l bought it initially as often in the morning l wish l could do a quick 5 minute mow maybe out the front of the house, or a bit of the side , but by the time l have dragged the mower out of the shed, checked the fuel, primed it, started it, my 5 minutes is gone. The idea was to have this tucked under the veranda and have it ready on hand to do a quick little mow of a piece of lawn each day.
As it happens though, it's so fabulous l don't think l will bother with the big old petrol driven one again! l mowed the WHOLE lawn in about a third of the time it takes me to do it normally!!! And l wasn't puffed afterwards !!
l don't need a catcher as it throws the grass around with such gay abandon out the back (yes, you do tend to get a bit more covered in grass!!) that it isn't necessary to drag around a big heavy catcher that you have to keep stopping and emptying!! (Have l converted you yet??)
ALSO..............................it is so light (about 9 kilos), rather than ploughing through a slightly raised lump of lawn leaving an ugly exposed yellowy bit, it simply skips over it so it leaves a more even greener result!!
AND it's quiet!!!!!
Not that poor deaf Treeka could hear the old one.................
So l highly recommend them to anyone who is sick of mowing lawns! l am not going to say the old cliché about "oh it is good exercise" , as you do the same walking as you would with a traditional mower, this one is just quicker, lighter, easier and yep..............more fun!! Brilliant! Just love it!!
You must be on commission !!!
