I am looking to buy a cordless mower for two small lawns. What would you recommend?
| ♥ 0 | I have a front lawn c 10 x 10 m2 and back c 6 x 10 m2. Both slope at about 10 degrees and are surrounded by borders and paved paths. The front lawn is slightly bumpy/uneven. I like having a roller, not just for the stripes but the extra stability when mowing next to borders. The first cut of the season is never exceptionally long and I then cut every week/10 days unless drought conditions prevail. Cutting time with my existing corded Bosch 37cm is c 20 minutes.

| Private answer Hi Chris Given your specific garden layout—particularly the slopes, the bumpy front lawn, and your current use of a 37cm mower—the Worx WG743E.1 remains the premium choice, but the Worx WG779E.2 is a fantastic alternative if you are looking for something more budget-friendly and lightweight. Here is how they compare for your 160 m² garden: Top Recommendation: Worx WG743E.1 (The "Upgrade" Choice) Since you are currently using a 37cm Bosch, the WG743E.1 is the natural step up. Efficiency: With a 40cm cutting width, you will likely finish your 20-minute mow even faster than you do now. Mulching Included: Since you mow every 7–10 days, you are the perfect candidate for mulching. This model includes the mulching plug, allowing you to skip the "empty the bag" step entirely. Power for Bumps: The dual 4.0Ah batteries provide more sustained "grunt" than the 2.0Ah version, which helps when navigating the bumpy sections of your front lawn. Storage: It offers vertical storage, which is a huge space-saver in the shed compared to standard mowers. The Alternative: Worx WG779E.2 (The "Budget & Lightweight" Choice) Manoeuvrability on Slopes: At only 13kg (compared to the 20kg of the WG743E.1), this mower is incredibly easy to push up and down inclines. Suspension Roller: A unique feature of this budget model is that the rear roller has suspension, which helps it contour to the "lumps and bumps" you mentioned in your front lawn. Cut-to-Edge: It features a specific "cut to edge" design that helps pull grass into the blades—perfect for your borders and paved paths. Value: It is significantly cheaper (often under £200) while still using the same 40V (2x20V) PowerShare system. Comparison Summary for Your Garden Final Verdict for You: Choose the WG743E.1 if you want to save time (wider cut) and want the convenience of mulching to improve your lawn health. Choose the WG779E.2 if you want to save money and prefer a lighter machine that is easier to handle on your 10-degree slopes. Both will easily handle your 160 m² total area on a single charge! https://easylawnmowing.co.uk/worx-wg743e-1-review/ https://easylawnmowing.co.uk/worx-wg779e-2-cordless-lawn-mower/ Thanks Marked as spam  Answered on March 1, 2026 1:26 pm |
