I picked up the Bosch hand mower recently, we have a very bumpy shit lawn at the moment but when I get round to sorting the garden it will mainly be planted up so I won’t have much mowing to do.
The mower is fine. It doesn’t collect the trimmings well, but I rake it up after. For £40 I’m perfectly happy

@Jameo it's definitely a lot more than I expected a well reviewed battery mower to be. I'd much rather spend a lot less, but I also don't want to buy a crappy cheap version that is terrible and then I end up buying twice. Honestly, I hadn't even considered a manual one. I've never used one and don't know anyone who has one. I've done a bit of reading and it sounds like they're best used with very flat lawns where the grass is kept very short. Does that sound about right in your experience?
@hugo7 I had assumed robot mowers were all still around a grand for a decent one, but I see you can get a fairly decent one or £330 these days so I will investigate.
I'm still very torn. I suspect I may end up getting a corded one for about 100 quid and then hopefully the battery technology will be better and cheaper in about 5 years when that breaks.
