I can't believe it, now all of a sudden my electric mower is making motor noise, and last Dec, the same thing happened with an electric blower. In one second, is tanks out as if hit by an EMP, both are less than two years old and supposed to last for ever; Makita. We are now royally screwed because we cannot afford to replace anything including my trimmer that my wife broke last year also. Anyone ever have electric garden tools crap out within 2 years? Doesn't seem normal, just like being banned on this board several times a page, everyday, every page.
