I have realised I have never owned a hover mower. There is no reason behind this and when I was asked if I wanted to trial this cordless hover mower from Cobra it felt like it was time that I gave one a go. I have to be transparent and say that I have not been paid to write this review, I have not paid for the mower and my words and opinions remain my own. No one has approved or edited this article.
Handsome beast isn't it? You can see I did what I always do and got so excited I had a go with it before taking a photo of it looking pristine and clean. I would say I was sorry but I am not.
Such was my lack of experience with hover mowers that I did not understand at first why it had wheels (surely it hovers?). As with most things with wheels, it has them to make it easier to move around especially when not mowing (it only hovers when switched on!). You can move the wheels out of the way when mowing or take them off but having the wheels down helps if you have a bit of a bumpy lawn (which I do). I soon decided wheels down was the best method for my garden.

and then it was time to get mowing! This mower works a treat, as said above I had to understand how the mower worked before really getting to grips with it but once I had that in my mind it was a dream. I have not had a mower without a grass collection box previously so this was rather a novelty. As if by magic the grass clippings just drop down into the lawn. It made the job a lot faster.
I particularly liked how the edges of the mower scoot under the overflowing plants so I could edge the lawn without losing too many flowers. In a blousy garden like mine this really matters. I could also steer it around the tricky bits in my garden where I have to mow carefully. Mine is not a garden where I just walk up and down the mow the lawn. It would obviously handle mowing up and down without any difficulties.
