Unfortunately the cheapest one does stripy lawns
and it's considerably cheaper too!
Make, model and price please.
Not that I'll be bothering - my lawn looks better than ever thanks to the Brill Razorcut (push) mower I mentioned above. It's more being able to mow when you like (rather than worry about noise and neighbours) than the fact it's cheaper to run than the others I think.
And it does great stripes, and I love them. But who would want to be anything other than British anyway :)

On fleaby. although I have bought it through my catalogue as with my commission and years interest free it works out near enough the same for me, not the RRP they say here.

How does it manage with longer grass?
If you could re-charge it using a solar powered trickle charger as well it would be perfect :)

Got no idea but I don't intend to allow the grass to grow that long to find out
I only have small areas of grass.

So you read my mind then?

We have a Qualcast Panther as well and we find it to be great, even on longish grass...

Is your lawn very flat?
My next door neighbour has a Qualcast panther and it's useless on my (quite bumpy) lawn. It almost put me off push mowers until I came across the Brill Razorcut.

My 'lawn' is on a hill , big(11mx25m), crappy piece of mole hill'ed and couch grass'ed and bumpy (ie. pretty bad nick) My qualcast panther does fine on it.
Strange, how we all have such polarised experiences, isn't it? I have never used any other lawn mower, so to me, it is fine and perfectly acceptable - and I don't have stripes

Life would be boring if we were all the same :)

Couldn't do that if I tried, and that's without a tipple

could I be done for being drunk in charge of a push mower then?
