You may not think so, many do.
My wife certainly loves the fact that you dont have to mess about with cords - flipping them out of the way all the time (our garden is also long, so extensions needed as well). Plus in 10 years she managed to run over the cord at least twice.
She now has a cordless, so its just get it out, mow the lawn, put it away, no messing.
She charges the battery afterwards, ready for next time (she has two batteries, so they get rotated).
