My Top 4 Cordless Mowers


 

1. Best for Smaller Lawns: LawnMaster CLMF2434G Cordless Lawnmower

LawnMaster Cordless Lawn Mower Review

Those with smaller lawns might prefer the compact and efficient LawnMaster CLMF2434G, which has a 34 cm cutting deck ideal for manoeuvring in tight spaces.

I tested this mower on my brother-in-laws lawn, as he wanted a small compact cordless mower at a budget price. He has been using the mower for over 18 months and does not have a bad word to say about it. It does exactly as it says on the tin, and does not cost the Earth. I have to say that LawnMaster mowers are great value for money, build quality is good and they always provide accessories, like mulching plugs, that are extras (or not available) with other brands.

2. Best for Medium-sized Lawns: Greenworks G40LM41K2X Cordless Lawnmower

Greenworks G40LM41K2x Power System

For medium-sized lawns, the Greenworks G40LM41K2X offers a balance of power and manoeuvrability with its 41 cm cutting width.

I have always wanted to test a Greenworks lawnmower, so I chose the 41cm model that comes with 2 x 40v 2.0Ah batteries to test on my 450m² lawn. I manged to get around 15 minutes from each battery which was enough to cut my entire lawn (this will be reduce with a longer lawn). It is a shame that this mower only came with one charger and not a dual charger like some other models, however I was able to charge the batteries relatively quickly thanks to the supplied fast charger (30min per 2.0Ah battery).

But that aside, the performance and build quality are very impressive. You will also notice that there are no lawn stripes on my lawn as there is no rear roller on this mower. I love the fact that there are so many other 40v Greenworks tools to share the batteries with including grass trimmers, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers etc. Check out my full video review to see the Greenworks G40LM41K2X mower in action.

3. Best for Large-sized Lawns: Hyundai 18″/45cm Cordless 80v Cordless Lawnmower

Hyundai HYM80LI460SP Petrol Alternative

For larger lawns, the Hyundai 18″/45cm Cordless 80v lawn mower provides extended run time and a wider cutting area to cover more ground efficiently.

This Hyundai self-propelled propelled mower was a pleasure to try out on my rear and front lawns. Once I had charged and inserted the 2x 2.5Ah 80v lithium-ion batteries, I was good to go. I was not disappointed, as the 80 volts of power not only provided a fantastic cut quality, but also made the mower a breeze to push thanks to the self-propelled drive. People with larger lawns tend to require a variety of cutting options and you won’t be disappointed as this Hyundai comes with 4, mulching, cut & collect, side and rear discharge options. You can see from my video that all the cutting and collection option worked as expected. The robust steel deck gives this mower a durable build quality, reminiscent of a traditional petrol mower, ensuring it feels sturdy and long-lasting.

Like the Greenworks, this mower was supplied with a single charger for the two batteries which is a shame as I was only be able to charge one battery at a time. Bear in mind that this mower is quite hefty, weighing in at approximately 28kg. This isn’t an issue during mowing, thanks to its self-propelling feature. However, should you need to lift the mower for any reason, its weight could pose a challenge. Thankfully I could simply wheel this hulk of a mower into my shed.

4. Best Self Propelled – Rear Roller: Cobra RM43SP80V Cordless Lawnmower

Cobra RM43SP80V Review

For those that like the convenience of a self-propelled cordless mower, the Cobra RM43SP80V Cordless Rear Roller Lawnmower offers an excellent build and cut quality at an affordable price.

Well, what can I say about this mower. This is my favourite cordless mower of all the models I have tested. The steel deck and self-propelled drive make this mower feel like you are using a petrol mower, naturally without the fumes and noise. It is a heavy mower at nearly 30kg, but being self-propelled and easy to manoeuvrer, it does not matter. Besides, the weight of the mower makes it stripe the lawn beautifully with stripes that last.

Yes, this Cobra comes at a price, but I can honestly say “it’s worth it” and you won’t be disappointed with your purchase.

This is the mower I now use on my own 500 metre square lawn and it has never let me down and gives a great clean cut. This mower makes mowing the lawn a pleasure not only to use, but also to see the fantastic results when done. If this mower is in your budget, and you have a larger lawn, then go for it! If you do have a smaller lawn, then there are other smaller Cobra models available, see the full review for a comparison table showing and comparing the other Cobra cordless models.

I have used Cobra lawn mowers in the past and have always been very impressed with their build quality and performance. So, you can imagine my delight at being able to try out the new Cobra MX4340V cordless lawn mower.

This model is ideal for medium sized lawns with its 43 cm cutting deck and boasts a 5.0Ah, 40 v battery that gives you a very generous run time. Not to mention the smart power technology which ramps the power up when you’re tackling longer or more challenging lawn.

I found the Cobra MX4340V super comfortable to use and really easy to manoeuvre. While there are some more advanced features missing, this certainly isn’t enough to warrant looking elsewhere for a good cordless lawn mower.

I’ve put together a YouTube video to show you exactly how well this cordless mower performs and in this Cobra MX4340V cordless lawn mower review, I’ll go into greater detail on the features to help you decide whether this is the right model for you and your lawn.

  • 5 cutting heights
  • 50 litre grass box
  • 40 v 5.0Ah lithium ion battery
  • 3 handle height positions
  • Polymer deck
  • Dual folding handles

Conclusion

Overall I was really impressed with the Cobra MX4340V and absolutely blown away at how well it cut my lawn, especially with that automatically adjustable power. This is brilliant if you want to get the most out of an already generous battery life.

While there are some basic features missing, such as a rear roller and mulching plug, this really doesn’t make too much of a difference when you think about how effortlessly the Cobra MX4340V cuts the lawn.

Plus, it’s so easy and comfortable to use that I really think this could change the game when it comes to user friendly cordless lawn mowers.

As I mentioned earlier, the Cobra MX4340V is easily one of my top picks for medium lawns and something that I would have no problems recommending.

The batteries in this 40v range can be power shared with other tools such as hedge trimmers, grass trimmers and leaf blowers etc.

It’s robust and designed for a range of mowing situations so is perfect if you’re after something versatile and easy to operate and maintain.

It’s got everything you’d expect from a high end machine and a performance to match.

For regular domestic lawn maintenance or sports turf care, you need a lawn mower that’s powerful, precise and packed with features that’ll ensure consistency and a great cut. While the Cobra Fortis 17E is certainly an investment, it’s an excellent, high end lawn mower that makes lawn care almost effortless.

There are four different sizes of the Cobra Fortis which include deck sizes of 14 inches, 17 inches, 20 inches and 25 inches. For the purposes of this review, I’ll be testing the 17 inch model on my back lawn which covers around 500m².

With a self-propelled drive, interchangeable cartridges, a metal roller and incredibly powerful batteries, the Cobra Fortis 17E is ideal for ongoing lawn care where your aim is to achieve a bowling green, flat lawn.

I have a full Cobra Fortis 17E video review over on my YouTube channel where you can see how to assemble this model, how it performs and more. In this review, I’ll be covering the finer details and helping you decide whether this is the right model for you and your lawn.

 

Main Features

  • 43 cm cutting deck
  • 17 inch blade
  • 65 litre solid grass box
  • 6 mm to 13 mm cutting heights
  • 2 x 56 v 5.0Ah EGO batteries
  • Interchangeable cartridge system
  • Steel front roller
  • Split rear roller
  • Foldable, ergonomic handles
  • Powershare batteries
  • 95 cuts per metre

Conclusion

The Cobra Fortis 17E is, without a doubt, a serious investment for people that are serious about lawn care. But if you’re looking for convenience, quality and a cutting performance that’s worth getting excited about then it’s a model I’d highly recommend.

For short, fine turf settings, the Cobra Fortis 17E excels above rotary lawn mowers and comes with many features that make lawn care far easier than it has any right to be.

I love the interchangeable cartridge system which eliminates the need for several different tools in your shed, saving you space, money and time in the long run.

While there are a few minor drawbacks such as the weight and high price, these certainly wouldn’t be enough to deter me from using the Cobra Fortis 17E if I needed a system that allowed a precise, short cut and various lawn care options.

Pros
  • Excellent cutting performance
  • Full lawn care system in one machine
  • Made from high quality materials (excellent durability)
  • User friendly
  • Great for regular lawn maintenance
  • Powerful battery system
Cons
  • High price point
  • Heavy
  • Standard single charger takes a long time to charge both batteries

The Gtech CLM50 has some great features. With a 42cm cutting deck, this is the ideal tool for medium to large gardens. Anything up to around 400m² and you’re good to go. Moreover, the 48v lithium ion battery rapid charges in just one hour and gives you up to 40 minutes run time; that’s not to be sniffed at.

If you’re in the market for a practical cordless lawnmower, the Gtech CLM50 is a great choice since it is incredibly lightweight and easy to handle. It folds flat for storage meaning it’ll take up far less space in the shed and comes with a very generous six cutting height options.

Gtech is a company that has made a very solid name for itself in recent years. Whether you’re into their vacuum cleaner range or their excellent selection of outdoor tools, this is a mower you need to check out. In this detailed Gtech lawnmower CLM50 review, I’ll be giving you a rundown of its most essential features.

Main Features

  • Covers areas reaching 400 m² (4,000 FT²) in size
  • 48V 2Ah Li-on battery lawn mower
  • Blade length: 42 cm
  • Carbon steel blade
  • Cut to edge
  • Number of Cutting Height: 6 (30mm-80mm)
  • Grass Box Capacity: 50 L
  • Fast battery charge
  • Charge time: 60 min
  • Free run time: 40 minutes

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with gardens up to 400m² in size.
  • Those that do NOT require a striped lawn.
  • People that like a large grass box for less emptying.
  • Likes a quick charge option (60 minutes).
  • Storage is limited as handles and grass box fold flat.
  • People who would like a 30 Day Trial period.

Conclusion

The Gtech CLM50 is a nifty little lawnmower that certainly packs a punch. It doesn’t have quite as many features as some other mowers and it does come at a higher price. But what you get for this are convenience and quality. You can feel that this is a well-made piece of equipment and everything about it is just easy.

There’s no complex operations or messing around; simply charge the battery in an hour and get on with the job at hand. As a new and improved model, you might have expected a little more than just  a colour change and slightly different dimensions, but I really don’t think it matters. When you’re using a mower as good as this one, everything else fades into insignificance.

 

Pros
  • Lightweight and easy to use
  • Ideal for larger lawns up to 400m²
  • Good range of 6 cutting Heights (30mm to 80mm)
  • Large 50 L grass box capacity
  • Charges quickly in one hour

  • 30 day trial
  • Folding handles for more compact storage
Cons
  • No rear roller for striped lawn appearance

I’ve tested a lot of lawn mowers over the years and one I was really keen to try out was the WORX WG779E.2 which has been a UK best seller for a while now. However, I always believe it’s important to see for yourself what all the hype is about and I’ll tell you that, for a budget mower, it didn’t disappoint.

In my YouTube review of the WORX WG779E.2, you’ll see how quickly I was able to unbox and assemble this mower. Once I had it put together, which merely consisted of screwing the handle together (tool-free, might I add) and slotting in the batteries. Of course, they did need to be charged first.

I really wanted to put the WORX WG779E.2 to the test so I ran it over my lawn which is roughly around 350m² as well as testing it on some longer grass in the local park. Again you can see the results in my video review. I blasted through the work on a single charge without any problems.

WORX had a previous 40 v cordless mower and the WORX WG779E.2 is an upgrade on this and comes with some impressive features like two 20 v batteries and six cutting heights.

Main Features

  • Covers areas reaching 350 m² in size
  • 40V (2X20V), 2Ah Li-on battery lawnmower
  • Blade length: 34cm
  • Number of Cutting Height: 6 (20mm-70mm)
  • Grass box capacity: 30 L
  • Charge time: 120 minutes
  • Free run time: 35 minutes

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with gardens about 350-400m² in size.
  • Those who like a nice stripey lawn.
  • People who want a smaller deck size to accommodate smaller strips of lawn.
  • People who require a wide range of cutting heights (6 settings from 20mm to 70mm).
  • Storage is limited.
  • Do not want to spend over £250 on a mower.

Conclusion

With this mower you’re getting features normally found in high priced mowers. Taking the decision to split the batteries into 2 x 20v was a great idea, especially if you use other WORX cordless tools as they are interchangeable.

At this price range (less than £200) this really gives great value for money and you would be very hard pressed to find a cordless mower that performs this well, and has such a good build quality for this price.

Overall I think this is a fantastic mower and I encourage everyone with a garden under 350 m² or less to purchase one. In fact I think it’s the best mower at this level you can purchase right now!

