I’m after an electric lawn mower
I think I’ve decided on two below.
I like Bosch design, ergonomics, the collapsible grass catcher for storage (although could be negative) , but is it style over substance of Stihl which produce quality, simplistic machines.
Anyone have a Stihl as hard to find reviews

Bosch advancedrotak 650

Or

Stihl RME 339

I've got the Bosch Advanced Rotak 750 here.

It's a good mower, the collapsable grass bin seems sturdy enough although I've only had it since October.

It dealt with cutting my lawn when it was wet last week no problem. I kind of wish I'd gone cordless, but power wise this is good and it flies through my lawn. Happy overall.

Edit - I like the ergonomics of the Bosch a lot. I moved from a Flymo which gave me back pain.

The Stihl Mower comes with a 5 year warranty, the Bosch comes with a 2 year standard warranty.

Although if you service the Stihl I found it which isn’t worth it when it’s about £50 a service

Thanks
Cordless is a lot more and having tried one, it’s annoying when you run out of juice and doesn’t have as much cutting power as corded
