One of our customers left the following 5* review:
"Very easy to manoeuvre lawnmower with a decent battery charge lasting nearly 40 minutes. Leaves a good finish on the lawn and the grass box holds quite a bit. Fairly quiet too and certainly seems light years ahead of our previous petrol lawnmower. I would suggest checking how long your lawn takes to mow and maybe investing in a spare battery if you have a larger lawn. Otherwise, as always, don't let your grass grow too long so you can mow your lawn on one charge. In summary, a great mower and highly recommended"

Here's why it's important to buy the right mower
Spend less time cutting
In the peak growing months, it’s likely you’ll need to cut your grass at least once per week to maintain a healthy lawn. With such a regular task, being able to cut your lawn in a reasonable time will save you hours over the course of a year.
Enjoy your lawn
Wave goodbye to frustrations with inadequate equipment. With a mower that's up to the task, you can get back to enjoying your lawn care routine instead of it being a chore.
Forget mains electric - choose petrol or cordless
Petrol engine mowers ensure you can refuel and continue mowing for as long as needed, but consider a cordless mower with interchangeable batteries that can be easily swapped in just a few seconds.
Quality and warranty ensures a good investment
This goes with any garden machinery purchase, but it's important to consider what support and spare parts are available for the brand and model you choose. All the brands we sell offer a high quality range of mowers with generous warranties, and we'll be on hand to provide spares and repairs down the line if needed.