 

Pros
  • 6 Cutting Heights (20mm to 70mm)
  • Very Good Build Quality
  • 30-Litre Grass Box
  • Rear Roller for a Striped Lawn Appearance
  • 2 Batteries - Interchangeable with Other WORX Tools
Cons
  • No Mulching Ability

I know that a lot of people are keen to move away from petrol mowers now that the dangers of the emissions are well known. However, petrol mowers are renowned for their power and moving over to cordless comes with the worry that you might not be getting the same performance.

But British manufacturer Warrior has brought out a cordless lawn mower that easily rivals the power and performance of petrol. The Warrior Eco Power Equipment 60v Performance Plus Cordless 48cm lawnmower is a robust tool that comes with powerful Samsung lithium ion batteries and has an excellent running time.

It’s packed with other features that make this a viable, more eco-friendly alternative to petrol such as a mulching mode and self propelled drive. There’s lots more I want to talk about with this mower so in my Warrior Eco Power Equipment 60v Performance Plus Cordless 48cm lawnmower review, I’ll be covering all the main features, looking at the pros and cons and helping you decide whether this is the right lawn mower for your garden.

When it comes to cordless mowers, power is one of the first things that can let a product down. While many people are keen to use the more eco-friendly mowing option of battery power, moving over from petrol can see a reduction in power.

With that in mind, I’ve been looking for cordless mowers that are environmentally friendly but still have enough get up and go to get the mowing done without a fuss. Einhell is a well respected German brand that has released the RASARRO range; a collection of three different sized cordless lawn mowers that cannot be rivalled when it comes to power.

In my Einhell Power X-Change RASARRO 36/38 cordless lawn mower review I’ll be looking at the mid-sized model within this range. It’s suitable for lawns up to 450m² and boasts a 38 cm cutting deck, sliding adjustable handle, mulching mode and much more.

I’ve been very happy with what I’ve seen from the Einhell Power X-Change RASARRO 36/38 cordless lawn mower review and I’d love to help you decide whether this is the right lawn mower for you. So, let’s take a closer look together.

Main Features

  • 36 v ( 2 x 18 v 4.0Ah batteries)
  • Brushless motor
  • Mulching plug
  • 6 cutting heights
  • 38 cm cutting width
  • Sliding handle adjustment
  • Dual fast charger included
  • Power X-Change batteries
  • 45 litre grass box with level indicator

Conclusion

Within the family of three RASARRO lawn mowers, the Einhell Power X-Change RASARRO 36/38 cordless lawn mower is the  mid-sized model. It’s not the most showy cordless lawn mower I’ve ever seen but it’s got more than enough to make lawn care quick and simple for the domestic gardener.

What I love is how easy it is to use. There’s no complicated start ups like there are with a petrol mower, although the handle bar does resemble a petrol model so there’s a degree of familiarity there. The controls are super simple to use including the sliding handle and cutting height lever. Plus, with powerful batteries that charge in barely any time at all, you won’t experience much down time.

There were a couple of very minor drawbacks that I found with this model including the weight. But these are by no means a reason to be put off buying the Einhell Power X-Change RASARRO 36/38 cordless lawn mower. As an all-round, easy to use mower, this has to be one of the best.

 

Pros
  • Great mid-range German brand
  • Petrol style starter
  • Power share with up to 300 other tools
  • Dual charger included
  • Powerful and smooth brushless motor
  • Sliding adjustable handles
Cons
  • Petrol style starter Grass box is difficult to store
  • Slightly heavy

If you’re keen to jump on the cordless lawn mower bandwagon then I’ve got some really good news; German brand, Einhell, has released a range of three cordless mowers that offer amazing power and easy lawn maintenance.

The Einhell Power X-change RASARRO 36/42 cordless lawn mower is the largest of the three and has a wide 42 cm cutting deck making it suitable for lawns up to 725 square metres. The mower is ideal for people who have never used a cordless model before thanks to how simple and convenient its features are. But that doesn’t come at the expense of excellent performance.

The features of the Einhell Power X-change RASARRO 36/42 cordless lawn mower don’t differ all that much from its smaller brothers and it’s really the size that sets it apart. But if you’re unsure of whether this is the right mower for you, the information in this Einhell Power X-change RASARRO 36/42 cordless lawn mower review will help you make the right decision.

Main Features

  • 42 cm cutting deck
  • 36 v battery power
  • Dual charger
  • Mulching option
  • 50 litre grass collection box
  • Adjustable handles
  • 6 easily adjustable cutting heights
  • Lightweight plastic body
  • 2 year guarantee

Conclusion

I can’t deny that all of the mowers in this range have impressed me. The largest model, the Einhell Power X-change RASARRO 36/42 cordless lawn mower, has a range of useful features that make it both powerful and convenient.

I really struggled to find many things that I didn’t like about the Einhell Power X-change RASARRO 36/42 cordless lawn mower. In fact, aside from the fact that you may need slightly more powerful batteries for massive lawns and that it’s a little heavy, it’s a fantastic bit of kit.

What I noticed about the Einhell Power X-Change RASARRO 36/34 cordless lawn mower was the lack of cons. Usually when I review a mower, I’ll find something that makes me question whether this is a worthwhile product. But with this one, there were few drawbacks and even then, they were so minor that they’re hardly worth a mention.

Overall, I’d say that this is a fantastic investment for anyone looking for a cordless mower. It’s not the cheapest model on the market nor is it the most expensive. But what you can guarantee is that it comes from a brand whose reputation you can trust.

 

Pros
  • Power X-change with up to 300 other tools
  • Multiple mowing options
  • Good mid-range German brand
  • Sliding handle adjustment
  • Powerful brushless motor
  • Dual charger supplied
  • Petrol style starter bar
Cons
  • A little heavy

Known for its German engineering and power, Einhell is a brand that has a fantastic reputation within the garden tools industry. When I heard about the Power X-Change RASARRO range of cordless lawnmowers from the brand, I was incredibly excited to try them out.

There are three mowers in the range and in this Einhell Power X-Change RASARRO 36/34 cordless lawn mower review, I’ll be discussing the features of the smallest model. However, I’ll also be posting separate reviews of the other mowers in the collection to help you decide which is the right model for you.

The Einhell Power X-Change RASARRO 36/34 cordless lawn mower is suitable for lawns up to 300 square metres and comes with a handy array of features to make lawn care easy. What I really like is how powerful a cut you get considering the size of the machine and what uniform results the Einhell Power X-Change RASARRO 36/34 cordless lawn mower creates. Let’s take a closer look at what to expect from this mower.

Main Features

  • 34 cm cutting width (for lawns up to 300 square metres.)
  • 5 cutting height options
  • 30 litre hybrid grass collection box
  • Power X-Change batteries
  • 2 x 3.0Ah 18v batteries included
  • Foldable handle for storage
  • Comes with two chargers
  • Carry handle

Conclusion

I’ve always been a fan of Einhell lawn mowers and I knew that the Einhell Power X-Change RASARRO 36/34 cordless lawn mower was going to impress me. But I couldn’t be prepared for just how impressive it was going to be.

This is the smallest model in the range and is recommended for lawns up to 300 square metres. While the battery capacity would work on even bigger lawns, the 34 cm cutting width might make mowing anything over 300m² a bit of a task.

What I noticed about the Einhell Power X-Change RASARRO 36/34 cordless lawn mower was the lack of cons. Usually when I review a mower, I’ll find something that makes me question whether this is a worthwhile product. But with this one, there were few drawbacks and even then, they were so minor that they’re hardly worth a mention.

Overall, I’d say that this is a fantastic investment for anyone looking for a cordless mower. It’s not the cheapest model on the market nor is it the most expensive. But what you can guarantee is that it comes from a brand whose reputation you can trust.

 

Pros
  • Power share with up to 300 other tools
  • Good mid-range German brand
  • 2 chargers included
  • Petrol style starter bar
  • Powerful brushless motor
  • Easy to store
Cons
  • No option to buy as a bare tool

The Greenworks 40V Cordless Lawn Mower 41cm is one of the best selling cordless lawn mowers in the UK, but is it all what it's cracked up to be? I used this mower in my own garden, where I tested its performance, power and durability with a number of tasks that I will share with you in this review.

 

This Greenworks G40LM41K2x mower has been selling extremely well here in the UK, why? Well because it is simply great value for money, and competes well with the likes of Bosch and WORX to boot! Mulching the lawn cuttings is becoming more and more popular, and this mower comes supplied with a mulching plug as standard (something you have to pay extra for with Murray cordless mowers).

 

What about quality though I hear you say? Well I think you will be equally impressed when you see me put this mower through its paces in my video review below.

Main Features

  • Covers areas up to 250m² in size per battery (500m² for 2 x 2.0Ah)
  • 2 x 40V, 2.0Ah Li-on battery
  • Blade length: 41cm (16")
  • Number of Cutting Heights: 6 (25mm-80mm)
  • Grass box capacity: 50 litre
  • Charge time: impressive 30 minutes per battery with the optional fast charger
  • Free run time: 15 minutes per 2.0Ah battery (30 minutes total)
  • Mulching option
  • Rear Discharge

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with lawns up to 500m² in size.
  • Those who require a quick battery charge time (30mins per battery).
  • People who want a battery that is interchangeable with other Greenworks garden tools.
  • Those who want to mulch and cut & collect grass with the same machine.
  • Those who require a medium size cutting deck (41cm) that can work efficiently in small, medium and large gardens.
  • People who want a large grass collection box (50L) to reduce the amount of stops.
  • People who have limited storage as this mower is compact with folding handles.

Conclusion

Overall this is a very good mower, with a good sized deck and features that will help make cutting your lawn a breeze. The easy height adjustment, the mulching ability, being able to exchange batteries in other Greenworks tools and above all the excellent value for money, makes this mower a great investment.

Don’t forget recharging the battery only takes 30 minutes each with the fast charger (90 minutes with standard charger)and you get two with this mower. You get the job done quickly and in one go (under 500m²) giving you more time to sit back and enjoy your beautiful lawn!

Greenworks are really getting a name for themselves here in the UK and proving to be a reliable and cost effective brand.

 

Pros
  • Mulching Facility
  • Battery is Interchangeable with Other Greenworks Tools
  • Large 50 Litre Grass Box
  • Great Value for Money
  • Number of Cutting Heights: 6 (25mm-80mm)
  • Impressive 30 Minutes Charge Time (fast charger)
Cons
  • This mower does not have a rear roller so you will not achieve a striped lawn finish.
  • You can only charge one battery at a time, so a second charger may be required.

EGO’s LM1903E-SP Cordless lawnmower has a large capacity 56-volt Arc Lithium battery powering its brushless motor. The mower comes with a multitude of creative design features, telescopic handles and headlights.

Main Features

  • For Lawns of up to 800m²
  • Blade Length: 47cm (18.5-inch)
  • Weight: 25 Kg
  • Number of Cutting Heights: 7 (from 20 mm to 80 mm)

  • Battery: 5Ah 56-Volt Lithium-Ion 280Wh
  • Deck Noise: 93.5 Decibels (80.3 dB at the operator level)
  • Handle: Telescopic with Foam Grip

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with gardens up to 800 m2 in size.
  • Those looking for a premium powerful battery mower with great features.
  • People looking for a genuine alternative to a petrol powered mower.

Conclusion

The two most important features on this mower are the 5Ah battery and the rapid charger. Both these items bring the EGO LM1903E-SP in direct competition with a petrol mower of a similar cutting size. And these batteries can recharge in the same amount of time that most of us would take driving to a petrol station to fill up a jerrycan.

If you are looking for a genuine alternative to a petrol lawn mower then EGO have produced the technology to make this a reality. In the US where people are reluctant to use anything else but petrol (gas) mowers, EGO are making a real impression with more and more die-hard gas users converting to this EGO LM1903E-SP mower and other cordless battery powered EGO mowers.

Pros
  • The telescopic handle doubles as a stand and wheelie trolley.
  • 5Ah Arc Lithium battery.

  • Vertical space saving storage.
  • Single deck height control lever.
  • Hybrid grass box.
  • Space for an optional roller.
  • 5-year warranty (3-year on batteries).
Cons
  • The mulching plug is an optional extra.
  • The roller is an optional extra.
  • The wheels are a little narrow.

EGO’s LM1701E-SP Cordless lawnmower comes with a 56-volt lithium-ion battery and plenty of other great innovations. EGO’s advanced and market leading battery technology means that the range of EGO cordless mowers have the power to be genuine alternatives to petrol mowers. This mower has a different handlebar design to most other lawn mowers, and the deck is reminiscent of the shape a petrol mower would have.

In this article we will take a look at all these features and functions of this EGO mower and by the end of this review I hope you will have enough information to decided if this EGO mower is worth the investment.

