Having recently broken our ancient small third-hand corded lawnmower and acquired a house with a largish lawn area I'm in need of a replacement and rather than faff with cables I'm tempted to go cordless (not interested in petrol) and looking for recommendations/advice!?
Total lawn area 300-350 sqm although we plan on turning part of it into a wildlife/meadow area and so will be mowing maybe a third of that less frequently. Budget £200-350 although may stretch for something good and preferably with batteries compatible with other garden/diy power tools made by the same company. I already have a Bocsh 18V drill with 2 x 1.5Ah batteries so I am tempted by a Bosch CityMower 18V-32-300 (and getting a compatible grass trimmer) but I'm concerned it might not have enough oophm...
Thanks

    Advice - go cordless. It's just so much easier than mowing with a mower with cables.

    I'm not sure it has enough oomph either. Ok for small short lawns. A larger cutting width is a good idea. I use 36cm. My mower uses two 24V 2ah batteries. It will keep going for about 45 minutes. However if the grass is longer and tougher and a bit wet it lasts for less time.
