And actualy, some of the Atco Admirals have electric start which would suit TB with his failing back

Being able to have a petrol toy mower is the only reason I wish I had more grass..

Although as anyone who has seen my garden knows, that would be ridiculous overkill

Gay!

Get a petrol! ...and you knows it.

Exactly my thought.  Why have lawn when you can turn it in to garage?

Like idea of cordless.... right up until the price. How friggin much 

Tight arse!  Thats probably slightly cheaper than the mower it is replacing...  ...those Hondas are bloody expensive now

Not really, prepared to pay a few quid for a decent one. But £350+ for a battery powered spinning cutter 

Petrol all the way.

Was looking at eBay myself at second hand ones, although not that brand Mark posted. Will keep an eye out for ones local to me. Sub £100 for a second hand petrol I think, if nothing comes up, cheapo wired leccy I think.

Ive got a B&Q cheap as chips £80 petrol mower, or it was 10 years ago, that price.....not done a thing to it in 10 years.....starts first time  ....(altho i do flood the carb before starting and let it belch out white smoke for 20-30secs before it settles down....otherwise its a bitch to start)

[tunnie]

Trouble is cheapest B&Q Mower now is Mountfield ones at around £170

[Marks DTM Calib]

And there crap, believe me, I have to fix the bloody things 

[Taxi_Driver]

Trouble is cheapest B&Q Mower now is Mountfield ones at around £170

Mines branded as B&Q with a mountfield engine in it 

And iirc the mountfield mowers B&Q were selling at time were over £100....so i went a B&Q mountfield 

If there that price now.....maybe i should look after it a bit  An oil change might be an idea....never had one  .....maybe even treat it to a new spark plug

Funny you should say that.. this came to join the 19' x 19' garage the other week: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=122791.new#new

There bloody rubbish and struggle like hell once the grass gets a bit longer.#

Plus as they age and the battery gets tired you get pissed off with them when they slow down and die half way through.

My advise will always be to buy a good make petrol second hand such as an Atco Admiral or the like such as :

I do have a natural distrust of plastic decks...

Why would anybody want a re chargeable lawn mower...?

Milk float anyone?

Because, having used an electric one since last summer, it takes longer to get the electricity to it than it takes to cut.

I was looking for something a little less bulky than petrol, due to a desire to keep garage less cluttered.


Hence, I was looking for advice/info from people who have actually owned/used one.  Online reviews seem overwhelmingly positive, though I suspect long, wet grass will drain the battery if cutting too short.

You're certainly doing well on that score.

We've discussed this before. The ONLY acceptable lawn mower, is a petrol lawn mower. A MANS lawn mower. None if this Gay BMW owners I've no idea but got all the gay gear electric rubbish.
