I like our Hayter, chassis is ally and spares are available should they be needed. Ours is quite old although it doesn't look it but this appears to be the current model... http://www.hayter.co.uk/pages/consum...electric.mhtml -- Regards Bob Hobden |

Uses no energy (except your own), and makes NO NOISE (except the ancient traditional one). Cost 49 quid at B&Q. My neighbours have power mowers, and I swear they take longer to cut their lawns than I do, with my little push-mower. One thing: these are lawn mowers, not grass cutters. That is, they do not stand up well to wood debris, much less stones. (Whereas your average power mower will fling such debris aside.) j. |

Sigh. I have a neighbour that used to take 2+ hours to cut 5mx5m of lawn with an extremely noisy petrol mower, every Sunday. It seems to have died, and they now have one that does the job more quietly in just over an hour. I mow a larger area in 15 minutes. | One thing: these are lawn mowers, not grass cutters.

My location is called Stone Hill, and there are trees that drop twigs. To Bob Hobden: thanks - that looks about right. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
