Cordless battery lawnmowers

[spangle82]

Hi all - finally got tried of wrangling with the cord on my Flymo hover mower and thought Id look at cordless ones. My lawn is only about 100m2 so no need for V8s!

First thing I see is there are no cordless hover mowers - presume they use too much power for batteries?

So if I have to have a rotary one... Amazon have the Flymo Mighti-Mo but recent reviews haven't been good. A google found https://www.mowdirect.co.uk/lawn-mowers/cordless-b... - some novel brands there. I like Wolf but it looks like a Noddy car!

Does anyone have experience of these things and if so what do they think please?

Actually. Mega bargain in budget!

At that price it's not a daft idea... but the front lawn is flush with a pavement and road. Would it know where the lawn stopped, or would it start mowing the road too?!!

Thanks for all the replies, very helpful.

Well they go on boundary wires so that aspect would be fine, however probably not appropriate, someone would nick it if you're open at the front.

Are the wires physical or can they be buried?

If not it would be a hazard as well as nickable and I'd need another mower to do the front.

Well in conclusion, and after much surfing around last night, Ive decided to get a manual mower. No cords or extension leads to wrangle, no recharging, cheap, light and easy to store in a tiny shed. Thanks for helping me decide.

I posted abut this a few weeks ago as I was fed up with fighting with mains leads and extension reels.

Cordless seemed a logical step from a mains Flymo, but then I realised that Id end up with another charger, and batteries, and charging to worry about instead. So after much research I bought a £40 push mower from B&Q! https://www.diy.com/departments/mac-allister-fphm3... Very simple, very quiet, no motor, no leads, no batteries, no chargers, you just carry it out and use it. 38cm is a decent width and for a small lawn its ideal.
