I cut in general with a reel mower. For longer grass or wet conditions this is not possible. My requirements were therefore in particular in the power of the mower. Battery mower retired from there. The Gardena has enough power to high and wet grass to cut. He is small and agile to get to the most remote corner of the garden and can be folded quite small. The viewing window on grass catcher you can save because it filthy after a few minutes. It also does not bother. The knife could be better, but, the first season unscathed.
