Standard cheapo electric mower from Argus. Standard three core cable, but the photo only seems to show one.
The lawn is scruffy, as Glenelg pointed out, but as long as it's reasonably neat & tidy I'm not fussed. Much of the yellow stuff on the lawn that looks like dead grass is varieties of bird seed which I put out daily. Don't have any exotic avian wildlife, just starlings (hordes of them), sparrows, Mr & Mrs Blackbird (who are residents), wood pigeons, collared doves, a lone magpie, robins, and the occasional bluetit. Love watching them feed, particularly when they have their young with them.
Costs me quite a bit to feed them - maybe £10 a week - but it gives me so much pleasure, and makes me feel like I'm doing a good thing.
@Tikay10 my other half feeds all the birdlife at ours, amongst the usual we have a flock of goldfinches (about 50 strong, beautiful little birds) and a very canny rook that sits under one of the bird feeders waiting for the smaller birds to drop stuff. The other half is a little miffed as ALL of the ducks seem to have disappeared at the moment (we had up to 20 throughout most of the year) and we just have a lone moorhen on the pond at the moment.
Sadly, every now and again one of the cats brings in a feathered offering, the worst being a fledgling kingfisher some years ago, most upsetting. I'm not a cat fan to be honest, no idea why we have five!
