From my experience the Gtech mowers are fine as long as you don't let the grass get too long, or try to cut it when its very wet.

Thanks ! They do seem very expensive !

If you search "Electric Cordless lawnmowers" on here you may find something of interest there.
Ignore the Electric in the title.

Just a thought, would it not be cheaper to pay someone to cut the grass? We pay £10 a week for someone to cut my mums grass.

I had a Bosch. Came with 2 batteries and a fast charger good for a large lawn.
Have you thought about a robotic lawn mower?

Thanks everyone! I spoke to mum who hadnt realised quite how expensive the gtech was.we are getting a Bosch for her now.
