Anyone got or used a cordless lawnmower? Are they any good?

[Impret-Sir]

And are they very heavy compared to a normal electric model?

[Loosehead]

Yes they are a lot better, my petrol mower makes short work of the lawn.

[Impret-Sir]

Thanks loosehead, but I really meant cordless electric mowers!

[Loosehead]

Didn't realise such a beast existed!

I've used one for about three years for trimming and areas that I can't reach with the tractor.  It performs very well, is quiet and charges back to full in about 4 to 6 hours.  However, it probably wouldn't be a good mower if you had an extensive lawn, say anything above 1/2 acre.  Additionally, I'm not aware of any that are self-propelled...

I love my petrol mower, so much better and safer without a cable to worry about, and no heavier than an electric one.

[Clanad]

Ummm, fibifooz, this has no cable... it's cordless.... No filling the tank and no noxious fumes... plug it in when the cutting is complete to recharge...

[fibifooz]

Sorry.  Haven't seen one of those, but it sounds good.

Thanks for those answers, now, I just have to try and actually find a shop selling one.............
