that's a great hint on the recalled mowers. Much easier to repair a broken cordless mower than to build it up from scrap.

While my yard might benefit from a corded mower, i would prefer the type that is corded and cordless, ie you unplug it when needed but can plug it in for full power when needed as well. My yard is awfully large and I would need about 67 meters of cord to mow it all.
