elderly but quite fit stepparent's cheap 3 year old battery powered lawnmower has died and he's looking for a suggestion for something that'll 'see him out'. It's a big lawn (70x25m?), with some quite wet bits and some quite slopey bits and it's a steep gravel path to get to and from the shed.
I was thinking a wide (50cm+) self propelled petrol with key start, no roller, that could mulch *or* collect the grass.
Any suggestions for manufacturers to be looking at or definitely be avoiding?
