I have used normal honda mowers for years, current one is pushing 12 years old now. Not so sure about the Izy range. I think my next one will be a still 'leccy model. If you have a look around some places where chucking in a charger and battery, or spare battery at the normal retail price.
I did look at electric, I already have a fair number of items in the LXT range
I have a Worx 40v mower which is excellent, I have 2 batteries and 2 chargers, the second is unnecessary as 1 battery will do all of the lawn. The only problem is that when I put the batteries on charge, if I donāt remove them from the charger when fully charged they discharge themselves!
How much running time do you get out of a single charge?
50 minutes on a 7.5AH battery with normal length grass - It take 30 mins to cut my grass

My decision to go electric was based on the fact that I could have a decent set of garden electric tools a few 56v batteries and one charger. So I have a blower, chainsaw hedge trimmer strimmer and a lawmower.
Call yerself a petrolhead?!

Iāve got the smallest Makita 18v mower, think it was around Ā£100 from B&Q, the battery lasts just long enough to cut the grass so itās adequate.
3-years later and since we moved, the lawn size is about 3-times the area so the LXT mower is not really cutting it. Two batteries will cut around 2/3rds of the back garden, and can do the front on a full charge if I have not left it too long. There will eventually be 6 trees to go round now the fruit trees are planted and new grass bedding in.
I pretty much always mulch and the front garden is going to be more of a wildflower meadow style rather than formal lawn.
No I donāt need a ride on but a powered mower with a larger cutting blade would be useful, the Honda HRS 536 looks good, any āsensibleā advice?

We got an American Toro Timemaster, 30" cut walk behind, when we moved to a much bigger plot nearly 8 years ago.
The 190cc Briggs Stratton starts every time, usually first pull.
Itās a bit underpowered if you let it grow a bit too long and mulch.
Bag or side exit itās pretty good.
It does clog up and needs washing under deck.
Some rust there too but stopped that with Tetrosyl stonechipā¦
I messed about with add on roller for stripesš
A couple of years ago they beefed the engine up to 230cc and also improved the transmission.
Transmission on ours gave up after 6 years. I repaired it with a brass bush instead of split nylon one.
I can cut the same area as our neighbour who has a ride on, in half the time.
He has to get a little mower out to do faffy bits.
He has less borders and trees, raised beds etc too!
The Toro does it all in one hit. 2 miles walk tooš
He wanted a big walk behind but family got him a little ride on for a presentā¦
They make smaller ones tooā¦
Need is NOT the point!

I bought this Hyundai as it was universally well reviewed and I sought one out at a good price.
I suppose I could go retro and dice with death
I have recently bought a Hyundai battery powered mower, very pleased with it, the 3 year warranty swung it for me.
Had one of those, many years ago.
It was alright.
