It depends on how large your cutting area is.
1- If you can cut it in under two hours, get an electric.
(I took extra good care of mine and it lasted 4 years).
I got lucky and someone abandoned one that was wired wrong but newish, fixed it and it lasted 5 years.
2- Both were Black & Decker and first one cost $89.95 in 1993.
3- Of course you'll need one or two long extension cords (again I had two roll-up spools), one was 200 feet and one was 100 feet long.
I had 2 gas mowers, one was self propelled (both cheap brands), one blew the engine and the other threw a rod and oiled part of the lawn.
4- You'll have to buy Oil, Gas, and drygas for the wiinter months and still need to take good care of it, (keep it covered, sheltered and change the oil periodiclly)

Snapper has been in the buisiness a long time and I see lots of old ones still in use.
