16" or 17" Battery Powered Seems Perfect But Worry About Height of Cut Grass
I no longer have grass in my backyard as we put an extensive inground pool with patio and eating area. The only grass I have left is a 30 feet x 20 feet front lawn. I was considering two options, one being a manual Reel Mower like the Fiskars 18" Max Reel Mower and a battery powered 16" or 17" mower.
I'm really liking what I see in some of these battery powered devices and could use the battery for other things like trimmers. My concern with all of the battery operated lawn mowers is the max cut height is usually around 2 3/4 inches.
I guess my question is two fold. First, how tall should I be leaving the grass in the heat of July/August. I live just outside Toronto and it can get extremely hot and dry for days on end. I would like to leave the grass a little longer during these two months but not sure how long I should be leaving it. Secondly, are there any battery operated mowers that have a higher maximum height cut setting but still a small framed mower i.e.: 16" or 17". I'm not looking for a larger mower because quite frankly, I have a very small lawn and would like to save some space in the garage.
Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
