Any recommendations for powered gardening equipment? We're moving from rented accommodation, so a lot of the gardening kit we've used previously was the landlord's.
I've decided I'd really like a cordless, battery powered mower (make it easier to mow the lawn without the faff of cables and an extension, avoid the dirty nature of a petrol mower). Looking at recommendations from "Which?", there's a Spear & Jackson one that scores highly at around the £360 mark. But then I started looking at their strimmers and other things like hedge trimmers, and it looks like each one has their own unique batteries that comes with the unit.
This feels annoying to me. From a simplicity perspective I'd like as few batteries and chargers as possible.
So then I started looking at things like Ryobi's One+ range, which seems to fit the bill in terms of being able to have a single set of batteries power everything, but seems like it'll be a decent bit more expensive for a comparative product, somehow.
I'd really love to hear some real life experiences from those with recent experience on this.
