Hi all

No real surprise that these things are now on the menu, but are
Â* any real folks ditching the petrol models to get
Â* these?

What is the likely life span of the batteries? Have they been
Â* round long enough to know?

The area I have to cut is around 15m x 6m.Â* Anyone like to
Â* recommend a model suitable for this?

When my lawn was that size I used a mains mower.

I just googled, and the first one I recognised was a Makita 18V, 15 inch
with two 5Ah batteries at £280.

My old mains mower was 900W. at 18V 900W is 50A. Which means the
batteries would last 6 minutes each.

A similar size mains one from Bosch is £137.

work for almost an hour on one charge.
