Bought a bosch cordless mower years ago.
Came with 2 batteries, so 1 can be charging (recharging) whilst using the other. One battery just about does front and back (even after years of use); medium sized if that helps.
One of the best purchases I've made!
100% recommend cordless.
Just of course get the right size for your garden.

p.s. Alf is wrong. They are not heavy at all.

Been out cutting the grass this morning, I swear the older I get the heavier my petrol mower gets.
So, I'm thinking of going light and cordless and I've seen a Ryobi 18v package with mower and strimmer. Convenient and light bit is it any good?
Anyone had experience with Ryobi tools in general or the 18v mower or strimmer in particular? Or any other recommendations, apart from hiring a gardener...

Almost all of my cordless power tools are Ryobi. Excellent value for money for home use and the same battery/chargers for everything.

I got my Mum a Ryobi cordless mower as she kept mowing over the cord (like every week) <doh> It's been really good and is very light which was something I was looking for as she's in her 70s.

Our gardeners great, he comes every Wednesday, uses a sit on mower and keeps the gardens in pristine condition.
All I do is sit and watch from my settee or sat at one of the garden tables.

My next door's gardener turns up every Tuesday, strimming and mowing. Little bastard starts at 8am sharp <yikes>

My push mower works through hard work and sweat,you should see the lather my Mrs gets into on a hot day cutting the grass!!!

It's a bit easier for her when she kneels on her cushion and cuts round all the edges with her scissors though...She's a Trojan that lass :emoticon-0148-yes:

Mines the same , she will spend 4 hours in the garden weeding then she’ll have to show me what she’s done - it’s usually about a sq metre! But it looks immaculate - . Bless her !

Is this a Mars/Venus thing?

My Missus will spend hours deadheading, re-positioning and tweaking and at the end of it you can't see she's done anything.

My baseline approach to gardening involves a flamethrower, a chainsaw and a barrel of agent orange (ok, I exaggerate but that's the philosophy of my approach). If after a couple of hours I haven't significantly transformed the garden landscape then I feel it's been a waste of time.
