More electric stuff

[Drago]

On TV there are now ads for a battery powered lawnmower. Does anyone have one? Are they any good? I've got a battery strimmer, some German thing, and that's pretty decent, but a mower is a good step up.

That Gtec thing will be total crapp..
You can tell in the add. even on a neat manicured lawns it's crapp..it's too light and flimsy

If you want a good mower it needs to be larger and heavier..with an engine or a plug.
You can get a decent mower for a lot less than that Gtec..£250 ish will get you a good mower

In was looking at Subaru powered mowers recently, but my garden is medium sized and quote flat, so they would have been overkill and then some. Plus being the new age hippy I've become I don't want a petrol mower.

The gtech mower did indeed look poop, as does anything bearing their name, but with battery technology and stored energy density improving as it has, I was curious if any other such mowers were any good?

I have a 18" McCullough electric . ..it's been fine for my garden..little cheap but ok.
It's in its 4th season..and still works fine
My work one is a big rotory..with an engine..

Has any body tried the g tech bike ?

I have one of these in really nice condition, made in 1896 according to Ransomes.

Forgot too add, we have a Honda lawnmower as well.

I have the Gtech ebike, got over a thousand miles of commuting on it now and it hasn't missed a beat!.

The battery on the Mower looks night on Identical so it should do a decent sized lawn.

A few people I know bought their vacuum cleaners and are very happy with them!

The ebike is very well thought out, very clean and simple design and just works, Gates Carbon Drive is a godsend..

[QUOTE 4783761, member: 9609"]I was wondering about these, if I was having a snooze on the lawn could it suddenly arrive and slice off one of my lugs ?[/QUOTE]

Undoubtedly!

I'm one.

The only drawback is they have no tools.

I was going buy the pair, use upright at home and the handheld for the caravan.

Waiting for our Vax to die but it's still going strong after 12 years..

Robomowers sound good. But we have a dog. Now the dog/mower could be kept apart fairly easily, I think dog would keep out of its way as she hates the vacuum cleaner. It's more any missed poop that I'd be concerned about

I bought a battery-powered lawnmower years ago. It cost a fair bit more than a petrol one, but it works really well. If I have a lot of mowing to do, sometimes I'll have to recharge it partway through the mowing. It's fairly quiet compared to petrol mowers. It's very easy to turn on: none of this pulling a cord rubbish. I haven't regretted buying it.
