Sometime back in the mid to late 60's we got a Sunbeam electric mower. It was lightweight and did a decent job, but cut a rather narrow path, so took a while to get done. The extension cord required was heavy and long, since the backyard was large. On more than one occasion I ran over the cord, and cut it in two. We used it for several years, and then it overheated snd stopped working. My dad then bought a new gas mower.
Around 1996 I bought a Black & Decker battery powered mower. It did a good job, and was relatively quiet, but it would run down and require recharging before I could finish mowing. That usually meant me mowing on two days, which I didn't like. Eventually the battery would no longer take a charge, and instead of replacing it, I bought a John Deere push mower in 2006. It had plenty of power, and I could complete the mowing in a timely manner. In 2020 it required some repairs which were going to be expensive, so I spent a little more, and got a nice Honda mower, which so far I like real well. I also got a new gas can that is easy to use, and spill resistant.
I don't like storing gasoline in the house, so keep the can in the shed. I've been keeping the new mower in the garage, which I don't like doing, so only put in as much gas as I think I'll need when I start. I plan to clean out the shed, and repair it this Summer, so will put the mower in it then.
I would not want to keep a mower or other item with large lithium ion batteries inside the house either. I've seen numerous videos of fire departments responding to fires caused by electric scooters. Those batteries are difficult to extinguish, and require haz-mat response to dispose of after they burn. If I ever have a mower with such batteries, it will stay in the shed.
