Electric mower on a steep incline?

I have a back yard that has a steep incline, probably about 30 degrees. The power electic mower is very heavy to maneuver, can tip sideways being top heavy when going across and cant make it up the hill. A hand push reel mower doesn't work very well either. I am considering trying an electric mower. Will that work? I cant afford to have a company come and mow my lawn. Any suggestions other than letting die and make my life easier? Thanks

    I’d suggest growing something else that you don’t have to trim. Any push mower will have an issue of being tippy.

    Electric mowers are much lighter. If you have an outside outlet and the proper extension cord it will work.

    Yes, plug-in mowers are very, very light in weight, also very easy to care for, only requiring blade sharpening. I think that’s the way to go on the hill. I do like the idea of putting down ground cover, though. If it’s not easy to mow, find a way not to have to.
