Cordless Electric Lawn Mowers

[ckissick]

I will soon have a small, flat lawn, about 500 SF. Who has a cordless mower they can tell me about?

Mine works great. Got it for $10 at a garage sale. 20 minutes and I'm done. I have to sharpen the blades now and again, but it's simple.

I have a Neuton CE5. Supposed to be the best. I got it to mow the area around my office building because I didn't have anywhere to store a gasoline mower. It is barely adequate because the ground is rough and the handles aren't strong enough to stand up to any twisting. The battery lasts plenty long enough to mow 500 sq ft. if you mow it every week. It would work great for regularly mowing the lawn you describe.
I'm selling the Neuton because I almost always let the grass get too long and have to bring in my gas mower, plus the rough terrain is hard on the handles.

500 sq ft is no problem for a battery mower.

I use my neighbor's battery mower, it appears to be out of production, pretty old and beat, and yet does the job easily. I'd say just read the reviews on Amazon and pick one. Keep the blade sharp.

The manual reel (push) mowers work well if your lawn is smooth and you mow regularly. They make a nice snick-snick sound.

Have you considered a robo-mower? I'd sure be tempted if I didn't also have the sidewalk strip to deal with. If it does half as good a job as the iRobot robo-vacuum we have, it'd be great.
