Gasoline lawn mowers were in great use before the invention and recognition of battery operated lawn mowers but with the passage of time and increase in knowledge of human about the adverse affects of use of non-renewable resources and environmental pollution they gradually lost their fame.

Moreover these mowers also produce a lot of noise adding to the already noise polluted environments.

Next to them, came the electrical land mowers.
These were quite better than the old gasoline lawn mowers but they had the flaw to carry long wires which needed to travel along with the mower wherever it was required to be used.
