Electric lawnmower - pls read fully (Bedford)

This Bosch lawnmower has given us many years of great grass cutting but it recently had an issue. I’ve made a repair which seems to have solved the problem, but want to be honest about its condition. I’ve also fitted a new drive belt a few months ago.

Please only respond if you are happy knowing the following. I have repaired the lawnmower with 2 sets of duct tape holding the carbon brushes in place, see photo. When the motor has mains electric feeding it, the brushes allow the electricity to make the motor spin, and thus the blade to cut the grass. There should be 2 tiny pieces of plastic holding the brushes in place, each about 1x2mm. These have broken off, hence the tape to hold them in place. The mower does work fine like this. I was outvoted by other members of my family and a new one was ordered, otherwise I would have kept this one for many more years.

It has a 40cm wide blade and a long lead so is great for larger lawns. The handle folds over the body to make it smaller to store, as in the photo.

Please include in your message that your happy with the repair as described, why you’d like it and when you could pick it up.