Main Features

  • For Lawns of up to 400m²
  • Blade Length: 42cm (16.5-inch)
  • Self Propelled: LM1701E-SP model
  • Weight: 26 Kg
  • Number of Cutting Heights: 7 (from 20mm to 80mm)
  • Grass Box Capacity: 55 L
  • Motor: 3000 rpm Brushless-Motor
  • Battery: 2.5Ah 56-Volt Lithium-Ion 140Wh
  • Deck Noise: 91.3 Decibels (77.8 dB at the operator level)
  • Handle: Telescopic with Foam Grip and fold flat

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with gardens up to 400 metres squared in size.
  • People looking for a self propelled mower (LM1701E-SP model).
  • Those looking for a premium powerful battery mower with great features.
  • People looking for a genuine alternative to a petrol powered mower.
  • Those looking to adjust the mower’s handles to reduce fatigue.
  • Those that would like the option to mulch the grass cuttings (optional extra).
  • Those that like the option of rear discharge.
  • Storage is limited as handles and grass box fold flat, and the mower can be stored vertically.
  • People looking for a longer warranty period (5 years domestic on mower  – 3 years on battery).

Conclusion

The EGO LM1701E-SP is one of the best battery power mowers currently on offer, and if you are looking for a neat and tidy package, then this may be it. EGO also makes a the same model with no self propulsion, that is cheaper, however I would recommend paying the extra and going for the self propelled version – LM1701E-SP.

In summary, if you have the budget for this mower, and possibly other tools from EGO, you will definitely not be disappointed. I can honestly say, that this is one of the best (if not the best), cordless mower on the market right now.

 

Pros
  • Telescopic handle doubles as a wheelie trolley for the mower.
  • Vertical space saving storage.
  • Self Propelled (LM1701E-SP model).
  • Brushless motor.
  • Headlights on the deck.
  • 56 Volt powerful market leading lithium-ion battery.
  • It comes with a standard charger that is still fast when compared to other brands.
  • Single deck height control lever.
  • Safe-start key.
  • High quality, sharp, steel blade that cuts the grass on the first rotation (Mulching Plug and Roller can be purchased as optional extras).
  • Foam on the handlebar to absorb vibrations.
  • Wide cutting blade.
  • 5-year warranty on the mower (3-year on batteries), if registered within 30 days of purchase.
Cons
  • Mulching plug and Rear roller are optional extras and are not included out of the box.
  • This mower is 26kg, and therefore would recommend the self-propelled model unless you have a level lawn.

I’d been hoping to find a cordless lawn mower that might rival the power and performance of a petrol tool. That was when I stumbled upon the EGO Power+ LM2135-SP and all of my dreams came true. OK, let’s not hide the fact that this is a pretty pricey machine, but is that investment well worth it?

The EGO Power+ LM2135-SP is a lawn mower that’s designed for large lawns. With a cutting width of 52cm, seven cutting heights, various mowing modes, a huge grass box and a multi-blade system, it’s no surprise that this looks set to put petrol mowers back in the past.

I love how many features the EGO Power+ LM2135-SP has and how easy it is to use. Even if you’ve never mowed a lawn in your life before, you’ll have no problems getting to grips with this one. In my EGO Power+ LM2135-SP review, I’ll be introducing you to all the features you can look forward to from this machine.

I did a video review of the smaller brother to this mower, the 42cm deck EGO LM1701E-SP, and was so impressed at its performance and build quality. So does this LM2135-SP carry on these impressive features, or is this huge 52cm model too big for it's boots?

Main Features

  • Battery included: 7.5Ah
  • Mowing modes: 3 - cut and collect, mulching and rear discharge
  • Cutting heights: 7 (from 30mm to 90mm)

  • Rapid charger included
  • LED headlights

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with gardens up to 1000 m2 in size.
  • Those looking for a premium powerful battery mower with great features.
  • People looking for a genuine alternative to a petrol powered mower.

  • Those that like the option of rear discharge.
  • People looking for a longer warranty period (5 years domestic on mower  - 3 years on battery).
  • Those that DON'T want a stripped lawn appearance.

Conclusion

I can’t say that there’s a lot I don’t like about the EGO Power+ LM2135-SP. It’s bursting with features that put it right up there with the big guns. In fact, it probably sets the precedent for a lot of future cordless mowers.

While it might require you to make something of an investment in terms of the cost, it’s well worth it if you want a powerful, reliable, and efficient machine that has the power and performance to make light work of the toughest conditions.

For people with medium to large lawns, a robust and hard working mower is a must and that’s exactly what you’ll get with the Cobra RM43SP80v. It’s one of the most powerful cordless mowers on the market with an 80v mower and gives a great running time of up to 50 minutes.

 

The Cobra RM43SP80v has a lot more features to get us talking so in my Cobra RM43SP80v review, I’ll go through everything you need to know to figure out if this is the lawn mower for you. If you prefer to see the product in action, you can check out my video review of this lawn mower.

 

Main Features

  • 80v motor
  • 2 x 40v 5.0Ah batteries included
  • 2 x fast chargers included
  • 50l grass bag
  • Full rear roller
  • Quiet operation
  • Self-propelled drive
  • Fan under deck
  • 43cm cutting width

Conclusion

I'll be honest, this has to be the nicest cordless mower I have ever tested, and that's saying something. Yes it does come at a price but, I hope you can see from this review and my video that it's really worth it. The Cobra RM43SP80v is a brilliant investment if you want a powerful and reliable self-propelled lawn mower that produces well defined and long lasting stripes that are the envy of your neighbours.

 

Out of all the mowers I have tested this one is staying for my own personal use. Even my wife says "can you stripe the lawn?" instead of "can you mow the lawn?" and this Cobra is the machine to do it and do it well.

 

It almost feels like you are using a petrol mower, without all the noise, fumes and maintenance of course.

 

The batteries in this 40v range can be power shared with other tools such as hedge trimmers, grass trimmers and leaf blowers etc.

 

It’s robust and designed for a range of mowing situations so is perfect if you’re after something versatile and easy to operate and maintain.

 

It’s got everything you’d expect from a high end machine and a performance to match.

Pros
  • Powerful motor and battery interchangeable with other Cobra garden tools.
  • Perfect for a great striped lawn appearance
  • Up to 50mins Run Time (No Load)
  • Self-propelled drive
  • Low 17mm cutting height
  • Very powerful 80v brushless motor
  • Comfortable and easy to use
  • Stores easily
  • Sturdy steel deck with built in fan
  • 2 Year Warranty.
Cons
  • Larger upfront investment (but still good value)
  • Extra batteries can be expensive for this model.
  • Only has single speed self-propelled drive

  • Those that want a compact (34cm cutting width) cordless mower that is easy to manoeuvre around the garden.

Conclusion

Cobra has put a soft foam grip on the handlebar — and the manufacturer claims that it makes 67 decibels at the operator’s level. The MX3440V is a comfortable and quiet machine to operate, and you can expect to get from it, what you paid for.

This is an award-winning mower for last year (2019) and I can see why it is so popular. You really can’t go wrong with this mower, it’s great value and you also get the peace of mind of having a Cobra 2 year warranty as well.

I finally got my hands on this Hyundai 80 volt cordless mower, and could not wait to test it out on my 500m² lawn, to see if all the positive feedback I have received is justified.

 

Just bear in mind there is also a push version available (without the self-propelled drive) and this is the model I used in my video review below - Hyundai HYM80LI460P (all other features are identical).

 

Before we get into the review of this Hyundai HYM80LI460SP Cordless Lawnmower, I think it’s worth saying a quick word about cordless self-propelled lawn mowers in general. If you asked me 3 or 4 years ago if a cordless self-propelled lawn mower is any good and worth the investment, I would have said a resounding no! But in 2022, the battery and motor technology, and indeed, mower technology in general, has improved to such an extent that my answer now would be, most definitely "yes".  In this Hyundai HYM80LI460SP review you will see why cordless mowers, and in particular self-propelled cordless mowers, are now a real and viable alternative to petrol mowers.

Main Features

  • 45.2cm (18-inch) cutting width
  • Powerful 80v lithium-ion battery
  • Mulching and side discharge options
  • Large 65-litre grass collection bag
  • Vertical storage
  • Self-propelled drive
  • Foldable design for easy storage
  • Safety key
  • Quiet operation

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • Those that like the convenience of a self-propelled lawn mower.
  • People with gardens up to 600m² in size.
  • Those that like to have a longer warranty including the battery (3 Years).
  • People that like the option to side and rear discharge the grass cuttings.
  • Those that require the option to mulch the cuttings.
  • People that do NOT want a striped lawn effect.
  • Those who want the option of fast battery charge time (30 minutes) – Optional extra.
  • People who do not want the hassle of cords or petrol.
  • Those that require a larger grass collection box for less stops.

Conclusion

The Hyundai HYM80LI460SP is a mower that is at the top of its game. It is a diverse piece of equipment that will stand the test of time thanks to the powerful, long-lasting batteries and robust outer steel shell of the machine.

Mowing has never been more simple, and this is largely owing to the self-propelled drive of this piece of equipment but can also be attributed to the large grass collection bag, ample cutting width, variable cutting heights and options.

In terms of modern mowers, you won’t find anything quite as effective and impressive as this.

Pros
  • Self-propelled
  • 4 cutting options - cut and collect, mulching, side discharge and rear discharge.
  • Good run-time (up to 40 min)
  • Large grass box (65 litres)
  • Stainless steel deck
  • Good cutting width
  • Mulching and side discharge plugs supplied
  • Easy vertical storage option
  • No emissions and low noise
  • Powerful batteries
Cons
  • No roller for a striped lawn
  • Higher initial investment when compared to a petrol mower
  • Only a single charger supplied for two batteries

Conclusion

This Murray 44cm Cordless Lawn Mower really compares so well to other brands such as Bosch and WORX in terms of build quality, performance and practicalities. It was difficult to find any negatives specifically with this mower that is not common across all battery powered mowers. No, the Murray is not the cheapest mower of this size on the market, however you are getting a premium mower that delivers features and quality that really will make mowing the lawn that much easier and more enjoyable.

As lawn mowers go, this is one of the more environmentally friendly machines that you will find. It does not emit fumes like a petrol mower.

No cables are powering it, so you do not have to worry about slicing through one as you go around the lawn. And the batteries are compatible with other Murray cordless tools.

 

Pros
  • Simple. No complex mechanics or oil changes.
  • Good run time at 36 minutes.
  • Large 50 litre grass collection box.
  • Larger rear wheels for manoeuvrability and stability.

  • Batteries interchangeable with other Murray tools.
  • Economical. No fuel to buy or engine parts to maintain.
  • Safe in storage. Without batteries and key, the mower will not work.
  • Lithium-ion batteries will stay charged for many months in storage. Petrol clogs carburettors when left for a period of months.
Cons
  • No mulching plug.
  • No rear roller.

Having recently tried out the younger brother of the LawnMaster CLMF4841E, I knew that it was likely that I would be just as impressed with this model. This is an excellent petrol alternative as it packs a lot of power and is perfect for larger gardens. What’s more, the LawnMaster 41cm cordless mower comes with a good range of features to ensure a neat finish and easy mowing. Having a rear lawn of around 500 square metres provided a good test for this product in terms of battery run-time, power, performance and cut quality. More on this later.

The LawnMaster 48v comes with a mulching blade and plug, rear discharge as well as a rear roller, so you have a great variety of options when it comes to how you mow your lawn. With a generous range of cutting heights between 22mm and 72mm, this simply adds to the versatility.

If it’s value for money you are after, then there’s nothing quite as good as the LawnMaster CLMF4841E. It not only comes with four batteries, but also two fast chargers, so you’ll never run out of power. In my LawnMaster 48v 41cm review and video, I’ll cover everything you need to know to figure out if this is the right tool for your garden.

Main Features

  • 48v power share batteries x 4
  • 3-in-1 cutting options – mulching, cut & collect, rear discharge
  • Rear roller for striped lawn
  • 41cm cutting deck
  • 2 x fast chargers included
  • Larger rear wheels for better manoeuvrability
  • Foldable handle for storage
  • Mulching plug included
  • 42 litre grass collection bag
  • Intelligent power
  • Cut to edge
  • 2-year warranty

Conclusion

I like LawnMaster as a brand in general, so I already knew that I would be impressed by the LawnMaster CLMF4841E and it didn’t disappoint. This cordless lawn mower is versatile and reliable and delivers a cut that looks neat and professional, that I hope was clearly demonstrated in my video review.

There are a couple of drawbacks in that you don’t have too many power share options and you get two separate chargers as opposed to dual charger. But this is hardly a deal breaker and doesn’t in any way affect the functionality of this amazing, powerful, well-built cordless battery mower that is great value for money and comes highly recommended.

