Cordless Lawnmowers

I've had a Bosch battery one for 4 years. I have two batteries as I have a fair amount of grass to cut. Machine is light, I turn it on it's side everytime I finish and use a stiff brush to give it a clean. There are loads on the market, think Aldi had one last week for £79.99 and people seem really pleased with it. Shop around.

I have a Greenworks rechargeable battery mower. It's fine on my back grass which is fairly flat but it complains bitterly when I'm doing the front, which is thick and rather lumpy. It's just 'not man enough' for the job.

This is my experience as well. rechargeable battery mowers are lacking in 'wellie' and have a hissy fit if you try cut grass that is more than a couple of inches high and on anything less smooth and even thaan a bowling green.

We have a petrol motor mower and it is marvellous, back orf ront large lawn or small.

Let the person who does the mowing choose the mower.

Why don’t you consider a “robot” mower, they are a bit more expensive, but once set up the do a great job, both my daughters have one, one has a large but flat lawn the other has a little smaller but on a slope lawn, they cope brilliantly and I’m sure your son in law would help set them up for you.

Thank you Luckygirl

How about a self-mowing robotic one?
A friend has one and it's great!

(I've had a Roomba robotic carpet vacuum cleaner that works well - although my GSD's run away from it!!)

I'd love one of these for my son.
They are new but I love my Eufy vacuum and would definitely trust this...

My neighbor has a robot lawnmower that keeps everything tidy and runs on it's own every few days. It is very small and cost a small fortune. His grass is beautiful, even has the right stripes.

My son employs a robot vacuum.

What next? Will we have a robot roof and gutter cleaner soon? How about a robot that cleans the loo, pulls weeds from the garden or one to bring me breakfast in bed? Human robots (people) can deliver our groceries. Packaging companies have prepared and cooked our meals. Bouncies can rock the babies. What have we come to?

Can I have a robot to fall asleep at night for me because I can't do that very well anymore?

I would like a robot gutter cleaner!

Those who use robot lawnmowers, how does it cope with uneven slightly bumpy lawns?
Oh and can it cross over a slabbed garden path?

They sound great!

When I realised my husband was struggling with our corded lawnmower I suggested he get the GTech cordless one. He has been more than happy with it, and also has their cordless strimmer.

I have a Spear and Jackson battery cordless from Argos. It's out of guarantee but not heavily used as my lawn is usually cut by a gardener.

Unfortunately it's now faulty mower not gardener and no-one wants to repair it. I would advise that you ask about repair before you buy.

When it was working, it was light and easy to use and did a good job.

Mines a Shark and I cope well with it but the present gardener brings his own ,a petrol (I think) Stihl.

I agree with luckygirl13. My robot Flymo 350 does a good job and the guide wires keep it off the flower beds.

Yes, my neighbor's can. It cost a lot in preparations beforehand because he had to fill every little hole in his lawn first.

I meant "yes, my neighbor's can cross a bumpy path" but no, he had to completely level the lawn by adding soil and seed. The price was equal to about the price of a weekly landscaper for one year.
