best lawn mower wet grass image

Yes, yes, I know! The best option of all is to wait until it dries. We can't. We would be waiting nine months. ;) Basically, the rainy season has begun in the Pacific Northwest, and there is no way to count on it stopping for any length of time until next July. It will be raining literally every single day. Given that, has anybody found that some mowers do better than others in wet grass?
Answer
I agree with the reel mowers, which are still quite available, as in this line here:

I use a high-vacume, bagging, rotary (standard) mower with at least 5hp to lift the heavy grass. I like the Honda's and have 9 seasons on the last 2 I purchased. This tip is from their website:
"Move slowly across the lawn. To reduce the volume of clippings that might cause the mower to bog down, it may be necessary to raise the cutting height. It also may be necessary to turn the mower over and scrape off the packed-on clippings that accumulate under the mower deck housing."

Does an electric cordless lawn mower work as well as a gas powered one?

I am needing a new lawn mower and with the price of gas, I was wondering if the electric ones are any good. I can't imagine having a cord attached, so I would want a rechargable one.
Answer
In the right circumstances a cordless will work fine. No, they're not as powerful as gas, and if you have a really large area to cut, one charge won't do it. You can buy extra batteries though they're not cheap. I have a 24v cordless and am very happy with it. It's light and easy to push. It's quiet enough that I can cut the lawn without making the neighbours close their windows. I cut about 100' x100' on one charge unless the grass is wet or too long. It cuts over small branches in the lawn with no trouble. I'd be using a lot of extension cord to reach all the areas with a corded one, and I hate the noise of gas ones, futzing around with fuel, and yanking on the cord.