Take a look at my video review of this mower above, and see it in action for yourself.

Pros
  • 3-in-1 cutting options (mulching, cut and collect, rear discharge)
  • Rear roller for striped lawn appearance
  • Intelligent sensor to adjust power
  • Versatile cutting heights (including a lower 22mm cut)
  • Vertical storage, folding handles
  • Excellent value for money
  • Comes with additional batteries (4 in total)
  • Power share batteries
  • 2 fast chargers supplied
  • Easy to manoeuvre due to larger rear wheels
Cons
  • No dual charger - two separate fast chargers supplied
  • Limited number of other LawnMaster garden tools to share batteries with

Before I get into the nitty gritty of the batteries for this battery powered lawn mower, I’d like to point out that you do need to purchase the batteries separately. Of course you can also buy the Hayter Hawk as a bare tool if you already have compatible batteries.

What’s great, however, is that you have a good number of options. There are four batteries to choose from; a 2.5Ah battery although this is only suitable for the 36 Push Hayter Hawk, 4.0Ah, 6.0Ah or 7.5Ah batteries which can be used across all of these tools. Moreover, each of these 60V batteries can be power shared with other tools in the Toro garden tool range.

You will need to choose your batteries in line with the size of your lawn. For example, the 4.0Ah battery will handle lawns up to 300 square metres, but Hayter states that it can be used on lawns up to 900m². However, I doubt that this is the case on a single charge even with its adaptable power boost function.

With this battery powered mower, you will need to purchase the battery charger separately, but again, you’ve got options. There is a standard charger which will fully boost the 7.5Ah battery in three hours and the 6.0Ah battery in 2.3 hours. This charger is also suitable for the 2.5Ah battery which it’ll recharge in as little as an hour!

Alternatively, you might opt for the fast charger. Naturally, this will cost a little more, but it comes with the advantage of being able to refill the 7.5Ah battery in just 66 minutes! The 6.0Ah battery will be ready to go again in just shy of an hour with the rapid charger.

Buying the batteries separately should be considered an investment and this can put some people off, but when you consider how efficient they are and that the 7.5Ah can handle up to 900 square metres, it’s an investment worth making.

Main Features

  • Choice of three mowers with cutting decks of 36cm or 43cm
  • Self-propelled or push options available
  • Seven cutting heights ranging from 19mm to 70mm
  • One button height adjustment
  • 40L or 50L grass collection box
  • Rear roller
  • Vertical storage
  • Choice of four batteries
  • Power share batteries across the range, can also be shared with Toro® 60V garden tools
  • Carry handle
  • 3 year warranty

Conclusion

Having spent some time looking at the Hayter Hawk, I can confidently say that this is an excellent piece of equipment. OK, your first thought might be how much? But once you realise what a great litter performer this is and how easy it makes maintaining your lawn, you’ll quickly understand why it’s worth the investment.

Pros
  • Self-propelled variable speed drive model available
  • Good range of 7 cutting heights from 19mm to 70mm
  • Low 19mm cutting height for a bowling green finish
  • Vertical storage space saving feature
  • Powerful 60 volt batteries that are power share across the range
  • Rear roller for striped lawn appearance
  • Super easy height adjustment
  • Power boost technology - power when needed that extends battery runtime
  • A trusted brand with good after sales service
  • Excellent 3-year warranty (must be serviced by Hayter authorised dealer)
  • Spare parts and support readily available in the UK
Cons
  • You must have the mower serviced by Hayter each year to keep your warranty
  • High initial upfront investment
  • Heavier, but not as much as the Hayter Harrier 60V

Whoever said that cordless lawn mowers couldn’t rival the power of petrol? Well, that may have been the case some years ago, but I’ve recently discovered the Makita DLM530Z and what an impressive little machine it is!

If you’ve got a larger garden and want a reliable cordless lawn mower that won’t give up halfway through, then you’re in the right place. The Makita DLM530Z is designed with long running times, user friendliness, durability and performance in mind.

It offers versatile mowing methods and has everything you need to get your lawn neat and tidy with minimal effort. In this Makita DLM530Z review, I’ll be running through some of the most impressive features, and I’m sure by the end, you’ll know if it's worth splashing out on this high end cordless mower from Makita.

Main Features

  • Maximum lawn size: 2,300m²
  • Batteries: 2 x 18V Lithium-ion (not included) creating a combined 36V motor
  • Blade length: 53cm
  • Deck material: Steel
  • Cutting options: cut & collect, side discharge and mulching
  • Weight: 39.3 kg (including 4 batteries)
  • Cutting heights: 10 from 20mm-100mm
  • Grass box capacity: 70 L
  • Warranty: 3 Years
  • Adjustable handle
  • Electric brake
  • Quiet mode

This Makita DLM530Z Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with large gardens up to 2300m² in size.
  • Those that already have or are planning to use a range of 18v tools from Makita.
  • People who want large cutting width of 53cm so mowing the lawn is fast with fewer passes.
  • Those who want impressive 10 height adjustments ranging from 20mm to 100mm.
  • People that require the option not to collect the cuttings - either to mulch or side discharge.
  • Those that want precision when it comes to cutting height.
  • Customers looking for a powerful yet quiet lawn mower.

Conclusion

I won’t lie, I love the Makita DLM530Z; but I think that’s been evident throughout this review. It’s versatile, powerful, easy to use and durable. There isn’t much that I could say puts me off this lawn mower. It’s a little disappointing that you have to buy the batteries and charger separately, but this certainly isn’t uncommon where cordless mowers are concerned and allows you to configure the mower to suit you and your lawn.

As mentioned, the fact that the mower is on the heavy side with all four 6.0Ah batteries loaded, and is not self-propelled, may put some people off this model. They may prefer to opt for the self-propelled model. Other than that, the Makita DLM530Z is an elite tool that will make a welcome addition to your Makita collection of home and garden tools.

 

Pros
  • Easy to operate and move
  • Longer runtimes with 4 battery slots with power level gauge on bars
  • 3-in-1 cutting options, collecting, mulching and side discharge
  • Power share LXT Li-Ion batteries
  • Durable steel deck that is easy to clean
  • Large 53cm blade for fast cutting
  • Large sized 70 Litre grass collector with level indicator

Hayter is known for its high-quality equipment and the Hayter Osprey 46 60V cordless mower is no exception. If you have a mid-sized garden and want the power of petrol combined with the convenience of cordless then this is a machine well worth considering.

With a 46cm steel deck, seven cutting heights and a choice of mowing modes, you’re getting a good degree of versatility. On top of this, the Hayter Osprey 46 is beautifully easy to use with a push button start and a quick release grass collection bag.

If all of that wasn’t enough, could the self-propelled drive be enough to tempt you? Or perhaps the power boost function that both saves energy and delivers just the right power for the conditions. There’s so much to love about this tool and in my Hayter Osprey 46 review, I’ll be taking you through a deep dive of the features. Let’s not waste any more time and get started.

Main Features

  • Cutting deck: 46cm
  • Self-propelled variable speed drive
  • 60v lithium-ion battery available in 2.5Ah, 6.0Ah and 7.5Ah
  • Choice of standard or fast charger packages
  • Suitable for lawns up to 500m² (900m² with 7.5Ah battery)
  • Folding handles
  • Grass collection bag: 55 litre
  • Cutting heights: 7 (25mm to 70mm)
  • Weight: 29kg (without battery)
  • Durable steel deck
  • Cut and collect or rear discharge

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with gardens up to 900m2 in size (with 7.5Ah battery). Recommended for 500m2 lawns with standard 6.0Ah battery.
  • Those who want a self-propelled variable speed drive.
  • Those that like to power share batteries with other Hayter garden tools and Toro's Flex-Force Power System.
  • People who want generous 7 cutting heights that range from 25mm to 70mm.
  • Those that want a petrol alterative and do not want to store oil and fuel.
  • People that do NOT want to create a stripped lawn appearance.
  • Those who like the convenience of having no power cord or have limited or no access to a power source in the garden.
  • People who like to purchase a trusted premium brand with good after sales support.

Conclusion

Hayter lawn mowers are typically a little more expensive than other brands, but this price is reflected in both the quality and performance of these machines. The Hayter Osprey 46 60v cordless mower is a super convenient, powerful, and easy to use cordless mower that puts a lot of others to shame. I’ve been very impressed with it and despite some very minor flaws, it’s a lawn mower I have no qualms in recommending.

Pros
  • Cordless self-propelled variable speed drive
  • Good range of 7 cutting heights from 25mm to 70mm
  • Powerful 60 volt batteries that power share across the range
  • Strong steel deck
  • Easy to clean with hose wash port

  • Replacement batteries are costly (6.0Ah: £250 / 7.5Ah: £300)
  • High initial upfront investment

I recently talked about the Hayter Harrier 48 VS cordless mower which is a gigantic cordless lawnmower made for large gardens. But then I got to thinking; does this premium brand offer anything smaller for people with not such large lawns. I’m pleased to say that the answer to that question is yes! The Hayter Harrier 41 VS is great for gardens up to 600m² and aside from having a 1.5kw motor as opposed to the 2.0kw motor on the 48, the deck size is the only difference.

If you’re looking for a cordless lawn mower that will be a viable petrol alternative then I’d strongly recommend giving this one a chance. OK, it’s something of an investment but you’re paying for superior quality and a cut that’ll blow your socks off!

The main feature of this lawn mower is the heavy rear roller that gives lasting stripes and a wonderfully formal look to the lawn. But there are plenty of other things to get excited about, so let’s take a deep dive with my Hayter Harrier 41 VS review.

Main Features

  • 41cm aluminium cutting deck
  • Power Boost technology
  • Rear roller
  • 60V battery
  • 1.5kw DC motor
  • Leaf collection
  • Large 70 litre grass collection bag
  • 7 cutting heights from 13mm to 60mm
  • Variable speed
  • Folding handles
  • Hose wash port
  • 5 year warranty
  • 3 year battery warranty

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with gardens up to 600m2 in size (with 7.5Ah battery). Recommended for 300m2 lawns
  • People who do like a striped lawn.
  • Those who want a self-propelled variable speed drive.
  • Those that like to power share batteries with other garden tools.
  • People who want generous 7 cutting heights that range from 13mm to 60mm.
  • People who like to cut their lawn exceptionally low for formal appearance.
  • Those who like the convenience of having no power cord or have limited or no access to a power source in the garden.
  • People who like to purchase a trusted premium brand with good after sales support.

Conclusion

More and more manufacturers are throwing out cordless mowers and I have to say that some are shockingly inferior. But that is not the case with the Hayter Harrier 41 VS; this is a premium lawn mower that has a range of useful features that make maintaining your garden something of a joy.

The mower has variable speeds, a low cutting height, cuts to the edge of the lawn, a very effective rear roller and so much more. I can’t think of any reason why anyone wouldn’t love using this tool!

Pros
  • Self-propelled variable speed drive
  • Good range of 7 cutting heights from 13mm to 60mm
  • Low 13mm cutting height for a bowling green finish
  • Powerful 60 volt batteries that are power share across the range
  • Split ribbed rear roller for striped lawn appearance and easy turning and manoeuvrability
  • Strong aluminium deck
  • Super easy height adjustment
  • Power boost technology - power when needed that extends battery runtime
  • A trusted brand with good after sales service
  • Excellent 5-year warranty (must be serviced by Hayter authorised dealer)

Having had great reports about this and other cordless mowers from Cobra, I was pleased to get hold of this Cobra MX4140V and see for myself just how good these mowers are or was it all hype?

 

Cordless mowers are becoming more and more popular, but one of the things that I have noticed on a lot of models is that there aren’t always as many features as other types of mowers. Of course, this isn’t across the board and there are some cordless mowers out there that are incredibly powerful and have a load of features to boot. This Cobra MX4140V is a fine example of this, but does it live up to its reputation for not only power and features, but also build quality, performance and ease of use?

 

With a 41cm cutting deck, this lawn mower is suitable for medium to large sized lawns, but that certainly doesn’t mean that it isn’t super practical to be used even on smaller lawns. I managed to cut my 500m² lawn in difficult conditions (see video review below), on a single charge from the 4.0 volt 4.0AH battery. It comes with a handy mulching plug, seven cutting heights and a long lasting battery, so you’ve got a lot of options in terms of how you mow. Moreover, this machine has been designed with user comfort in mind and is bursting with useful features like the ergonomic handle, steel deck and full flap on the grass box, which makes your life that little bit easier.

