I would be grateful for help on the selection of mowers which recycle the

Can't help with brand names or models, but gasoline powered is a must for
blade speed when mulching.


Blade speed is the same with electric or gas.


*insert Tim Allen grunt*
"URRRGH?"

That *entirely* depends on the speed in which the shaft of the engine
rotates. Plus, an electric motor will struggle *much* more with taller
grass that a gas-powered engine will. This will slow the electric motor
down, thereby decreasing the blade speed.

No? =)
