I'm tired of carrying that heavy gas-powered trimmer around. My yard isn't huge, just about 200m², but I need something that cuts well and isn't a nightmare to store. Do you guys recommend any model that lasts a long time on a single charge?
Battery-powered mowers have really improved so much these last few years and for a 200m² yard you're in a perfect situation 🌱 I'd recommend checking out brands like Tramontina, Makita or Bosch that have good models with 2Ah batteries or higher - most of them easily last long enough for a lawn that size without needing to swap the battery mid-cut. The cool thing is it takes up way less space in the garage, it's quieter and you don't kill yourself lugging that gas-powered beast around every weekend 😅 If you can spend a bit more, models with bigger batteries like 4Ah or with two batteries last like two or three weeks before needing a charge again, depending on how fast your grass grows.
For a yard this size you're lucky because a single battery lasts easily enough, and you don't even need two. What a lot of people don't mention is buying the mower with two batteries (some brands sell it that way) and putting one to charge while you use the other - the Makita 18V and Bosch 36V are excellent for that, and both cut cleanly even in grass that's a bit taller. Oh, and store it in a dry spot (garage, shed) because humidity kills the battery faster than you'd think; that makes a real difference in durability, much more than the model itself does.
