Got some money yesterday and had a thought that our cheapo old mower could do with replacing. It’s a crap cut and the wheels sometimes fall off! Are hover mowers still a thing? Needs a hopper to collect the cuttings but open to suggestions…any deals around or makes/models to go for/avoid?

Bosch Rotax 34, provided your garden isn’t too big

I inherited a crappy 30cm flymo. It's got a collection box, and much to my amazement it does a really good cut. For a small lawn it's great

I dunno how much new but they show up on Gumtree all the time

Bosch Rotak, mine cuts nicely, metal blade and collector. Just won't die, I want to upgrade to cordless but it keeps on going.

I tried a hover mower. Cut ok but when you’re not actually mowing and you want to move it around they are a dead weight and awkward to manoeuvre. Always use a petrol one now.
