Anyone own a cordless lawnmower?

[LaganOnABubble]

If so, what are your thoughts?

Would you recommend?

I used to have a cordless strimmer. Battery didn't last that long and over time it ran out of power quicker and quicker. Never replaced it when it finally died which was less than a year.

We own a petrol mower, happy with it.

I’m wary of storing petrol

We have a Spear & Jackson one bought from Argos at the end of last summer so only been used 4 or 5 times but my husband is very happy with it. He loves his garden gadgets but this has been a real hit.

Yes, I have a Bosch Rotak cordless mower. I've had a corded one in the past, but hated having to watch the cable all the time. Then had a cheap push mower which became hard work (I'm 72), so splashed out a couple of years ago for the Bosch. As my lawn is average sized, the charge is more than enough to do the job, and the mower gives a lovely finish. It's rather heavy to lift (my shed is a bit awkward to get into), but that's outweighed by the effortlessness of mowing. Also got a cordless strimmer for the edges, which makes short work of them.

It’s spear and Jackson we are looking st, so thank you

I have a petrol and a gtech one, I love them both.

The petrol is brilliant at getting through when the grass had got a bit long and thick.

You shouldn't use petrol over 30 days old ( so you could get a small amount each time rather than storing it) as it starts to deteriorate and isn't good for the mower, also never tip a petrol mower on it's side as that makes the oil cover parts of the engine that should never get oil on them, always tip it back on the handle.
I was told this by the person that repaid nine.

The gtech is great for a quick wizz round. The battery last 40 mins, I have a quick charger that can do it in a hour but that's not good for the battery long term, the other charger takes several hours.

I have a petrol mower. No cable would be long enough to get to the end!

I have just bought one from Aldi, and am eagerly awaiting its arrival.

I have a Bosch cordless. Came with two batteries. It's ideal as I am now on my own, couldn't cope with a petrol one and my lawn is too big for an electric one. It's fairly light and virtually maintenance free. I love it . Would get another one if it packed in.

Yes it’s a push along one, needs a bit of effort though.

By the way have had this Bosch cordless since 2007, so quite reliable.

I have one of these and think it's great

Flymo Mighti-Mo

Wish I had gone cordless years ago.

Yes. Greenman. It's great.mows my small lawn half a dozen times between charges.

But it is quite heavy.

Yes I love my one.

Just got a Bosch cordless when our Bosch corded died. I love it.

I have a 56v Ego. It cuts through jungles! I love it. My whole family now demand to use it over their petrol and corded ones.

Yes - i have an Ego cordless mower and strimmer. I love the mower but the strimmer is a bit heavy for me.

Petrol is far better imo. What’s the rational with not using “old” petrol? Should be fine in a Jerry can surely?

Bosch rotak, absolutely love it for my small plant- crammed garden. Highly recommended.

Yes. I got one last year, and it is brilliant. Mowing the lawn with it is so much easier than having to mess around with cables and extension leads.

I can't remember the brand so will post later. I did a lot of research and reading reviews before buying, and am very pleased with it.

Thank you everyone

I love mine. Only used 4 times so far and our lawn isn't huge but it makes it so much easier than tripping over the wire!

Our garden is about 150 feet long and my dh cuts it with a petrol mower. We are both old and I worry that I can’t pull the starter no matter how many times I try. I suggested a cordless but he doesn’t think it would be much good unless your garden is a lot smaller than ours.
