The previous mower, a Wolf was great. Wet or dry grass it all went in the box. I only replaced it as I gave it to my daughter when she got her first house. Solidly built and we’d had it 10 years with only a new blade being required.
The new model looked like a toy. The flimsiest plastic possible that looked like it would shatter of you bumped into anything. Styling was crap too.
Bought the Hayter. It was a toss up between that and a Honda. It’s very well made, easy to use (are they all) and cuts the lawns very well. Just hates damp grass.
Had to buy a Flymo for early and late season use.
