I need a new mower. I don't want petrol and I don't have much storage space. Am I best to go for a hover mower or a wheeled mower?

My garden is an annoying shape ans isn't flat. There is a quite steep slope 2/3rds of the way down. I currently have a rubbish wheeled mower and it is a bit awkward to move around on the slopes but maybe thats because its rubbish. Im not interested in striping my lawn I just want it neet.

Currently looking at the Flymo range, the Bosch mowers for the same price have less power but do they make up for it in usability?

In bored anticipation, thanks.

Bosch for me, mine's at least 6 years old, been regularly abused and still going strong. As it's an electric mower, it very light, so steepness shouldn't be an issue.

I got a Bosch one when B&Q reduced them all to £87. The model I have the handle folds in on itself so takes up next to no room and it weights bugger all too.

I'd go for a cordless hover mower, which I'm not sure exist.

I've got a flymo that we call Patrick, if that helps.
