if it didn't do the job I needed it to, cut a normal suburban corner block.
The Enviromower is a cordless electric mower. http://www.enviromower.com/
I found one on ebay which I 'won', it cost the princely sum of $78 but it was in Ocean Grove, the other side of Melb from Moe, where I live. I convinced the family that we should make a weekend of it and go to the beach at Ocean Grove and pick up the mower while we were there

When I picked it up all was good, the battery was down a bit but a good charge shoul fix that.
When I got home I charged it overnight through the on board charger and the next morning I was set to mow the grass. Unfortunantly it didn't go

caused by me leaving the circuit breaker in while I was coming back from OG and while charging it.
After much cursing I went to my local Victa agent (Victa are Enviromower agents) and ordered another battery for $93 and slotted it in and fired it up

I have had the mower for over 12 months now and I haven't had to wrestle with the old Rover petrol mower
The E-mower is so quite I can mower the grass after the kids have gone to bed.
It has enough battery life to mow the whole block in one charge although I usually do it in 2 stages with a charge in between, I don't have time to do it in one go.
The only complaint with the E-mower is that the blades don't go to the outside of the wheels as other mowers do but they are about 2-3 inches inside the wheel line, I'll get used to it but I do still miss bits because I usually use the outside of the wheels to line up my mowing strip, it can also make it tricky to mow along the kerb and channel along the nature strips. As it only has a 500 watt motor it can struggle with long thick grass but the height adjustments can cure this. I tend to mower the grass more often than when I had a petrol mower but as it is quite and I dont have to mess around with petrol or try to start a petrol mower
it doesn't seem to take any longer.
I am very pleased with the mower and wish more people would have them even if its just for the quiteness.
Now I just need to find a cordless wiper sniper

Does anyone else have a cordless elec mower
