Recently bought an electric plug in mower. 100 ft extension cord and it can reach every end of the area I keep mowed.

Was considerably cheaper than an equivalent gasoline operated one and I don't have to store/worry about gas. The cord is a very minor inconvenience comparatively.

I also have an electric mower and honestly that cord drives me fucking insane. There are many things in my yard that it can - and does - get caught up on.

I guess it really comes down to the shape of the yard! I do have 2 decent sized trees but I can get around them without much issue.
