    What do you mean by cordless mowers please maltaron? Motor mowers with or without electric start or robotic mowers?

    I imagine there must be battery mowers? I had a cordless (battery) strimmer, and it was rubbish. The battery didn't last long enough for normal use.

      Saw this Bosch Rotak 370 lithium-ion one in B&Q which has good reviews.

      I would've been tempted if it weren't for the price tag.

      I ended up buying the corded Bosch Rotak 370 which I like so would recommend the make.

      Bosch claim they mow right up to the edge, which they don't, but they do get closer than any other mower I've owned.

      I had a battery operated strimmer, worked great as only small areas, BUT, the battery failed and as I had had it about 3 years the design had changed and cannot get a new battery..
