That's a good point. Items like push mowers have started years ago. I was skeptical about even considering buying one for years but when Kobalt came out with a lightweight mulching/bagged push mower with 2 lithium ion batteries that each run about 30 or more minutes (depending on grass height), I was sold and bought one. I couldn't be happier with its performance. Beats pushing that previous heavy mower around and having to stop it to fill it up again with gas. Plus, I can use one battery in the mower while the other is charging - only takes them 30 minutes or less to fully charge!
I am interested in that new Oreck Pod vacuum that is coming out, but it states it takes 2.5 hours to fully charge the battery...wish it was less time.
