Recommend me a lawnmower please

Mains electric cylinder mowers seem to be a thing of the past. I had one long ago but when it needed replacing, there were very few available and they were expensive. I got a push cylinder mower and an electric rotary for less, with the idea that I would use the rotary for the first few cuts of the year, but in the end I wasn't really using it at all so I gave it away.
You can get battery ones, and petrol, but they are expensive. The market is probably more professional gardeners and sports facilities (golf courses, bowling greens etc) than domestic. Examples Cylinder Lawnmowers - Electric, Petrol & Battery Cylinder Mowers

 

As opposed to the woman who lived near me @AnniD . I was wondering what the noise was one night - about 10.30pm. I looked out the window, and it took a while to be able to see her - and she was cutting her grass. It was almost dark. Totally ignorant.
I appreciate we all work different hours etc, but I'd have been mightily peed off if I was getting up at stupid o'clock for work, which I di have to do in the distant past. I'd have gone round and 'had a word'...

 

OP here, I was off the grid for a few days.

Thanks for the replies. Would like to avoid a corded lawnmower, so that Bosch AHM38G looks like it will do the job. The Webb lawnmower that was also mentioned doesn’t seem to have as many cutting levels, so I may opt for the Bosch.

A quick question:
The Bosch cuts to a maximum height of 40mm which is just over 1.5 in inches, so not long at all. People have mentioned on here you need to cut regularly. In the Summer months when it grows quicker but it is wet for most of the week (as it can be in Ireland), should you still just go out and cut the wet grass to prevent it getting to a height that the Bosch won’t cut?

 

I'm only cutting mine once a fortnight at the moment and there's no problem. It will actually cope with quite long grass, it's just more of an effort.

 

Agree with @Escarpment. Ours copes fine, I think a lot of people don’t keep the blades sharp enough. OH sharpens the blades regularly

 

The grass can be longer than 1.5" when you cut it - it'll easily take it down to that from 3" or so. Living in a drier part of the country mine rarely gets that long, and I start cutting it as soon as it starts growing - can be February if it's mild, and I can be cutting it right through into December if it doesn't get cold enough to stop it from growing.

I do cut grass when it's a bit wet. If there's dew on it (spring and, particularly, autumn) or raindrops from a recent shower, I swish it off with a long thin cane then leave it half an hour or so. It doesn't dry it completely but it's enough.

 

The Bosch is supposed to be self-sharpening - I've only had mine a couple of years so can't vouch for how true that is.

 

I don’t think ours is, I’ll ask OH. We’ve had our Bosch since 2016

 

I never cut mine shorter than about 1.5 inches, despite the rain here. Most people in wetter areas [certainly round here] scalp grass because they know the rain will arrive soon and the grass will grow quickly again. Not a great idea IMO.
It's healthier if cut little and often, and yes - we often have to do it when it's wet. Not a problem but it does help if blades are sharp. It always comes down to how fussy you are about grass though.
