the cord apart or you'd constantly find yourself pausing to pull-release-pull-release to get it to catch at one of the stop points. Buy a goat instead, or just wait for global warming to incinerate your lawn. At last with one you get a meal when the zombie apocalypse happens.

I had a cord on my previous mower, so I had no problem adjusting to the new one. The key is to begin cutting in a strip closest to the outlet and work away from it. I still need to shift the cord fairly often ( usually just a flip of the line) to make sure it is clear of the return path on each strip of lawn.

I was able to use this with my electric weed eater. The only issue I had was that the cord was too short to get to any distance in my yard. I found that a 75-100 foot cord worked better. Hope this helps.

This mower is completely ready to use on it's own. Of course you do need an outdoor electrical cord, length depending on size of lawn. I highly recommend this mower.

I just use a long heavy duty extension cord; the saw itself just has a short cord to plug into a longer one. I have a 100 ft extension cord and have had this saw all over the yard.

you will have to take it apart. The big resolution is to keep the cord over your shoulder and do short verticle runs instead of the lawn mower run.

The cord is very, very short. Probably no more than a foot if that. So you need to hang it where you have an outlet right there or you'll need an extension cord.

Probably could, but don't recommend it. A corded saw with a metal guard is better due to high heat when cutting the metal (might melt a plastic guard). The battery operated is handy but not for heavier use.

You would totally be able to handle it. It's super light and maneuvers well. However, the battery life would probably not hold up to 8000 sq ft. We had a 3000 sq ft lawn (took it out this fall because of the drought in ca) and it would take me two days of charging and mowing to get it done. The battery was just not great. I was able to extend it a little by taking the bag off of the bag and mulching the grass, but it still didn't last for the whole lawn. And yes, the battery sits on top and you just pick it up with the handle. Super easy.

You need to purchase an outdoor extention cord of the appropriate length to meet your needs. The cord on the mower is only about 18 inches long.

Check if it's "14-gauge outdoor extension cord." I just used my outdoor orange generic extension cord, works great, the only challenge with cord is make sure you don't mow the extension cord and be safe. Great electric law mower for people that hate yard work :)

It is electric so I wouldn't leave it outside. Also the cord is about 3' long, but it should work fine with a extention cord if needed

Yes, that's the one we use. We have a small yard, so we bought the mower with a cord; the bag seems to work great with it!

works anywhere, just need long drop cord or cords to go really far into yard, and I do use it there when I can't start the gas blower and hubby isn't home to start it

No and I have to tell you pushing the mower and pulling the cord is a work out. The unit isnpowerful but nonetheless I will be selling mine in the Sprung. Too much work.

Yes, it will work fine for that. The cord is rated for safe use up to 15 amps, which you are well under with that lawn mower.

Yes, you can, we have ours outside in our backyard, all you have to have is access to an electric outlet to plug it in. So far it works great!
