Hi, has anyone had experience of battery powered rotary mowers.
My father inlaw wants to stay independent and has trouble starting
conventional petrol mowers,
His lawn is around 20mtrs by 10mtrs and not fast growing he prefers just to
top it weekly.
One option would an electric start petrol mower but the price would be out
of reach.
Any advice welcome.

Have you considered a self-propelled electric mower such as the
Wolf-Garten 40EA?

I've just got one of these and it worked well on a 20 x 20 m lawn (high
cut on long, wet grass). The cable guide allows it to move from side to
side as the mower is turned and it keeps out of the way. It's much
quieter than a petrol mower and you don't have to worry about filling it!
