Never have been, even in those screaming fast super-high compression motorcycle engines. Yeah, you might win on Saturday at the track but you'd have to rebuild on Sunday. I've looked at li-ion mowers for six years, and as forward as I look to the day I have a reason to buy one, they just aren't proven yet. It's the battery life. I though the brushless models might improve all that, but it hasn't been the case. A few lower tier brands put em out, postage stamp tract house city slickers liked em enough that everybody else came to the party as soon as they could slap a brand name on their own model. I had high hopes when Toro got into the game, but they seem to be meeting current tech instead of pushing it forward. I'll swear by my battery trimmer and blade edger though. Long battery life in those tiny but adequate motors. As much as I love the move to battery stuffs, buy a Honda. You don't have to spend $700, but those nexite models are supreme. Look for any other brand with a Honda motor on it. I have a Troy Bilt with the Honda 160 motor on it. Regular oil/filter changes, 100% phillips/conoco/shell gas, and constantly file sharpened blades she's been going strong for 13 years. When and if it does finally die, I'll suck it up and buy the high dollar dual blade nexite deck Honda 190. Buy once, cry once.</blockquote>
