I have gone green with my mower, and it is the most fab thing i have ever bought. It has a wide blade and the idea was that the DC could use it and not electricute themselves. They wanted to use the electric mower but had visions of them going over the lead.

I am delighted. It is light to carry and can be used in long grass, wet grass. Life is so easy, now whereas before, it was a case of lugging the big mower out of the garage untangling the wire, having the door blowing around while i mowed as the plug was indoors.

not very good at links but if i can do it i will show you.

You have to push it to make it work...?

i am afraid i do but it really isnt hard work at all. i love it.

I've just bought a self propelled one because the push mower was far too much work Having said that, my garden is 200 feet long, uphill and undulating!

Looks good. I have a friend who had a very old push along mower, and she said it was dreadful, but they recently got a new one (no idea which make etc) and said it's much easier. How does pushing it compare to an electric one? We have a really annoying hovermower, that I hate. How big is your lawn, and how long does it take to do with this one? (sorry, lots of questions!)

how does that work, is it a petrol one?

jackieno - I have a large garden about 150 long and 150 wide and large frontage too.{blush}

It really isnt that hard work, I had to battle with my electric one as parts of my garden are on a slope and constantly the mower was sliding toward the wire.

I mowed yesterday in 15 mins, but maybe because i keep doing it every few days because i love it so much. Shame you cannot really try mowers before you buy because i have had some disapointing ones which look great but not really up to the job and very hard work.

I recently got myself this Brill manual mower and it is fab! No effort to push at all - much, much easier than the electric one we had before, and without the hassle of getting out extension cables etc.

Can't recommend it enough.

yes, that looks a good one ohdear. Can't agree enough about the aggro with the electric one. I had thought of a petrol one and all i picture is myself yanking that wire constantly to get it to fire up, but i suppose they dont start like that anymore.

Interesting - thanks for that. Ohdear - I thought 'brill' was a description of the mower, then I opened the link and found it was the name .

Lol at 'large frontage' too .
