Default What is the best electric rotary mower for a striped finish

Im looking for an electric rotary mower for a small (50m2) lawn which will give the best striped finish. Any recommendations?
So far the i've found the Bosh Rotax 40 and the Flymo Multimo 360 XC. They both have rollers but are they any good at giving a striped finish.
Is an electric mower even heavy enough to get a striped finish even if it has a roller? I guess i could weight it down somehow?
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Any rotary mower, even with a roller, will not give a real striped finish
because the rotary blade cuts multiple directions as it turns and the roller
will only press the grass down slightly so the effect will only last a short
time until the grass stands up by itself.

A reel mower cuts the grass only one way with a scissor action that creates
the striped finish that lasts for much longer than you can achieve with a
simple roller on the mower.

According to me The Bosch Rotak 34 electric rotary lawnmower is best.It has a high torque 1400W ‘Powerdrive’ motor that enables it to tackle long grass with ease. With the innovative grass combs it can cut up to or over the edge of your lawn. It has a full 34cm cutting width, a rear roller for stripes and a wide range of cutting heights from 20 to 70mm, making it ideal for small- to medium-sized lawns.
