Default Electric lawn mowers: do they cut it?

do it twice, once on high and then again on the normal height setting.


That's interesting because we have to do that anyway with our petrol
mower. I wonder if an battery mower would be lighter and make it easier
to do it more often (I hate the noise of mowers).

Perhaps we could keep a petrol mower for the times that the lawn gets
out of hand, but use it sparingly.

That is of course assuming we have the money....
