I have a Greenworks 40V mower. I use it to mow the smaller areas where my 60" Hustler Super Z can't fit. I like that I can use the batteries for other tools like a chain saw, string trimmer, snow blower, backpack sprayer, even a portable fan and work light. And there's practically no maintenance compared to a gas mower. No spark plugs, no carburetor, no messy oil or gas. Only thing you ever have to deal with is the blades, but that's true of any mower. And it's SOOOOOO easy to use. Very light weight, especially if you mulch with it instead of bag. And it's push-button start. No yanking on a rope and hoping it will catch.

A friend of mine bought an Ego 56V zero turn mower. It was crazy expensive (about $5000, and that's with only 4 batteries), but it was still cheaper than the Super Z. But it's only a 42", so it would take a lot longer to do my place. While it can do "up to 2 acres" (with a full compliment of 6 batteries), I think the area I mow is a bit larger than that, since I also mow the grass along the road for half a mile.
