Cobra MX4140V 41cm 40v Cordless Lawn Mower with Battery & Charger (Hand Propelled) Reviews

I was a bit concerned about the move to a cordless mower as don't have a lawn, I have some scrappy bits of rough grass and lots of grass paths. I was worried it wouldn't be tough or powerful enough for the job, but I needn't have worried. The grass is pretty rough and tough, and it was two months since my old petrol mower died. So a challenging first cut, but the mower did fine (although I helped it out by starting on the max height setting)and took it all in its stride. Later cuts have been easy, and it has coped well with wet grass and the inevitable leaves. The grass collector fills well and is simple to remove, the 'full' indicator isn't very good but you can quickly check how full it is by just lifting up the 'back door'of the mower. I love the single handle for adjusting the cut height. A charge is plenty long enough for my quite large garden (but as I say, it is not all lawn). One gripe is the instructions. They are reasonably well written, but in places they are just wrong! For instance they don't seem to have noticed that there are not four twist knobs to put the handles together, but two knobs and two handles. It also doesn't mention the two tools that are needed for the job. But if you have a modicum of mechanical nous and a reasonable tool kit you should be ok. I have only had it a few weeks, so I can't comment on the longevity or durability of the mower, but so far so good.