 

Main Features

  • For Lawns of up to 400m²
  • Blade Length: 41 cm (16-inch)
  • Weight: 19.3 Kg
  • Number of Cutting Heights: 7 (25mm to 75mm)
  • Mulching Plug Provided
  • Grass Box Capacity: 50 L
  • Battery: 4.0 Ah 40-Volt Lithium-Ion
  • Metal Deck
  • Deck Noise: 90 Decibels (79.9 dB at the operator level)
  • Handle: Double Folding with Foam Grip
  • Handle Incorporates a Battery Power Indicator

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with gardens up to 400m² in size.
  • People who want a good range of 7 cutting heights that range from 25mm to 75mm.
  • Those that want the ability to extend the run time by purchasing additional batteries.
  • Those that may have other Cobra cordless tools as batteries are interchangeable.
  • Those that like to have the option to mulch the grass cuttings.
  • Those that want a 41cm cutting width cordless mower that is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre around the garden.
  • People who do NOT want striped lawn appearance.
  • Those who like the convenience of having no power cord or have limited or no access to a power source in the garden.

Conclusion

I have really enjoyed testing and using this Cobra MX4140V and have found it to be efficient, reliable, versatile and easy to use. It certainly isn’t lacking when it comes to providing a precise and efficient performance. Combined with the 2-in-1 cutting options, this is a tool that comes with many advantages and is suitable for medium to larger sized lawns. What’s more, with that generous 2-year warranty, you needn’t have to worry about forking out for some time to come!

 

Don't forget that Cobra also have the smaller MX3140V model, with its smaller 34cm deck. This would be better suited for those with smaller lawns under 250m².

 

Take a look at my video review above to see this mower in action as well as unboxing, assembly, full specification, cut to edge and comparison with other mowers such as the Murray, Hyundai and LawnMaster mowers.

 

I just hope you can get your hands on one, they are so popular that stock sells out fast, good luck!

Pros
  • Powerful motor and battery interchangeable with other Cobra garden tools.
  • Very good run time (30-40 min) with a powerful 4.0Ah lithium-ion battery.
  • Steel deck material.
  • 2-in-1 cutting features - cut & collect and mulching.
  • Ergonomic handles for easy manoeuvrability and good posture whilst mowing.
  • Easy to fold up and store.
  • Fast charger with a fan to prevent the battery from overheating.
  • Centralised deck-height lever.
  • Safe start-key ignition.
  • Battery level indicator on the battery and the mower's handles.
  • Easy storage grass box complete with full flap indicator.
  • Larger rear wheels.
  • 2 Year Warranty.
Cons
  • No rear roller for striped lawn appearance.
  • Extra batteries can be expensive for this model.
  • Lowest cutting height is 25mm - some require a lower 20mm.

Having tested the smaller brother, the LawnMaster CLMF2434G 34cm, I was keen to see if this larger LawnMaster CLMFR6046A 46cm cordless mower lived up to the same quality, performance and value. Once my LawnMaster was delivered I was keen to get out and see just how good this very reasonably priced petrol alternative lawn mower really is.

If you have a large garden, then you’ve probably been making use of a petrol mower for some time now. However, what if I told you that you could have all the power of petrol without the cumbersome equipment and costly maintenance? You might not believe me right away but that is why I wanted to share this LawnMaster 60V cordless lawnmower review with you since this is one of the most impressive petrol alternatives I have seen in recent years.

Main Features

  • 46cm cutting width
  • Cut to edge
  • 6 cutting heights
  • 4-in-1 mowing function - cut & collect, mulching, rear & side discharge
  • Rear roller
  • 60 litre grass box
  • Safety key
  • 5.0Ah power-share battery
  • 60 minute run-time
  • 85 minute charge time
  • Battery and fast charger included

Conclusion

It’s been a while since I’ve gotten quite this excited about a cordless mower but the LawnMaster 60V cordless lawnmower knocked me off my feet. It is packed with features, many of which aren’t typically seen on a cordless model. But what really blew my mind was what great value for money it is when you consider everything you are getting with it including 4 in 1 cutting modes, immense power, reliability, cut to edge, flexibility and user friendliness. All that’s left to say is thank you LawnMaster; you’ve created a superb tool!

Pros
  • 4-in-1 mowing - cut & collect, mulching, rear & side discharge
  • 1 x powerful 5.0Ah power share battery supplied
  • Rear roller for striped lawn appearance
  • Intelligent sensor to adjust power
  • Great for storing in smaller spaces - foldable grass box and handles
  • Lightweight and easy to manoeuvre when compared to petrol mowers
  • Power share batteries across the LawnMaster 60v range
  • Fast charger included
  • Great value for money
  • Responsive and helpful support and customer service
Cons

  • No self-propelled option

Ryobi is one of the best consumer brands out there with a huge range of garden and power tools that are reliable and effective. So, when I heard about the Ryobi RY18LM37A-140 cordless lawn mower, I just had to check it out. It is a one of a range of garden tools that use the ONE+ battery system and comes with enough features to satisfy the needs of most domestic users, and some handy storage quirks that make it perfect for anyone who is limited on space.

But what’s this mower like to use and the quality of cut it produces? Well, let’s take a look and also see if there are any negatives you should be aware of.

Main Features

  • 37cm cutting deck
  • 45 litre grass box
  • Brushless motor – quieter with better performance
  • Folding padded handles
  • Left and right starter handles

  • Six cutting heights
  • Mulching plug
  • EasyEdge - cut closer to the edge with less trimming

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • Those that require the option to mulch the cuttings.
  • Those who like a light weight mower that has a good build quality.

Conclusion

The Ryobi RY18LM37A-140 is a compact lawn mower that folds down for easy storage and comes with a good choice of mowing options, mulching ability as well as being easy to use. One of the most impressive things about the mower is its ability to share the battery with over 150 other home and garden tools. You simply will not get that flexibility with any other brand of lawn mower. It also boasts great cordless power for such a compact machine and gives you an immaculate finish to your lawn.

Cordless mowing is one of the greatest conveniences of modern times and I’m yet to come across a lawn mower that is quite as convenient as this one. Kärcher has given us a simplistic tool that has a range of features that make it perfect for the everyday needs of the modern homeowner.

With a cutting width of 33cm, this lawn mower is ideal for small to medium sized gardens that measure up to 250m²; there is a larger version which I will introduce to you later but for many people, this one is the perfect size. What’s more, with a 2 in 1 mowing function, your garden will reap the benefits of natural fertiliser created from mulching.

In my Kärcher LMO 18-33 review I will be looking over all of the features of this machine as well as diving into the pros and cons, to help you make a more informed choice on whether this is the best appliance for you.

Main Features

  • Comes with 5.0Ah 18v battery and fast charger
  • 33cm cutting width
  • 4 cutting heights from 35mm to 65mm
  • Mulching plug
  • 35 litre grass box
  • Safety key
  • Weighs just 11.6kg
  • Fill level indicator
  • Grass combs

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with gardens up to 250m² in size.
  • Those that do NOT require a striped lawn.
  • People that like the option to mulch the grass cuttings.
  • Likes a quicker charge option 80% (94 minutes).
  • Storage is limited as handles and grass box fold flat.
  • People that have other, or plan to get additional Kärcher 18v tools.

Conclusion

The Kärcher LMO 18-33 is an affordable lawn mower that comes with a range of basic features as well as some little added extras that are perfect for domestic lawn mowing. One of the most outstanding things about this machine is that it runs on some extremely powerful 18v 5.0Ah batteries which give it the ultimate boost and a great running time. Couple this with the fast charger and you’ve got a power system to be envious of.

Moreover, this lawn mower boasts a 2 in 1 mowing function that gives you much greater versatility when tending to your garden. It’s lightweight, easy to use and delivers excellent results thanks to the sharp blades and cut to edge feature. Overall, while there are a few setbacks, I’d say this was a mower worth investing in.

 

Pros
  • Lightweight and easy to use
  • Ideal for small to medium lawns up to 250m²
  • Adjustable handles for comfortable posture
  • Larger 35 L grass box capacity for mower size
  • Quicker charge option to 80% in 94 min
  • Power share batteries with other 18v Kärcher tools
  • Folding handles and grass box for more compact storage
Cons
  • No rear roller for striped lawn appearance
  • A little pricey for a smaller cordless mower
  • Batteries are a little expensive to replace
  • Cutting heights are a little limited in number and range

Having heard so many good comments about this LawnMaster CLMF2434G cordless mower and how great the support offered by LawnMaster is, I decided to give this mower a try myself.

If you’ve got a small to medium sized garden then the last thing you want is a ginormous petrol lawn mower cluttering up the shed. For the most part, cordless is the best option here and I was very pleasantly surprised when I tried out the LawnMaster cordless lawn mower that is bursting with exciting features. When you consider the budget price of this mower compared with everything that is included, it isn’t difficult to see why this is such excellent value for money.

Main Features

  • 34cm cutting deck
  • 2-in-1 cutting options
  • Rear roller
  • Mulching plug
  • Up to 60 minute runtime (both batteries)
  • 60 minute fast charging
  • Comes with two 24v 4.0Ah batteries
  • 6 cutting heights from 20mm to 70mm
  • Lightweight 11.4kg gross weight
  • Safety key
  • 32 litre hybrid grass box
  • 2 year warranty

Conclusion

Where convenience and reliability meet, you will find the LawnMaster CLMF2434G cordless mower. It doesn’t claim to be anything that it isn’t, but what it is, is seriously impressive. It comes with everything you need to stay on top of a well-maintained lawn without the hassle of oil changes, refuelling or extensive maintenance.

I was so impressed with this mower, in terms of both build quality, performance and value for money. So much so, that I believe this is the best value cordless mower of this size on the UK market right now. The WORX WG779E.2 has held this top spot for many months, until now!  You will not be disappointed with this LawnMaster 34cm cordless mower and I really do feel it should be top of your shortlist when considering a new cordless mower.

Take a look at my video review of this mower above, and see it in action for yourself.

Pros
  • 2-in-1 mowing - cut & collect and mulching
  • 2 x powerful 4.0Ah power share batteries supplied

One of the biggest gripes for a lot of people is that when it comes from switching to cordless after years of using a petrol mower, things just aren’t as powerful or effective. Until now, that is. If you’re looking for a cordless mower that boasts the power and features of a petrol model, then I think you’re going to be hugely impressed with the Einhell GE-CM 36/47.

With a simple push button start, 4-in-1 mowing options, variable speed rear wheel drive and a whole host of other things to get excited about, this is a mower that is incredible value for money. But what is most amazing about this tool is how easy it is to operate. Yes, it’ll give your lawn an excellent cut but with very little effort on your part. If you want something that’s going to do all the hard work, you’ll find it in this mower.

Main Features

  • 47cm cutting width
  • 6 cutting heights
  • 75 litre cloth grass collection bag with grips
  • 4-in-1 mowing functions
  • Suitable for gardens up to 700m²
  • Large rear wheels
  • Self-propelled drive with variable speed
  • 4 x 4.0Ah batteries included
  • 2 x dual chargers included
  • 90 minute charging time
  • Safety key
  • Vortex technology deck
  • 2 year warranty (3 years if registered within 30 days of purchase)

Conclusion

The Einhell GE-CM 36/47 S HW Li has to be one of the best lawn mowers I have looked at in a while in terms of having everything you need. Petrol mowers are powerful, but they’re no good for the environment and they require one heck of a lot of maintenance. By comparison, this cordless mower has many of the same features without the downsides. What’s not to love?

 

Pros
  • Self-propelled drive.
  • Variable Speed.
  • Great for lawns up to 700m².
  • 4 powerful 4.0Ah batteries supplied.
  • 4 mowing options – cut and collect, mulching, side & rear discharge.

A lot of the mowers that I look at have an array of fantastic features, but the Bosch CityMower 18 is the simplest lawn mower from the brand and is ideal for those with very basic mowing needs. If you’re after something that is going to mow the lawn and then go off and make you a cup of tea; this won’t be the machine for you. However, if you want a tool to cut the grass quickly and efficiently, look no further.

While the Bosch CityMower 18 may not be packed with features, it does perform excellently with cut to edge technology and a comfortable user experience, thanks to the ErgoFlex handles. Compared to the more diverse mowers in the Bosch range like the EasyRotak, UniversalRotak and AdvancedRotak, the CityMower might be seen as the laid-back cousin.

There are a few things that might set you back when mowing, such as the lower number of cutting heights and the inability to mulch, but overall for a no frills lawn mower, I was pretty happy with it. In this Bosch cordless lawn mower CityMower 18 review, I will delve a little deeper into the pros and cons of this easy to use tool.

