    Hi,

    I have a small garden, 130 sq m. and looking for cordless electric lawnmower.

    Any recommendations please?

    Budget = €300.

    Thanks

    Probably have missed the Lidl/Aldi ones at this stage but they are fine if you can get one, bought one for my daughter few years back and still working fine.

    My own one is a Bosch Rotak which I have about 10 yrs at least if not longer, don't think that model is still there but Argos have a Bosch model for €297 so just within budget.

    I have had no problem with either mower but having said that I personally prefer the Bosch but that's just because there is a shorter body on the model I have which better suits my round lawn rather than going in mainly straight lines which the Aldi one does very well for half the price having a much longer body.

    Neither works great if you let the grass get too long or cut it wet.

    If you are near a B&Q they seem to have similar Bosch one for €254, I got mine originally in B&Q in after summer clearance for half nothing!

    Yes, I am next to B&Q but they don't have any good in this price range at the moment.

    Paid about 120 for a Makita one a few years ago. Going strong despite being less than ideally treated.

    It was on special at the time so not sure what the going rate is for one now.

    Makita DLM431Z

    Do you have any batteries from cordless tools already? Makes sense to stick to one brand of so.

    I will have a look.

    I just have black decker tool. Not so much into DIY

    Try Worx, you can swap the battery between all devices and look decent quality
