Battery mowers are a more environmentally friendly option compared to petrol mowers, as they produce no air pollution and are quieter to use. However, there are some downsides to battery mowers, such as the environmental impact of lithium batteries and the reliance on fossil fuel power plants for recharging. This document provides a table comparing various lawn mowers based on their price, CHOICE Expert Rating, and features, including both battery-powered and petrol-powered models. The summary highlights three top-performing mowers: the Bosch CityMower 18 as the best budget battery mower, the Honda HRN216VKU as the best petrol mower, and the Victa Classic Cut Anniversary Edition as the best budget petrol mower. The summary also mentions that the Bushranger 46TB45 is a comparable option to the Victa Classic Cut but does not offer mulching. [Extracted from the article]
