Power System
This is a powerful 40V motor powered by a Samsung 2.5Ah Li-Ion Battery. It charges in 75 minutes and will deliver around 45 minutes of cutting time.
The power is in perfect proportion to the size of the deck and the weight of the machine making this lawnmower a top choice for small to medium lawns. It is ideal for a lawn size up to around 350m².
How does this compare to the likes of the Bosch Rotak 32 Li? Well very well, the Yard Force 34cm Cordless mower has the same battery and charge time, however the Yard Force 34cm lawnmower has Torque Sense Technology that extends the life of the battery to give run time of up to 45 minutes. The Torque Sense Technology preserves the life of the battery by only using the power required for the different lawn condition. The Bosch does have the option to charge 80% of the battery in 45 minutes, however the Yard Force will not cost as much to purchase; it could be as much as £100 cheaper than the Bosch.
Assembly
Assembly could not be easier. The instructions come with the lawnmower and are clear and detailed, although they probably need not be.
Simply adjust the handle height to suit your needs and fasten them. No tools are needed and you do everything by hand. Assembly will literally take you a minute or two. The battery will charge quickly and you will be ready to get stuck in.
Features In Detail
Blades
This Yard Force 34cm Cordless Rotary Lawnmower model has a 34cm steel blade. This is ideally suited to small to medium lawns. While it might take a few more passes to complete your mowing you will have improved precision and accuracy as well as greater manoeuvrability. It is ideal if you have twists and turns in the garden and is great if you have narrow areas as it has a smaller deck than larger models.
If you wanted an even smaller deck size than the 34cm on this mower, you could take a look at the Yard Force 32cm Cordless Rotary Lawnmower, this is an almost identical mower just with a smaller deck size.
The metal blades are sharp and efficient. They will need to be sharpened from time to time and eventually need replacing but this is easy and not expensive.
Height Adjustment
The Yard Force 34cm Cordless Rotary Lawnmower has a great 7 adjustments for cutting height that range from 25mm to 75mm. The important part is that the central height adjustment means changing the setting requires the simple movement of a lever. This range is more than enough to keep your lawn perfect throughout the year.
Compared to many other mowers, the height adjustment lever is not a problem. I have always rated mowers that can have their height adjusted from a single lever mounted in the centre of the mower. Having the lever mounted central to the mower makes the adjustment so much easier and smooth compared to mowers that have them mounted at the front or back with some even having to be adjusted on each side.
How does this compare to the Bosch? The Bosch 32 Li only has 3 height adjustments where’s the Yard Force has a very respectable 7 positions. The Yard Force has a very low 25mm position for that very close/short bowling green cut, just be careful, if your lawn is not perfectly level you could end up scalping your lawn.
Cutting Diameter
As mentioned above, this model has a 34cm cutting diameter. This size blade and cutting deck are particularly useful and practical in small and medium gardens.
It will obviously not be ideal on larger lawns but anything up to 350m² and you will be happy with the size and cutting speed. A smaller width gives you greater accuracy and makes moving around tight edges easier.
Remember, the smaller the deck size the more practical it will be in taking up less storage space. So if storage is limited this mower is ideal as it is narrow, has a fold-able grass box and the handles fold in two places making it extremely compact (the video above shows just how practical this Yard Force mower is).
Roller (Stripes)
Unusually, in this range of lawnmowers, this Yard Force 34cm Cordless Rotary Lawnmower does have a rear roller. This allows you to create that perfect and precise striped effect on your grass if you wish. These rear rollers not only give you an excellent and professional finish but also add to the stability of the lawnmower when navigating edges and corners.
Grass Box Capacity
Given the size lawn this Yard Force 34cm Cordless Rotary Lawnmower is designed for, the 35 litre hybrid grass collection bag is perfect. This keeps it light and easy to move and will make your work effortless.
It has an indicator to advise you when it is full so there is no need to keep checking. Emptying it out and reconnecting the collection bag is easy.
Two other features of the grass bag are that it is designed to compact the clippings making maximum use of the capacity and it also allows for good airflow.
The Yard Force 34cm Cordless Rotary Lawnmower does not have a solid grass box but one that has a hard top and cloth sides and base that can be folded flat.
So the advantages of this type of grass box is the minimal storage space and it is easy to assemble. The downside is the cloth sides and bottom are more prone to damage from tearing etc, however the quality material on this Yard Force mower seems very hard wearing when compared to other makes.
Practicalities
One of the many good things Yard Force are known for is practical equipment. The first thing you will appreciate when using this model, well, after the quick set-up, is the easy start. As you get going you will appreciate the comfortable soft grip handles that are ergonomically designed for maximum ease of use. The handles also fold easily for convenient storage.
The lightweight build and good design make it nifty and easy to move.
Storage
The Yard Force 34cm has a small footprint due to the width of the mower. The 4 clips on the side of the handles are quick release and allow for the top handle to be folded down and additional clips near the body of the mower allows for the lower bars to also be folded down, this is a nice feature.
Dimensions: 75 x 44 x 40.5 cm
Safety Features
Cordless lawnmowers are by their nature safer than corded or petrol options. Yard Force give detailed instructions and safety recommendations in the instruction manual, and provided that you follow these you do not need to have any safety concerns.
In order to start the lawnmower, you need to use the safety key and then hold in a safety button in order to start the machine. It also has an overload protector.
All in all, this is a very safe lawnmower to operate.
Mulching
As with most lawnmowers in this category (including the Bosch 32 Li), this model does not have a specific mulching feature. As always, you could always use grass clippings with other organic material to create a great nutrient-rich compost for your lawn as well as the flower beds.

Hi Mark what would you choose over this and the lawnMaster have read all reviews and like the idea of the 2 batteries with the lawnMaster and also the strimmer. Thanks.
Hi David
They are very similar in terms of quality and performance, and both would make a good purchase. I would go for the LawnMaster simply down to the customer service and after sales service/care/parts.
Thanks
Mark
Hi Mark, have you reviewed the 34A yet? The battery looks different but wondering if there are any other differences (your link takes you to the 34A).
Cheers.
Hi
Yes I believe they are pretty much the same in terms of features. The battery is the only difference as you spotted and is part of Yardforce’s newish GR 40 range.
I will purchase one this year and get a video review done to see how good this new range is.
