Lawnmower recommendations

Slightly boring topic but can anyone point me in the direction of a lawnmower that they would recommend and would fit my bill please?
Currently I have a small Flymo and I’m quite tired of continually having to empty the grass collector (approx 8-10 times per cut)
I have roughly about a 6 car-sized amount of grass to do.
I would like a petrol ( I think, fed up trailing and flicking the cable around too!)
The grass slopes in both directions quite steeply in places so nothing too heavy as I think it would make it too difficult.
My other “want” is for it to make nice lines in the grass Smile
Would probably spend up to about £200 for something that would do the job well
Thanks in advance

I have a cordless electric one and I love it. It's no longer a chore. I think you can buy them for around £200. Mine is a qualcast. I bought it 2nd hand for £70 but will never go back to corded now so will gladly pay full price when it breaks.

I have a rechargeable cordless one with a back roller that makes nice stripes !
I really like it, costs approx £200, and lasts 45mins before the battery needs a recharge. It’s much quieter than most and very efficient. It’s a Spear & Jackson.
I find petrol mowers very heavy to manoeuvre, difficult to ignite and extremely noisy.

I think petrol ones need servicing which put me off as well as having the petrol in

I went for a cordless one with rechargeable battery which is fantastic as cannot be doing with a cable. One I push at my pace rather than being dragged along behind it. One of the Bosch Rotak ones, look at JustLawmowers site.

Another fan of the Bosch Rotak cordless mower. I got mine about 3 years ago, and I’m very pleased with it. They are a bit more expensive, but are easy to use, and no trailing cord to worry about.
