Whether you're a first-time lawnmower owner or you're looking for an upgrade, you've probably already decided which type you'd like. There are petrol lawnmowers, electric lawnmowers or even more convenient, the cordless mower. I've tested a few mowers, all of which have been cordless — and there's no denying the practicality of these battery-powered machines. Not only are they great for small to medium-sized gardens, but the Ryobi ONE+ 18V mower is a great buy for smaller gardens with a tiny amount of shed space to offer.
I've been testing this mower for a few weeks. I used it to tidy my grass after a heatwave, which was followed by a much-needed rainstorm. Then, I used it once more to trim after a bunch of rain and a swift growth spurt of my grass. This typical UK weather, although annoying, means that this lawnmower was put through its paces.
