cordless lawn mower

So much for trying the light-weight Gardena cordless reel mower. It doesn't cut evenly.

I tried a second one and it didn't cut any better.

It took 1.5 hours last time and still not a uniform cut.

I replaced it today for the Black & Decker 19" cordless mulching mower with rear bag (on sale at Lowe's and Home Depot $299 ... $549 a month ago). It is heavier but cuts much more evenly and quickly and only took half an hour this time. I'll update this post, if things change.

My cord lawn mower finally bit the dust (after 10 years).

I was wishing it would have happened sooner ... but then I might not have found the Gardena Cordless 12V Accu reel mower ... for $279 at Home Depot.

I always wanted to get a push mower but remembered how it jumps up (the back) when going thru thick grass.

Well, this Gardena is a push mower with a lithium (very light) battery. Some of the other cordless mowers have lead batteries (heavy) that take 24 hours to charge...and are quite hard to push.

I did some research and found that Mark Cullen was fed up with his Earthwise cordless mower and purchased a gas mower (within the last month) from Home Hardware. Perhaps the Gardena is a better product. I then thought cordless may NOT be ready for mainstream lawn care ... but I have always felt Gardena had good products.

Rona has the Accu Reel Mower for $350 but Home Depot had it on sale today for $279.

I couldn't resist.

It is very light and very quiet. I'll update this post, if my enthusiasm wanes.