Main Features

  • 32cm cutting deck
  • 3 cutting heights
  • ErgoFlex handle
  • Suitable for small to medium lawns up to 300m²
  • Supplied with 1 x 4.0Ah 18v battery (or available as bare tool)
  • Lightweight at 9.9kg
  • Battery charges in 95 minutes

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with lawns up to 300m² in size.
  • Those that want to power share batteries with other 18 volt power tools from Bosch.
  • People that want a premium brand mower that has a very good build quality.
  • Those looking for a lightweight mower that is easy to manoeuvre.
  • Those that DON'T require a mulching function.
  • Those that like a simple mower without a plethora of unnecessary features.
  • People who like an ergonomically designed mower for increased comfort whilst mowing.

Conclusion

Bosch has a great range of mowers and they cater for all needs. Their CityMower 18 is ideal for smaller gardens where the needs are limited. I believe this is a great choice for people who want something that they can take out of the shed and get to work.

The mower doesn’t have the most impressive range of features, but you shouldn’t let that put you off because what it does do, it does very well.

Pros
  • Lightweight and easy to manoeuvre
  • Ergonomic handles promotes better posture
  • Simple and well placed controls
  • Great for lawns up to 300m²
  • Grass edge combs for close to edge cutting
  • Power share battery with range of 18v Bosch tools
  • Easy to assemble mower
Cons
  • Solid grass box doesn’t collapse for storage
  • No mulching option
  • Limited cutting heights
  • No rear roller for striped lawn appearance

As far as basic cordless lawn mowers go, the Bosch EasyRotak 36-550 has everything you would need for quick and convenient garden maintenance. One of the things that irks a lot of buyers is that these cordless models come with a world of features that can be difficult to get to grips with and as a result add unnecessary cost. I mean, if you like that then great; there are some excellent options, but for people who want something a little simpler, this mower may well be just what you are looking for.

The mower is designed for small to medium gardens measuring up to 550m² hence its name. In fact, usually, the mower model number will refer to the cutting width rather than the area it is designed to cover, so this is a nice bit of additional information that can help you decide whether this mower is suitable for your needs. If you do need something a little smaller, it does have a younger brother; the Bosch City Mower 18 with a 32cm cutting deck ideal for spaces up to 300 square metres, that runs on an 18v battery, where this one operates on a 36v.

While there aren’t any complex functions, the Bosch 36-550 is designed for ease of use. It boasts superior ErgoFlex handles that give the mower a more comfortable position when working as well as being lightweight and beautifully easy to manoeuvre. But it doesn’t end there, take a look over my detailed Bosch EasyRotak 36-550 review and let’s discover more.

Having tested and reviewed WORX lawn mowers over the years, I was over the moon, to say the least, to hear that they were launching their first cordless self-propelled model for 2021. What’s more, this WORX WG749E cordless mower is not only self-propelled, but also offers variable speed. If you’ve never used a WORX tool before, then let me be the first to tell you that the quality and performance come highly recommended; not just by me but by millions of people around the world.

I personally use the smaller WORX WG779E.2 and would not have recommended any WORX mower for larger lawns, but with this WORX WG749E that could be about to change.

With the WG749E, you are getting an enormous amount of power in a surprisingly lightweight body and a very decent 46cm cutting width. Self-propelled cordless models are typically a little weightier, but this one handles beautifully. Moreover, it delivers an immaculate cut right up to the edge of the lawn.

For fans of the WORX range, you’ll be pleased to know that you’ll receive two 4.0Ah 18v batteries with this model that can be power shared, and a very convenient charging system. There is the option to mulch or cut and collect as well as 7, yes 7, cutting heights making this a rather diverse machine.

Main Features

  • 46cm cutting width
  • Self-propelled with variable speed
  • Ideal for larger lawns up to 500m²
  • Power shareable batteries
  • Brushless motor
  • 7 cutting heights – 20mm to 80mm
  • Mulching plug included
  • Safety key provided
  • Larger rear wheels for stability
  • Folding, lightweight handle
  • Up to 3 years warranty

Conclusion

I was a little more than excited to review this latest WG749E mower from WORX and I wasn’t disappointed. Being the brand’s very first self-propelled, variable speed cordless mower, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but they have surpassed themselves in terms of power, performance and convenience.

While there are not multiple collection modes, there is more than enough features for the average larger lawn and with an incredibly easy to use design, this is what the mower of the future ought to look like.

Just like the smaller WORX mower models, I can see this WORX WG749E cordless mower becoming a best seller and constantly selling out. So, if you can get your hands on one, I would do so ASAP. They can be pre ordered now or purchased after the release date in late June 2021.

Pros
  • Ideal for larger lawns up to 500m²
  • Self-propelled cordless drive
  • Variable speed control
  • Mulching and cut & collect mowing options
  • Excellent choice of 7 cutting heights
  • Power share batteries across the range of 18v tools
  • Intellicut for power saving and optimal performance
Cons
  • No side or rear discharge cutting options
  • No rear roller for striped lawn appearance
  • No grass bag indicator to know when the grass bag needs emptying

The ways in which you can mow with this self-propelled tool are endless. There are six easy to adjust cutting heights and a choice of four mowing modes. If it is versatility you are after, you won’t find much else quite as adept as the Empress 46 LI.

This lawn mower is ideally suited to larger gardens thanks to its generous 51cm cutting width. It will make light work of lawns up to 600m² but it certainly won’t be tiring work thanks to a compact and lightweight design that is fantastically easy to manoeuvre. If you would like to get to know this tool a little better, my Mountfield Empress 51 LI review will tell you all you need to know.

Main Features

  • 51cm cutting deck
  • 6 cutting heights
  • 4-in-1 cutting options - cut and collect, mulching, rear discharge & side discharge
  • 60-litre grass box
  • Power share battery sold separately
  • Up to 25 minutes run time
  • 1500w brushless motor
  • Self-propelled drive
  • 2-year warranty

Conclusion

I have been impressed by a lot of the Mountfield mowers in the past but this Mountfield Empress 51 LI really caught my attention and with so much to offer, it is little wonder. This is a robust, powerful and reliable piece of equipment that doesn’t scrimp on features. While it is missing a rear roller, has no foam on the handles and is a little tricky to fold the handles at the lower point, these are minor inconveniences when you think about everything else you are getting.

Once you have chosen your batteries and given them a charge, you’ll benefit from a nice running time and excellent operation and performance. For medium to large gardens, this is by far one of the best mowing tools on the market at the moment.

Pros
  • Self-propelled drive.
  • Great for lawns up to 600m².
  • 4 mowing options – cut and collect, mulching, side & rear discharge.
  • Hybrid grass collection box with indicator.
  • Power share batteries across the range.
  • Double hand switch and cam locks.
  • Good selection of 6 easy to change cutting heights that range from 22mm to 80mm.
  • Comes with a two year warranty (including batteries).
  • Well made machine that is durable.
Cons
  • Battery and charger not supplied (bare tool).
  • Higher initial investment required.
  • No foam on handle bars.

Right away, you will notice that this Greenworks 46cm self-propelled mower is a significantly more powerful and effective cordless lawn mower than many of the other tools on the market. Greenworks has gone above and beyond in creating a piece of gardening equipment that is built for heavy duty work, without the need for petrol fumes; let me introduce you to the Greenworks GD24X2LM46SPK4X.

This is a self-propelled lawn mower that immediately caught my eye thanks to its diversity, practicalities and longer run times. Many modern cordless mowers aren’t able to offer anywhere near as many features as this one for such a reasonable price. Ok, at more than £400, it is something of an investment but when you think about what you’re getting, you realise that it is a worthwhile one.

Main Features

  • Self-propelled drive
  • Variable speed
  • 46cm cutting width
  • 7 cutting heights
  • 4-in-1 mowing
  • 55-litre grass bag
  • Folding handles
  • Central height adjustment
  • Comes with twin charger and power share 24v batteries
  • 3-year warranty

Conclusion

Greenworks has brought us a lot of excellent tools and now into the power share range we also have the Greenworks 46cm GD24X2LM46SPK4X which is an immensely powerful and robust cordless lawn mower. While looking at the features might have you believe that this is a petrol model, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn that this eco friendly, cordless mower will deliver up to 46 minutes of cutting time.

When you pair this with the many other features that make this an amazing lawn mower, it isn’t difficult to see how it might benefit you and your garden. Of course, it will set you back a pretty penny compared to some of the less sophisticated cordless mowers but its performance is more than worth it.

Pros
  • Self-propelled cordless mower.
  • Variable speed drive.
  • 4-in-1 cutting options including cut and collect, mulching, side discharge and rear discharge.
  • Batteries are power share across the range.
  • Aluminium deck that is strong and lightweight.
  • Ideal for larger lawns up to 480m².
  • 3 year warranty
  • Excellent range of cutting heights that can easily be adjusted.
Cons
  • No rear roller for a striped lawn appearance.
  • A heavier mower at 38kg.
  • No grass box full indicator on collection bag.

If you are looking for a well built lawn mower then one of the first brands that I would always suggest would be Mountfield. The brand is owned by STIGA, so you can feel confident of the build quality, but there is a lot more to get excited about. This might be a budget lawn mower but you’d never know when you look at the impressive range of features.

The Electress 38 has a great range of cutting heights, central adjustment, excellent traction and powerful lithium ion batteries plus much more besides. I’m really excited to share the ins and outs of this product with you so let’s dive into my Mountfield Electress 38 Li review to find out more.

At the top of these is this Electress 38 Li, which is a reliable and powerful lawn mower designed for everyday use in the larger garden and will not break the bank. While it doesn’t have as many features as some of the more high end models, such as mulching or a rear roller, it does provide you with everything you need to have a nicely maintained lawn with very little effort.

While I would always suggest investing in a lawnmower if you want power and quality, this same power and quality can often be found in smaller mowers for a much more affordable cost. A prime example of this is the Mountfield Electress 30 Li which is a well-built, reliable and compact little mower ideal for smaller gardens. If you don’t want the hassle of a petrol mower but want similar power, something like this won’t disappoint.

While it may be compact, the Electress 30 Li runs on a powerful 4.0Ah STIGA battery and runs incredibly well. You might only want to cover a smaller area with this model since it is designed for lawns up to 150m² and has a shorter run time. But if you’re tackling a small patch, I couldn’t recommend much else for the job.

Main Features

  • 30cm cutting width
  • 1 x 4.0Ah STIGA battery
  • Durable polypropylene deck
  • 30-litre grass box
  • up to 20 minutes running time
  • 2-year warranty

Conclusion

The Freedom 100 series is designed for affordability and performance. This is the smallest lawn mower from the range but small is definitely mighty in this case. The Mountfield Electress 30 Li runs on a powerful battery that gives it that spring in its step that many mowers are missing.

It is perfect for gardens up to 150 square metres and comes with a choice of three cutting heights. It might not be the most diverse mower with only cut and collect but it offers you more than enough to keep the grass looking its best.

Pros
  • 30 litre grass bag is more than enough for small gardens.
  • Lightweight and compact at only 11kg.
  • Excellent traction for slippery or uneven lawns.
  • Excellent build quality.
  • Comes supplied with 1 x 4.0Ah battery and charger.
  • Batteries can be shared with other Freedom 100 Series garden tools.
Cons
  • No option to mulch the grass cuttings.
  • No central lever to adjust the limited 3 height settings.
  • No rear roller for a striped lawn appearance.
  • Limited range of other tools to share the battery (expanding in future).

While there are some drawbacks to this model, if you are looking for something quick, efficient and easy to use, then this might be worth considering.

The WORX WG730E is ideal for smaller gardens thanks to the 30cm cutting width and compact design. It also has a 30-litre grass collection box made from durable plastic, which is perfect for anything below 200m². It comes with three cutting heights, which admittedly, isn’t the most generous number, but it’s more than enough to get the job done in a reasonably versatile manner.

For what you are paying, the lack of fancy features isn’t really an issue especially when you consider that you are getting the battery and the charger in with your purchase. In my WORX WG730E review, I’ll be taking a more in-depth look at this exciting new lawn mower.

Main Features

  • 30cm cutting width
  • 3 cutting heights
  • Plastic 30-litre grass collection box
  • Safety key
  • Power share battery
  • Brushless motor
  • Cut to edge
  • Foldable padded handle

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with lawns about 200m² in size.
  • Those that want a lightweight and compact cordless lawn mower that is easy to manoeuvre.
  • People who want a smaller deck size to accommodate smaller strips of lawn.
  • Those that DON'T require mulching or rear discharge.
  • Storage is limited.
  • Do not want to spend over £200 on a mower.

Conclusion

The WORX WG730E is a lightweight, compact and nifty little lawn mower that is perfect for small spaces and people who want something budget friendly. But despite its low cost, this lawn mower is still bursting with features that make it ideal for day-to-day use. A 30cm cutting deck and cut to edge design makes tackling your small lawn almost effortless.

