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.

One for the front lawn, and one for the back.
Once you get to know them they will become your Best Friends.

The Robot mowers are hedgehog destroyers if not monitored closely - friends of ours run a Hedgehog Rescue centre and see far too many macerated hogs this time of year..
