Hello everyone,
I am currently looking for a suitable lawn mower for our new garden.
I have already decided fairly quickly that I want to buy a battery-powered lawn mower.
Now I would like to hear about your experiences, both good and bad!
I have a preference for Bosch, but their standard battery mowers don’t have a drive wheel; for that, you would need to go for the Professional line, which is quite expensive. What I find even less appealing is that such a mower weighs almost 50 kg (110 lbs)! The simpler model weighs less than 15 kg (33 lbs)…!
Our garden isn’t particularly steep, but last year, when I mowed with a petrol mower, it was still comfortable to have a self-propelled drive! By the way, the lawn area is about 700 m² (7,535 sq ft).
Thanks in advance!
Best regards

You have to mow regularly with a battery-powered mower anyway. It simply doesn’t have the power of a petrol mower, and it also drains the battery. One shouldn’t have any false expectations. That’s why in my first post I said I wouldn’t even consider it for this size of an area.

To be honest, my main reason for preferring a battery-powered mower isn’t really environmental—it’s just that gas mowers are (too) loud...
[...] Besides, you also have to refuel a gas mower! Okay, yes, it’s loud... You can always use headphones if necessary. And refueling takes no more than 30 seconds.
But in the end, you have to decide for yourself. Please share your experiences once you’ve tried it.

bierkuh8327 Mar 2018 01:09Hello, take a look at the MA443 on Viking’s homepage. It’s also Profilevel. I have it with a cable for a 700m2 (7,535 sq ft) area and I’m very satisfied. It takes me about an hour to mow the area, not including edge trimming. With the large battery, they claim a range of 400m2 (4,306 sq ft), which sounds realistic. I think Bosch is very optimistic with their stated 600m2 (6,458 sq ft). Probably only for “touch-ups” and at a jogging pace...
The noise level is fantastic (low), you can even hear the wife calling from the terrace.

Mastermind127 Mar 2018 07:10The Gardena R40Li robotic lawn mower for 400m² (4300 sq ft) is currently being phased out and can often be found for around €580 on Amazon.
If you take this offer to Hornbach, you can get an additional 10% discount locally, including a 5-year warranty.
This means for the price of one very good battery-powered mower, you can actually get two robotic mowers.
€580 minus 10% = approximately €530 each.
Two mowers would be just under €1060.
2 × 400m² (4300 sq ft) = 800m² (8600 sq ft). That should be sufficient.
