I recently bought a house that has 1/4 acre. I bought a greenworks electric mower that said it would work for 1/4, but was quickly disappointed. It has taken a full day, 5 battery charges to do the yard. I’m wondering what people’s recommendations are for an electric mower for 1/2 acre to 1 acre. I’m rounding up so I don’t waste money again.

I’m looking at the EGO 800 series, 21inch and Greenworks 80Volt 25inch. I’m weary of Greenworks because I’ve now read a lot of negative reviews of their products.

Please let me know any recs!

Thanks!

I’m a first-time homeowner and don’t know much about home improvement. I’d really appreciate some advice. My house doesn’t have gutters, and I’m wondering if that’s contributing to moisture damage in the wood trim and causing the paint to peel. There’s also a lot of mildew on the exterior. I’m trying to figure out the right order of projects. Should I install gutters first before repairing the wood and repainting? Or do I need to fix the damaged wood before gutters can be installed? I want to avoid repairing and repainting if the underlying moisture issue isn’t addressed first. Also, would a general contractor handle all of this (gutters, wood repair, repainting), or would I need to hire separate people?
