Any particular models you guys recommend? I got my deposit back on my old place, so I have some money to spend (it's not a whole lot, though). Looking under $200 and preferably electric. Maybe just a store to recommend I go to and stare at them... will also need something that's ok out in the rain probably. :|

I suck. I'd even already read that thread. Sorry, I have a new kitten... she got me up early this morning, I'm not quite at full brain power yet.

:lol:

Did you make a decision based on the other thread? When you make your purchase, be sure and post your experience. When and if my current power mower gives up the ghost, I may consider an electric to go along with my manually powered (by me) reel mower.

And be careful mowing in the rain.

Get some sleep! :lol:

I have a battery powered Black and Decker that works okay. My old Toro clipped smoother but this is okay. I keep it sharp with a cool tool I found one day.

What is the tool and where can one find it?
I have an old 50's Westinghouse Wizard electric mower that I found at a junk shop. It has only two blades that must be sharp, lest you just lay the grass over.
A friend sharpened it for me last year and I'm pretty sure they are dull again. I have no way to haul it around to get the blades sharpened and would like to be able to do it myself.
Is this gadget dummy proof? I know nothing about sharpening blades.

I'm not home to get the name of it, but I can try to describe the tool. It's small enough to fit in your hand. It has a V notch that you drag across the blade. Only one side of the V has a sharpening effect. The other side is just a guide. It's sort of like the one illustrated at this website

I probably got it at Home Depot, Lowes, Wal-Mart, or Target.

This is one brand of the style of sharpeners Dchall is referring to:

http://www.accusharp.com/

I must admit that I have one and have never considered it for sharpening lawn mower blades. I always considered the notch too small to be effective on the size bevel that is on the larger blades; using it only for "rough" sharpening of utility type knives. However, as I looked at their (accusharp) site it definitely shows the sharpening of mower blades.