Yes, it may not have various mowing modes or loads of cutting heights, but what it lacks in versatility, it more than makes up for in power thanks to its 20v 4.0Ah battery and its 3500rpm. You’ll get a clean, accurate cut in very little time, allowing you to get on with more important things than gardening chores. This is a new mower for 2021 so make sure you get in quick as I have a feeling these are going to sell like the proverbial hotcakes!

 

Pros
  • 30cm cutting width ideal for small gardens
  • Lightweight at 9.3kg
  • Safety key included
  • Cut to edge deck design
  • Brushless motor
  • Power share batteries
  • 125 minute charging time

In addition to this, you are getting a range of features that make mowing so much easier. From the large grass bag, which folds away for storage to the reduced noise output for a more pleasant experience, you might finally stop seeing cutting the grass as a chore and more of an enjoyable pastime!

The Yard Force LM G46D is a lawn mower that offers everything you need to maintain a luscious lawn in a compact and (relatively) lightweight package. New for 2021, this mower is the largest in an upgraded range from the brand, which also includes smaller models with a 34cm (Yard Force LM G34A ) and 37cm (Yard Force LM G37A) deck, respectively.

However, for larger lawns, this mighty machine has a lot to offer including a self-propelled drive for ease of movement and a huge cutting width of 46cm, which is ideal for lawns up to 800m². What’s more, it comes with a power system to be reckoned with including a brushless motor and a hefty 40v 5.0Ah battery.

If you are someone who likes a little diversity when it comes to cutting the grass, then this model will likely get your attention. The Yard Force LM G46D boasts a seriously impressive cut and collect system as well as the option for side discharge and mulching (3-in-1 cutting functions). If that wasn’t enough, then it also features seven cutting heights and a steel deck to add to its versatility. There’s really nothing that has been left out with this machine and for a cordless, it could be one of the mowers that seriously rivals more robust petrol models.

Main Features

  • Self-propelled drive
  • 3-in-1 cutting options including mulching and side discharge
  • 46cm cutting width
  • Seven cutting heights, centrally adjusted
  • Rapid charging
  • Powerful 40v 5.0Ah battery that is compatible with other tools in the GR40 range
  • BoostX function for optimal power
  • Vertical storage and soft grip folding handle
  • 55 litre hybrid grass box

Conclusion

The Yard Force LM G46D is a rather impressive little lawn mower. And I use the term little lightly since, while this is a compact and easy to store machine, it certainly thinks big in terms of power. With a 5.0Ah battery, you get a better running time and even when the power runs out, you won’t have to wait an age for it to recharge. Couple this with the battery’s ability to power share and you’ve got something rather innovative. The quiet operation of the brushless motor, the efficiency of the self-propelled drive and the choice of 3-in-1 cutting features make this a pleasure to use. In fact, I found it incredibly difficult to pick out anything that I didn’t like about this lawn mower.

Pros
  • Self-propelled drive with BoostX function
  • Steel Deck
  • Large 55-litre hybrid grass box
  • Excellent for larger lawns
  • Great value & well built mower
  • Rapid charging
  • Many cutting heights
  • 3-in-1 mowing options including mulching and side discharge
  • Vertical storage and a padded folding handle
  • Comes with battery and charger which are compatible with other products in the G40v range
  • Brushless motor
  • Cuts to edge thanks to mowing combs
Cons
  • No rear roller
  • Limited range of G40v tools to share battery

A cordless mower is often seen to be not as powerful as a petrol and while that is true to an extent, there are many excellent cordless models that are beginning to seriously rival the power of petrol!

This incredible piece of kit proves that cordless models are efficient, reliable and above all, deliver a cut that leaves your lawn looking immaculate. This mower is packed with exciting features and while it doesn’t have a wide range of mowing options, it does everything else with precision and effectiveness. I have to say that I was overjoyed with what this mower had to offer in terms of ease of use. It features a lightweight and easily manoeuvrable design as well as folding handles, a choice of cutting heights and a safety key; and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

The Yard Force LM G37A is a cordless lawn mower with a difference. Where others may lack in certain areas, this delivers on most fronts and the result is a garden that is neat and well-presented. With the ability to cut right to the edge, there’s no need for additional tools and with various features to help make the user experience far better than many other battery-powered mowers, you can’t help but quickly fall in love with this handy tool.

OK, you don’t have a wealth of mowing options; it’s cut and collect and that is it, but if you don’t have complex gardening needs, this is going to be perfect. With the power of a brushless motor and the convenience of a quick-charging battery, you won’t need to set aside hours to get the garden chores done.

In summary, I’d highly recommend this cordless mower as it is affordable, yet delivers everything you would expect and then some!

The Sprint 37cm cordless mower is the smaller brother to the Sprint 44cm Lawn Mower 440P18V and is designed for owners of medium sized lawns up to 520m² that do not want to mess about with petrol or power-cords. What's the difference between these two mowers? Well, not a great deal as these two cordless mowers from Sprint are almost identical apart from a few differences detailed below.

Why a Briggs & Stratton Battery? Well, because Sprint is a brand of Briggs & Stratton. You may also notice that this Sprint mower is very similar the the Murray 37cm (IQ18WM37) cordless mower, that's because Murray is also a brand of Briggs & Stratton.

Main Features

Rating: 9.7/10
Lawn Size: Medium 425m²
Power: 1500-Watt for 45 minutes mow time
Cable Length: Cordless 18-volt 5.0 Ah lithium-ion battery
Blade Length: 37cm metal
Number of Cutting Heights: 7 (25mm to 75mm)
Grass Box Capacity: 40 L
Weight: 13.5 Kg

  • People looking for a longer warranty period (5 Years Limited Product Warranty)

Conclusion

The Sprint 37cm Cordless Lawn Mower really compares well to other brands such as Bosch and WORX in terms of build quality, performance and practicalities. As with its bigger brother, the Sprint is not the cheapest mower of this size on the market, however they are still a great value for money. You are getting a well built mower from Briggs & Stratton that delivers features, quality and performance to make mowing the lawn a breeze and more enjoyable.

Pros
  • Good run time at 45 minutes.
  • The battery is interchangeable with other Sprint cordless power tools.
  • Large 40 litre grass collection box.

The Sprint 44cm cordless mower is for owners of medium-sized lawns that do not want to mess about with petrol or power-cords. Powered by rechargeable batteries, it is compact, and every design aspect is there to make life a little easier.

So why is this mower supplied with a Briggs & Stratton batteries? It is because Sprint is a brand of Briggs & Stratton, and therefore you can be assured of the quality of not only the batteries but also the build of the mower. If you compare this mower to the Murray 44cm model (IQ18WM44), you will notice that they are almost identical.

If you want to find out just how good this Sprint mower is or if it has any limitations, continue reading this review...

Main Features

  • Lawn Size: Medium (2.5 tennis courts) 640m²
  • Power: 1500-Watt for 36 minutes mow time

  • Number of Cutting Heights: 7 (25mm to 75mm)
  • Grass Box Capacity: 50 L
  • Weight: 14 Kg (without battery)
  • Model Number: 440P18V

Conclusion

The large back wheel makes a lot of sense for a full grass-laden machine, where most of the weight will sit. These solid wheels are thick and sturdy, which takes away another potential issue that less well-made mowers may have.

Some genius design touches make this Sprint 44cm Cordless Lawn Mower less work for the operator. Being able to see the battery power reserve with a push of a button from the handles is convenient. In addition, the level indicator on the grass collection box is handy to see when it is full and needs emptying. Being supplied with a dual charger is also another time-saving feature that is missing on so many other brands.

These little details will go unnoticed in the beginning, but you would notice if they were gone. If you are into new technology and plan to build an arsenal of cordless Sprint tools, then you will not be disappointed with this very impressive lawn mower.

Hyundai are well known for their innovative approach to anything motorised and when I look at the features of their HYM40LI380P cordless lawn mower it isn’t hard to see why. What you’re getting is essentially a mid sized cutting width, best suited to small to medium sized lawns. There is younger brother, the Hyundai HYM40LI330, which has a cutting width that is 5cm smaller at 33cm. There are also 2 larger brothers with deck sizes of 42cm and 46cm, more on those later.

What’s more, this is a cordless lawn mower that is going to give you superior durability since it has been designed to withstand the elements and will not rust - when you’re putting it through its paces, you want to be sure it will measure up.

In terms of power, you won’t get anything else that is much more reliable since the battery is not only long-lasting but also super quiet, but we will look at this in a little more depth later on.

I put this mower through its paces to see if it makes a good purchase an whom it is best suited to. I carried out several tests on my lawn and created a video review so you can see this 38cm cordless mower from Hyundai in action.

Main Features

  • Ideal for small to medium-sized lawns up to 180m2
  • 38cm cutting width
  • No petrol or cables to worry about
  • Powerful 2.5Ah li-ion battery

  • Rear roller for lawn stripes
  • 40-litre grass bag
  • 3-year warranty

This mower is ideal for those that

  • People with gardens up to 500m² in size.
  • Those that require the option to mulch the cuttings.
  • People who like a nice stripey lawn.
  • Those who want the option of fast battery charge time (30 minutes) – Optional extra.
  • People who do not want the hassle of cords or petrol.
  • Those that require a larger grass collection box for less stops.

Conclusion

As far as your cordless lawn mowers go, this Hyundai HYM40LI380P is a nice little option for the dedicated gardener or anyone who wants a quick and easy way to manage their lawn.

There are a decent number of functions and features that make this piece of equipment a delight to use, and I’d certainly say that this could be a go-to mower for a lot of people. With the ability to mulch, stripe and empty the mower with ease, you’re sure to find this a pleasure to work with.

Pros
  • It’s designed to go for the long haul, especially when you consider the long-life battery that can withstand as many as 1000+ charges.
  • It has a hefty grass collection bag that can be easily removed.
  • Features a mulching plug.
  • A diverse range of cutting heights and a generous cutting width.
  • Easy and safe to start.

I would definitely back the claim that this is a really good option for a first time cordless mower since it is affordable and gives you a really good insight into the features that a good cordless mower should have. When I compare it to the slightly larger Hyundai HYM40LI380P, it isn’t hard to see why this is the preferred option for people who don’t need something quite as heavy-duty. Would I recommend this? Absolutely.

Pros
  • Perfect for small to medium lawns
  • Fast charging (30 minutes with additional fast charger)
  • Mulching plug
  • Rear roller for striped lawns

The Mountfield S42-PD LI has a huge 60 litre grass collection bag that incorporates a grass-bag full indicator, has 6 height positions ranging from 22mm to 65mm, has foldable handles and comes with a two year warranty.

Mountfield’s S42-PD is a 1300-watt self-propelled mower, with a 60-volt 4Ah lithium-ion battery. This large capacity battery gives the machine enough power to mulch through your lawn without interruption. The self-propulsion also reduces the fatigue on the operator.

Main Features

  • For Lawns of up to 800m²
  • Blade Length: 41cm (16-inch)
  • Weight: 27 Kg
  • Number of Cutting Heights: 6 (from 22mm to 65mm)
  • Grass Box Capacity: 60 L
  • Motor: 2900 RPM 1300-Watt Brushless-Motor
  • Battery: 4Ah 60-Volt Lithium-Ion 216Wh
  • Deck Noise: 90 Decibels (77 dB at the operator level)
  • Handle: Folding and Ergonomic

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with gardens up to 800 m² in size.
  • Those looking for a trusted UK brand with excellent service and support.
  • Those looking for a premium powerful battery mower with great features.
  • People looking for a genuine alternative to a petrol powered mower.
  • Those that would like the option to mulch the grass cuttings.
  • People looking for a mower that has the option to side discharge.
  • Those that like the option of rear discharge.
  • Storage is limited as handles and grass box fold flat.
  • People looking for a longer warranty period (2 years domestic on mower)

Conclusion

Mountfield also makes the S46-PD, which has the same specifications and a similar price. Except the S46-PD has a larger blade, 46 centimetres in diameter.

The S42-PD has all the best parts of a petrol mower but without the hassle, fumes and maintenance requirements that come with petrol mowers.

Petrol mowers have strong metal decks and wheels, and this cordless mower has both of those things. A petrol mower is often self-propelled with a long run-time, as does the S42-PD. And a mower that gives the options of mulching, collection, and side and rear-discharge is more than enough choices.

You will not be disappointed with this mower as it is a genuine alternative to a petrol mower. After all this is a Mountfield, a trusted pedigree lawn mower brand that prides itself in quality, innovation, and fantastic after-sales support.

Pros
  • Strong steel deck with skid plate.
  • Powerful 60-volt 4 Ah lithium-ion battery.
  • Long battery run-time.
  • The mower comes with a mulching plug.
  • Self-propelled with independent throttle control.

This mower is designed to cut nearly the size of three tennis courts, so great if you have a larger lawn. But, this mower is equally just as suitable for smaller gardens. With its foldable handles and small footprint, storage needn’t be a concern.

