Hi Mark, thanks so much for your detailed response. My only concern with the cordless, is that if I forget to charge the battery, the mower will stop half way through cutting. I've had similar problems with my Dyson hoover cordless, sometimes it just cuts out. The corded seems to retain its power much more/no hassle to recharge the batteries. But agreed the risk of cutting the cord is always there (I did do that once or twice with my last corded mower). The only alternative was Petrol, but the maintenance there seems tough, especially if going 6 weeks at a time without a cut during the winter months.

I completely understand your concern — running out of charge halfway through can be frustrating, especially if you’re used to the consistency of a corded mower. A couple of points that might help:Spare batteries: Many cordless mowers (including LawnMaster and WORX) come with two batteries, or you can buy an extra one. That way, you can keep one charging while you mow with the other.Battery life vs. garden size: If your garden takes around 30–40 minutes to mow, a mower with a 4.0Ah+ battery should comfortably get you through in one go.In short: if you’d prefer no charging worries at all, a corded mower is still perfectly fine. But if you’d like something lighter and easier to move around, a cordless with a spare battery could give you the best of both worlds.
