Charging 4x is not an issue with two batteries.
Calling these machines "trash" is still extremely hyperbolic and helps no one. No solution is perfect; my parents are elderly but still enjoy the exercise of mowing the lawn; not having to clear out seasonal gas, clean out carbs, and push around heavy machines is a boon to them, so electric is ideal for them.

Most kentucky blue grass isn't as healthy as mine and it's thin. You've probably never mowed any this thick.
By now if I'd had a battery mower I would probably have needed to buy a new battery at least once, for more than all the maintenance I've done on my mower.
It's worth pointing out that back when I bought my Honda Ego wasn't well known yet and they hadn't been in the mower game long. At that time their 21" mower was $600 with one battery and I definitely would need two for my yard. So it actually would have been more expensive than my Honda.
At this point it doesn't make sense to replace a perfectly functional mower that still runs like it's brand new.
I'm not against people getting Ego mowers, and I'll probably get one someday.
All of my other lawn equipment is Ego.
Changing the oil in a lawn mower which is something people might do once every 3 years -is nothing. It takes like 1/5 quart of oil -if that. Cleaning out an air filter takes 5 minutes. Cleaning off a spark plug takes 5 minutes. The hardest maintenance is sharpening a blade (which should be done Every Year) and people with electric mowers are not immune to that.
I understand the argument about old gas but the maintenance argument constantly tossed around is bunk.
If you can easily cut your grass after 2 weeks with one of these great, I've got better things to do than be out there constantly cutting grass.

Very easy to hold the handle and mindlessly pull back on the engaged drive.
Other considerations:
- No more gas! Plop in a battery and go.
- If you invest in the other tools, one battery to rule them all.
- Batteries last a while. I have a small yard, but easily able to edge, trim the many bushes, mow and blow everything one my one 7.5a battery. I also have a 5a, both being more than enough to do my yard.
- The mower comes with a quick charger, so as long as you are good about swapping the battery, even for large jobs you should be fine.
- It's pretty light. Makes it pretty easy to maneuver.
- It folds up nice and tight. Keep mine vertical up against the wall so it takes up minimal space.
I highly recommend the EGO as it super quiet and easy to use. She got the smaller version. I just took the plunge and bought one for myself.
