When it comes to lawnmowers, many people still find an electrically-powered one lighter and easier to handle.
So here are a couple of top notch machines, one battery powered so there is no trailing cable to worry about and the other self-propelled to make mowing the lawn an even easier task.
The first is the Mountfield Princess 38Li Cordless 4-Wheel Rear Roller Lawn Mower powered by a lithium ion battery and which also has a rear roller for a striped finish.
The lithium ion battery gives enough power to cut a 300m2 lawn and can be re-charged in only two hours.
Clippings can either be collected, discharged or mulched and returned to the lawn. And there are six cutting heights from 25mm to 74mm.
It has been designed with higher rear wheels to make it easy to turn, and has a ‘comb’ which smooths the grass before it is cut and gives a better finish.
It costs £319, £40 less than the price recommended and is delivered the next working day. And there is a two-year warranty from Mountfield.
The Wolf-Garten Expert 40EA Self-Propelled Electric Lawn Mower is one of the few self-propelled electrically-powered mowers on the market and is is easy and comfortable to use.
The drive is to the rear wheels and it has a 40cm cutting width through a 1600 Watt electric motor.
With this one you can change from cutting and collecting to mulching grass just at the flick of a switch.
It has five cutting heights from 25mm to 75mm.
It has 20 metres of cable and a clever system to keep this cables away from your feet and prevent tangles.
It costs £259, £40 less than the price recommended and it has a one year warranty. We deliver it free the next working day.
