Electrics are always better: My cordless is plenty powerful enough, and after owning it for going on 15 years now, I've only replaced the battery once. It's a good point about the inherent waste of charging systems, though... I should look into putting it on a phantom-checker. Manual is great, too. And yeah, if we could replace our lawns with something that didn't need mowing (or watering, or chemical treatments), the better off we'd be.

whatever you replace the lawn with, remember to keep the water-draining aspect ... too many 'gardens' in the UK have been paved and leaves the rain with fewer options of where to drain ....
