Hello,
I hope someone here has the time and expertise to give me some advice on which mower to buy.

About the lawn:
70 square meters
Laid on Saturday (6th Oct)

Mower requirements:
Cordless
Mulching
Cut close to boarders (sleepers surround almost entire lawn)
No roller (I have a separate roller)
Light weight
Cut height 25mm - 35mm

I have become over whelmed with options, so just a simple 'if I were you, I'd buy....' would be fab!
I really should have sorted this out before laying the lawn....!

Thanks,
Hannah

I can't really help. I only use large gasoline-power equipment but wow, that's a really short cutting height! Are you sure about that? That's not even 1.5 inches.

It depends on the grass type but I'm assuming you have cool season grasses there which are typically cut in the 3 to 4 inch range.

I don’t know if you have Echo equipment on your side of the pond, but we have been selling a then here for the last four months. Seem to be a good unit so far. Might check out this site.
