"Battery powered lawnmowers are good for large lawns but it depends on the terrain you are dealing with - if you have a flat lawn they can tackle this with ease and are light weight however if your lawn has lots of hills and dips they struggle as they don’t quite have the same power behind them."

"Yes there perfect for small domestic jobs and even large commercial jobs if your spend enough. Look at Honda Izy battery powered 1. Iv not used it myself but if it’s got Honda on it you can’t go wrong. Another good brand would be Stihl
