Electric battery lawn mower

[JohnV6]

My petrol mower is getting on a bit as am I. I am thinking of replacing it with a battery driven model. The lawn is flat & roughly 80m2.
I would prefer a self propelled version as I need a total knee replacement at some stage.

What would be the recommendation from the forum members for the best buy.

Bought a Cobra self propelled battery mower, about 4 years ago now, it's been great, I'll get you the exact model number,
when I get home. Got one coz couldn't be arsed with an electric cable one, unwinding and winding the cable, then keep moving it when mowing. And didn't want a petrol one either, always pulling me tripe out trying to start, the bloody thing, particularly after the winter lay off.

Does your car do V2L? you could buy a good electric one and an adaptor for a lot less money than a mediocre battery model.

Wouldn't you still be messing with a cable though.

Sure, but the OP might still be happy with that. It's an option.

I have a Worx battery mower (rotary blade type, not cylinder). It's one I have to push though, not ride-on.

I also have a Worx strimmer and drill/screwdriver - the batteries are all interchangeable.

Think he wants a hand self propelled one.
He's only got an 80 square metre lawn.

That would be ok if you had a corded electric mower and you wanted to mow the village green, but if you're using a corded mower at home, you might as well just plug it in at home?

 

[JohnV6]

It does have v2l but I don't want a corded unit. Nor do I need a ride on.

This is very similar to mine, but mine's about 4 years old now, and still working perfectly. The one below is probably an improved model.

 

[JohnV6]

Thanks. I'll follow that up. I'm thinking I'll wait for the Autumn sales.

I've been using an Einhell 36v one for a few months, not self propelled though. came with 2 batteries and chargers. If the grass is short it runs at low speed but ups the power for longer stuff. It's very light to push around or lift onto a bank in my case.

Like all my power tools I have gone for Ryobi. The mower isn’t propelled but is quite light and my grass area is about the same as the OP’s
So I have half a dozen batteries that fit all the tools. If I’ve ever bought new I get the bare tool without a battery. Much cheaper.

I have an Einhell mower too. It's getting on for 2 years old, never missed a beat and is easy to push even with my bad knees. I also have the matching strimmer which uses the same battery.

I've got a Cleva Lawnmaster robot mower nicknamed Moby, I just sit back and watch him do all the work, he does a great job.

I have two Worx robot mowers that cover a 3000 sq metre garden. I even run them at night. Just sit back and watch them. All my tools are Worx and naturally interchangeable with the battery system. Too old to push mowers around

I have used Greenworks' mowers for years. They also feature the separate battery which can be used with other Greenworks' products (strimmer, etc). They have a self-propelled mower version here.

Greenworks are a good product, I have quite a few garden tools by them all sharing the same battery