The quality of cut is very good and precise, the mower never seems to struggle for power. Of course you need to ensure you are not cutting too low for the conditions, and start at a higher setting and work your way down should the grass be too long.

Pros
  • Two batteries supplied for longer run time
  • Good range of 6 cutting heights from 30mm to 80mm
  • Suitable for larger lawns up to 600m²
  • The battery is interchangeable with other BLACK+DECKER 36V cordless battery tools
  • Good safety features with key start
  • Generous 38cm cutting width
  • Super easy height adjustment
  • Foam covered comfortable handles that can be folded flat for storage
  • A trusted brand with good after sales service
  • Good 2-year warranty
  • Spare parts and support readily available in the UK
  • No hassle with petrol and oil
  • Freedom of not having a cable to worry about
Cons
  • Slightly heavier than some competitors
  • No rear roller for a striped lawn
  • Grass collection box a little smaller than competitors
  • No lower cutting height option under 30mm

You may not have heard the brand Yard Force before, however their mowers have been around in the UK for many years and now have a great reputation for quality, support and value for money.

I can tell you that I was so impressed with this mower’s build quality. It felt as good as any of the Bosch mowers I have tested and the power performance seemed to match that of my highly regarded Worx WG779E.2.

There is no doubt that this mower is great value for money, and on paper looks like it can compete well with better known brands.

Main Features

  • Covers areas reaching 400m² in size
  • Fast charging 40V Samsung Lithium-Ion 2.5Ah battery
  • Blade length: 37cm
  • Weight: 15.5 kg

  • Those that want a quality lawn mower at a reasonable price.
  • Those who want good run-time (35 minutes) with a large 40L grass collection box.
  • People who want good warranty and after-sales service.

Conclusion

As mentioned above this mower, has all the features and functions you could want from a cordless battery powered lawn mower (with the exception of mulching); it is ideal for any lawn size as long as it is not too large, where a much larger deck would be more suitable.

This is a reliable and durable mower that performs exceptionally well and is competitively priced when compared to other brands. This is certainly a model to be considered.

This AdvancedRotak 36-660 is the bigger brother of the Bosch UniversalRotak 36-560 and these two new mowers from Bosch are almost identical.

Main Features

  • Covers areas reaching 650m² in size
  • Charge Time: 65 minutes
  • Free Run Time: 50 minutes (depending on conditions)
  • Battery: 36v
  • Grass Box Capacity: 50L

  • Weight: 16.5Kg

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with lawns up to 650m² in size.
  • Those who want the latest ProSilence Sound Reduction System.
  • Those that like to adjust the height of the handles to reduce backache.
  • People who like an ergonomically designed mower for increased comfort whilst mowing.

  • People that appreciate a very easy central one touch height adjustment.

  • People who require the ability to mulch the grass cuttings (optional extra).

Conclusion

Bosch have really done themselves proud with this mower. It has some great features that actually help to make mowing your lawn that bit easier and more enjoyable, not just gimmicks that add to the price. The ProSilence is my favourite feature as it allows you to mow earlier in the morning without annoying your neighbours; giving you more time in the day for you to enjoy your lawn and sip a glass of orange juice (or something a little stronger)!

The Bosch AdvancedRotak 36-660 is a large cordless mower, but the fact that it all folds down so well means it takes up the same amount of space as smaller mowers. Yes, it’s not the cheapest mower on the market, but it is a Bosch and it is packed with features that justify paying that bit more.

All in all, you will not be disappointed with this Bosch AdvancedRotak 36-660. It is an investment that will just keep giving year after year, and put a smile on your face whilst mowing.

Pros
  • ProSilence Sound Reduction System.
  • Powerful motor.
  • Cordless.
  • LeafCollect blade
  • ErgoSlide handles
  • Fold flat handles
  • A decent-sized grass box.
  • Ergonomic design.

  • This is not the cheapest cordless lawn mower on the market. (You do get what you pay for and hey, this is the Mercedes of lawn mowers, and a Bosch after all)

The Greenworks 40V Cordless Lawn Mower 35cm (14") is one of the best selling cordless lawn mowers in the UK.

The mower is indeed packed with features you would expect to see in higher end cordless mowers and certainly has the ability to cut a lawn around 300 meters square (roughly slightly larger than the size of a tennis court).

Main Features

  • Covers areas up to 300m² in size per battery
  • 1 x 40V, 2Ah Li-on battery (optional second 40V, 2Ah battery)
  • Blade length: 35 cm
  • Number of Cutting Height: 5 (20mm-80mm)
  • Grass box capacity: 40 litre
  • Charge time: impressive 30 minutes
  • Free run time: 30 minutes per 2Ah battery
  • Mulching option

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with lawns up to 300m² in size.
  • Those who require a quick battery charge time (30mins).
  • People who want a battery that is interchangeable with other Greenworks garden tools.
  • Those who want the option to mulch and cut grass with the same mower.
  • Those who require a medium size cutting deck (35cm) that can work efficiently in small, medium and large gardens.
  • People who want a large grass collection box (40L) to reduce the amount of stops.
  • People who have limited storage as this mower is compact with folding handles.

Conclusion

Overall this is a very good mower, I actually rate it very slightly higher than the Flymo Mighti-Mo 300 Li due to its portability, good build quality, slightly larger deck size, faster charge time and above all great value for money.

The extra features like the removable safety key is a nice touch but one that you will most probably never use. Besides you want features that will help you achieve a lovely looking lawn with least amount of work and effort.

The  Greenworks 40V is very proficient at cutting varying lengths and thickness of grass for such a lightweight cordless mower this is very impressive. It’s worth mentioning that by cutting more regularly and avoiding very long or wet grass this should avoid putting too much strain on the battery. Remember to always keep the battery charged and stored in a dry place over winter.

With this mower you’re getting features normally found in high priced cordless mowers, so this is a very reasonable price for such a well performing, durable and reliable lawn mover.

But do I think it’s better than its closest competitors? Yes I do!

Pros
  • Mulching Facility
  • Battery is Interchangeable with Other Greenworks Tools
  • 40 Litre Grass Box
  • Number of Cutting Height: 5 (20mm-80mm)
  • Impressive 30 minutes Charge Time
Cons
  • No Rear Roller for a Striped Lawn Appearance

The Greenworks Dual Blade Lawn Mower 49 cm (19″) is indeed packed with features you would expect to see in higher end cordless mowers and certainly has the ability to cut a lawn up to 800 meters square with the 4Ah power batteries (roughly the size of 3 tennis courts).

Main Features

  • Covers areas up to 800 m² in size
  • 2 batteries –   2 x 40V, 2Ah (400 m²)

  • People who want a battery that is interchangeable with other Greenworks garden tools.
  • People who like the convenience of not having to switch the batteries, as this will be done automatically.
  • Those who want the peace of mind of having a 4 year Manufacturer’s warranty.

Conclusion

The Greenworks 40V Cordless 49cm offers great value for money and you would be very hard pressed to find a cordless mower that performs this well and has such a good build quality for this price. To get the best out of this mower you will need to cut your lawn more regularly and not let the grass grow too high or dense as it may struggle a little, this is however common with all cordless mowers at this price point and specification.

Overall, I think this is a fantastic mower and I encourage everyone with a larger garden to purchase one. In fact, I think it’s one of the best cordless mowers at this price point and deck size you can get right now.

 

 

Pros
  • Mulching, Rear Bagging and Rear Discharge Facility
  • Up to 70 Minutes of Run Time
  • Battery is Interchangeable with Other Greenworks Tools

The Flymo Mighti-Mo 300 Li Cordless Battery lawn mower is one of the best selling cordless lawn mowers in the UK for small lawns. It has the ability to cut a lawn up to 250 meters square (roughly the size of a tennis court).

Main Features

  • Covers areas reaching 250m² in size
  • 40V, 2Ah Li-on battery lawnmower
  • Blade length: 30 cm
  • Number of Cutting Height: 5 (25mm-65mm)
  • Grass box capacity: 30 L
  • Charge time: 120 minutes
  • Free run time: 25 minutes

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with lawns up to 250m² in size.
  • Those who require a narrow cutting width (30cm).
  • People with lawns that are split into different areas, with smaller strips of lawn.
  • People who require a light-weight easy to manoeuvre cordless mower.
  • Those who have limited storage space.
  • Those who want a well known brand that is excellent value for money under £250.

Conclusion

Well, in terms of functionality it's not quite as good as the WORX WG776E. What is outstanding about this mower is the price and value for money. This cordless mower is currently priced at around £200 which is similar price to that of the WORX, that makes the Flymo a genuine option when choosing a cordless mower. To be honest they both cut equally as good as each other, so if you can live with the longer charge times and a few functions missing (that you will most probably not need anyway) then please consider this mower seriously.

Overall, I think this is a fantastic mower that has a good build quality and I would encourage everyone with a garden under 250 m² to consider purchasing one. In fact, I think it's the best value mower you can purchase right now.

Pros
  • Narrow Cutting Width
  • Light Weight (9.4 KG)
  • 30 Litre Grass Box
  • Safety Key

Cons

The Bosch Rotak 32 LI Ergo-Flex Cordless lawn mower is quite easily the most feature rich, high quality model currently on the market.

I would say that it competes very well with the likes of the Flymo Mighti-Mo 300 and the WORX WG779E.2. They are all very similar in terms of deck size and cover a similar amount of ground, but are they all as good as each other?

By the end of this review you will know exactly which one is the perfect mower for your garden.

The Bosch Rotak 32 LI Ergo-Flex is indeed packed with features found in more higher end cordless mowers and certainly has the ability to cut a lawn up to 300 metres square (roughly a little larger than the size of a tennis court), but it needs to be compared to its nearest rival, the Flymo Mighti-Mo 300, to judge how good this mower really is.

This mower is built in the UK. Why does this matter? Well, customer service, warranty, quality and the availability of spare parts are second to none.

Below I’ll be detailing all the features and functions of the Bosch Rotak 32 LI Ergo-Flex, both good and not so good and then comparing to the Flymo Mighti-Mo 300 so you understand exactly what you’re getting for your money.

Main Features

  • Covers areas reaching 300m² in size
  • 36-volt/2.6 Ah lithium-ion battery
  • Blade length: 32 cm
  • Roller for stripey lawn
  • Weight: 10.2 kg
  • Number of Cutting Height: 3 (30mm – 60mm)
  • Grass box capacity: 31 L
  • Charge time: 90 minutes (80% charge in only 45 minutes)
  • Free run time: 30 minutes

This Mower Is Suitable For

  • People with gardens up to 300m² in size.
  • People who like a stripey lawn as it is supplied with a rear roller.
  • People who want a smaller deck size to accommodate smaller strips of lawn.
  • Those who like a light weight mower that has a good build quality.
  • People with garden split up into different areas, with smaller strips of lawn.
  • Storage is limited.

Conclusion

At this price range, this really gives great value for money and you would be very hard pressed to find a cordless mower that performs this well and has such a good build quality for this price. To get the best out of this mower you will need to cut your lawn more regularly and not let the grass grow too high or dense as it may struggle to cut it, this is however common with all cordless mowers at this price point and specification.

Cordless lawn mowers come in a range of voltages. If you have a smaller and easier to maintain lawn, then you might only need a low voltage mower whereas a big lawn would require something higher. The higher the voltage (combined with Ah), the more power and longer the mower will run for, and the more ground you will be able to cover before the battery needs to be recharged. It’s also important to compare the Ah of the battery as well as this tells you a lot about the running time; again, the higher the number, the longer the battery will last. Just remember, the higher the Ah of a battery the greater the cost.

Most cordless lawn mowers will have a running time between 20 and 60 minutes. This largely depends on the capacity of the battery (Ah), but many also come with a second battery. On some models, both batteries are placed into the mower and once the power from one is drained, the mower will begin taking power from the second battery. The more challenging the grass is to cut, the shorter the runtime will be. It’s important to choose a cordless mower with a running time (and deck size) that is consistent with the size of your lawn.

What Features Make A Good Cordless Lawn Mower?

It is not only the battery that can make or break a cordless lawn mower, there are many other features that you should take into account, such as deck size, rear roller, mulching, discharge options, battery charging and ease of use, build quality etc. To help you out take a look at my article – What Makes a Good Cordless Mower.

Can You Get A Self-Propelled Cordless Lawn Mower?

Yes. While it used to only be petrol lawn mowers that were self-propelled, it is not uncommon for modern cordless mowers to have this feature. This is ideal if you would otherwise struggle to move the mower around the garden, but it’s also worth keeping in mind that most models are pretty lightweight. Furthermore, a self-propelled cordless mower will cost more money as it will require more powerful batteries.
