I did the same, with the EGO line of tools. It's so much more enjoyable to do landscaping tasks without the noise.

I recently got the Ryobi riding mower, which is a glorified golf cart (lead-acid batteries) but works really well as a rough cut. When the blades are in action, it makes the sound of a box fan, and when the blades are off, it's totally quiet.

For the tools that I haven't electrified (my Mantis tiller and Trucut reel mower), I stick with Honda engines. They are a marvel of reliability compared to the others. Only exception is my shredder which has a Kholer engine and does seem to be good too. All these start on first pull after a winter in storage.

Also have EGO mower and trimmer. Amazing, very powerful tools. The 5A battery (280 Wh) charges really fast, empty to full in maybe 40 minutes.
