If I was buying one, I would go battery also. I have too many gas powered units though that people have given me. A piece of fuel line, maybe a primer bulb and refill the string spool; good to go. Sell em or give them away when there are too many around. Currently have a couple of Homelites and a couple of Ryobis I use occasionally. Have to keep two cycle fuel around for the chain saws anyway so it isn't a problem.
