Is electric start worth it????

[chrisk]

Looking at a new walk behind and was wondering if electric start was worth the $300 extra???????
Thanks

Yes.

Especially if you're using the machine yourself. It's so nice on those cool "3 pull" mornings.

Plus, if you ever want to put a spreader or other assecory on your mower you're set.

Plus resale value.

I've pulled out more recoils then I've replaced starters.

No way....

When it does go bad - $150+ to replace.

Plan on replacing the battery almost yearly.

Just more things to go wrong.

if you keep your mower tuned up u shouldn't need it. all though it is nice

I Think it's worth it. Most of my mowers have the big motor option. So you automatically get electric start.
