Default lawnmower advice

Hello,

I bought a Bosch electric lawnmower around 2001-2002. It has an
induction motor, so it's fairly quiet. I have only had to change the
capacitor once. I have two grumbles with it: if the grass is slightly
wet, it doesn't go into the collection basket very well. Perhaps this
is a problem with all mowers? My other grumble is no matter which
direction I go in, I always seem to get the cable in the way.


I've got a Bosch battery mower and it is pretty excellent (with 2
batteries, one charging, the other in the mower). Powerful, grass does
pick up pretty well into the box even when damp and light and no cables.
