Yes! I have an electric mower as well as an electric weed whacker that takes the same batteries. My favorite aspects are that they don't vibrate the hell out of my RSI-inflamed elbow and don't cover me in 2-stroke exhaust. Yes, my electric yard tools are superior in every aspect to a gas ones. I've even managed to convince some of my neighbors to switch to electric and the resulting reduction in neighborhood noise levels has been GREAT!
I don't have a leaf blower. Leaf blowers are stupid noisy and not any faster than a good rake.
