    It would depend on several factors:

    size of lawn
    battery or cable
    quality of grass
    etc, etc.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Battery is much easier, no cable to get in the way. For a small garden Bosch is good. For a bigger lawn and a much bigger budget Stihl is excellent.

    Is your lawn flat or bumpy or sloping cos that also makes a difference.

    For a small and level lawn, a manual mower that you just push works just as well (maybe better) than an electric, and is cheaper.

    Your question is a bit like asking ‘What is the best car’? But, to start you off,

    Bosch Advanced Rotak 750
    Stihl RME 235

    That’s the verdict from Which?

    Oh, @BenCotto, the very makes I mentioned, except that I have a smaller cheaper Bosch and a bigger more expensive Stihl.

    The best lawn mower is the one that is being dragged, pushed and pulled around by somebody else while I sit on a comfy seat in the sunshine with a glass of something cool in my hand.😁
