    I have a Honda petrol mower with a roller for striping.
    I'm looking at changing my power tools to cordless and was looking at Makita, DeWalt or maybe something budget like the Aldi/Lidl offerings as it's only for DIY these days. I'm thinking about having a cordless mower too which would need to be the same battery format ideally.
    I got used to having a striped garden over the years and it seems having a roller on the mower is not that common now.
    Makita don't do any cordless mower with a roller apparently, DeWalt only seem to do one and not sure about the other brands.
    I have two smallish lawns so no need for a big mower. Plan B would be an "old fashioned" manual roller but I dont really have room for another thing like that in the shed really.
    Any thoughts or experiences?
    Thanks

    I've noticed the Bosch Cordless Lawnmower EasyRotak 36-550 has a rear roller. I have the Bosch battery system Power4All for a strimmer, hedge-cutter, drill and a few other tools. Not sure if that is the same as this model but worth thinking about.

    Lawn master do them with rollers but no experience with them. Greenworks also get good reviews but can't see a model with rollers

    Don't think so. Advert refers to the "rear wheels".

      It looks to have a lightweight plastic roller so probably a bit useless. It depends if you buy it with batteries it comes with a roller, without batteries no roller, an odd way to market it.
