Today while I was waiting for news on my dogs surgery, I destroyed my motor mower.
Not totally destroyed, but I pulled it apart and it just doesnt go back together, so I am going to get a new one tomorrow; which will be a definite need for a trip to Bunnings.
So I am looking at a Cordless Electric Model, and wonder if any Blitzers have advice or/and recommendations ?
They’d want to have improved since I bought an electric jobbie about 10-15 years ago. OK during summer and winter but couldn’t handle any sort of lushness in the lawns in spring or autumn.
Well, I am already stocking up on supplies and looking for a base in the High Country for the freedom fighters to mass. Catching those wild horses is an issue though.
check out the Victa 82V range, fantastic, i have a lot of lawn so i bought the 21 inch cut with 2 batteries. i have not used a petrol mower since. , virtually maintenance free (only a couple of bolts to change the blades) push button start, no service stations, even has a nice feature of automatically increasing the power if the grass is thick. Best garden tool i have every bought. I have had it a couple of years now so there may be other brands with similar performance now
Never been a fan of them, I still use the 4-stroke lawn mowers. My dad has had 2 in about 45 years, great models. I’ve had my current one for 7 years and been very good.
A neighbour has the Victa, she doesnt like it because as soon as it hits high grass it struggles. She needs to keep her lawn higher than she would like.
Another neighbour has a new mower and already has had to change the battery because it was faulty.
Cordless mowers are too fragile and I dont trust the manufactures as what if they change the battery specs?? You’d need another mower.
I have had the victa 82v 21 inch cut for a number of years now. i have a very big block and i also mow some friends lawn. It has not missed a beat. Original batteries. Has a nice feature of automatically increasing power if it hits high grass The only maintenance would be to eventually change blades and batteries. not close to it yet. I also have the whipper sniper, blower and chain saw. No issue with any of them. I will never by anything petrol again
