I had one like that but unfortunately it seem to be the only model to be made out of metal! So after loaning it to a neighbor I got back a rusted piece of bolts. If anyone is disabled like me and has severe back problems I suggest what I purchased to replace that. I got a 40volt ryobi 20” self propelled mower. I love it! Had it 2yr now. With Home Depot credit card you can get no interest for a time frame but also you get 365 day to return items. I also got a weed eater that’s a power head was cheaper than buying an extra battery. The mower folds super small. The handle folds in half then it folds up against the mower and can sit upright like on its rear and take up limited space. It has led headlights so I can mow n the dark and is super quiet so it won’t bother anyone. One shocking plus is the mulching option is just as good as a bagged option but better for the lawn. You literally can’t tell it wasn’t bagged. And ollies sells a blower similar to one Lowe’s carries for 79.99 but cost 9.99! It attaches to power head. I found a cultivator, edger, and extra weed eater attachment used for 45.00. I do have a small yard but the 2 batteries is plenty to use self propelled and has cruise control. Cleans off super easy. I do use lubricant and I messed up a blade hit something like concrete it sharpened right out but replacement blade is 20.00 from Home Depot. Found these on special and so glad I purchased them. It’s so easy even without self propelled option. I’m 45 but have spine fracture and rupture discs and have no issues with maneuvering this mower: hope this helps

This is definitely a good idea for those with a small yard and an outside outlet. I’ve been using an electric corded mower for years, and it pretty much needs no maintenance outside cleaning and blade sharpening that you’d need to do on any other mower. There isn’t really much to go wrong, as it’s really just power up to a switch and then down to the motor, with no circuit boards or additional parts to get damaged and nothing but the motor to wear out.

If you have a small lawn, one of the old school corded electric mowers may make sense. Even less maintenance, as there are no batteries to wear out, and the mowers themselves don’t break. About all you ever need to do it sharpen the blade once in a while. But it’s really a viable option for small city yards; the cord gets to be too much of a pain if you need more than 50 feet of it.
