Electric mowers are for the occasional garden lawn mowing Sunday

I used to agree (having repaired a good many friends' ones).


Are they, bejabers? Mains electric mowers are by far the best solution
for small lawns, and we have had a few for the past 30+ years.

Which part of the op's post about the size did you miss? 300ft x 80ft....
That's a bloody long extension lead


You clearly did not read the post I was responding to.

(a) That is NOT a small lawn. (b) It is complete nonsense that
they are for solely the class of gardeners specified; they are
commonly used for business premises (often large ones), where the
amount of grass is small and next to the building.

I wouldn't use one for a 24,000 square foot lawn, either. Mine
is a tenth that size, at most.
