Hello, I have an electric mower but it's not very good: it gets
clogged up with wet grass and long grass will stall the motor. I
keep thinking I should treat myself to a petrol one but a honda
is £400 and I think is it worth it for the few weekends it will
get used each year.

Every now and then I look on web sites to see the prices and when
I was looking today, I saw that there are many rechargeable
mowers now. Thinking about the recent thread about electric cars,
it seems mowers are heading that way too. It might be my last
chance to buy a petrol one!

I wonder how long the batteries last before they need replacing
and how powerful these battery powered mowers are?

You don't need to buy a Honda mower for £400. You can get a perfectly
adequate Mountfield mower for far less than half of that - look out for
offers at Screwfix etc. Just make sure it's got a Briggs and Stratton
engine - they last for ever even if you neglect them mercilessly.

If you're not too fussy, you can pick up a reasonable petrol mower at a
car boot sale, or even at a tip shop - my local tip sells them. I paid
£40 for a Mountfield mower with a B&S engine at a car boot sale about 10
years ago, and it's still going strong.
