Thanks for the replies everyone. The Einhell looked to be the best bet for me so the mower has been bought and tried and found to be a good addition to the stable. With new and freshly-charged 4Ah batteries, it will mow the flattish lawn or the slightly smaller awkward sloping lawn with 2 batteries adequately. With 4 batteries on board it turns into a beast and feels as if it will cope easily with a fortnight's lush summer growth. The mower went together easily and feels well made with a steel deck and a handy scraper to remove clag. The grass bag is fabric with a lightweight strip of material on top that purports to be a 'level indicator'. It's not, it's a 'bag full' indicator. The best bit is that the turbine-like noise is acceptable to my changed hearing. We'll see how the mower and batteries fare next year. I registered my purchase online to get extra warranty, so 3 years for the mower; 2 years for the batteries after registration.
