If you're new to buying a lawn mower then it might help to know that, without exception, all mowers priced under around £400-£500 are rubbish. Not one of them is actually fit for purpose, and they certainly won't make mowing grass easy. They're underpowered, poorly designed, use cheap materials, and typically just stop working at the drop of a hat. Is the grass wet? Tough luck. Mower will jam. Is the grass long? Tough luck. Mower will jam. Bumpy lawn? Tough luck. Mower will jam.So, unless you want to spent that kind of money, it becomes a matter of finding the best of what are some awful products.This one is the best of a bad lot in my experience.You will always have to have it set to the highest mowing position because the other two mowing positions will jam the blade (unless you have a 100% perfectly flat lawn—and you do not, I promise). You'll need to make this adjustment immediately because, out of the box, the mower is set to the closest mowing position. Nope. Forget about that.And after this, it's just about functional. It will not cut out and overheat like other mowers in this price range (if it does, there's a 60 second time-out during which it will not work at all).It has a metal blade, too, which feels a safer bet than plastic blades used in other mowers. You also get a spare, which is weird because you can almost certainly just sharpen the existing one.In my garden the mower seemed to cope well with things like sticks, leaves, and other detritus that it ran over, too. Again, not all mowers will cope. The power ratings of these things are bunkum, by the way. Don't think it's best to go for the highest wattage you can afford. It's just a marketing trick.The grass box is reasonably copious, and the mower will pack the trimmings in there quite densely, so you're not always emptying it every few minutes. Removing it is slightly fiddly in that you have to manually ensure no trimmings leak out the back of the mower, and then you have to manoeuvre the box through the handlebars. But it seems to do its job, and not fall off during use – which again, is not guaranteed on mowers in this price range.Do I like this mower? No. It's cheap. The people who designed it want you to know that. presumably so you'll buy the most expensive models instead. It's annoying trying to turn it around when mowing up and down, for example, because its plastic wheels are more basic than those in a soapcar derby.But it works, and seems to work work consistently, and is not too annoying. And as I've said, with mowers at this price range, you can't take any of this for granted.

Nice lightweight mower easy to move round the lawn. l find the mower cuts best if the front is slightly higher than the back.

This lawnmower will cut the grass, however keep in mind that it's small and you need to regularly cut the grass for it to do the job or you'll have to go really slow (or twice if you want to cut it in the middle setting) so it won't choke and leave blobs of grass behind.For the price it's alright, but you can notice it. The plastic grass collector box for example, while fine and I'm confident it'll keep for a few years (not as worried as other reviewers here) as it won't have to deal with a lot of grass weight, however it was slightly deformed out of the box. it'll still assemble fine but it's something that just points to this being a cheap lawnmower.The lawnmower assembly it self is so simple you don't even need the instructions, there are not many parts and it's quite obvious where all the parts should go. I like that I could install the handle a bit higher as being tall due to the 2 holes in the pole.It also doesn't do any mulching, though you can use it on really tall grass perfectly fine if you use the top part of the box without the bottom to cut it, then a grass fork to collect the tall grass or just go over it again but with the grass box assembled.First 2 times I used it I set it on the highest setting and it was doing fine, though had to mentally adjust to it being a relatively small lawnmower (coming from years of petrol lawnmower that was probably 1.7x as wide).3rd time I decided to put it on the middle setting but this resulted in it getting bogged down quite a bit, not entirely sure if this was due to the slight bumps in the grass or just the 2mm extra grass to feed into the box. but I pushed on slowly, then when I was finished I had to go over it one more time just to ensure all the grass was picked up to prevent mushroom growth.4th time I used it I put it back on the highest setting and it worked perfectly fine, however I noticed a sound coming from the machine, turns out the plastic side was getting nicked by the blade when I lift the machine (such that 2 of the wheels still touch the grass) to make a turn.I've now stored the machine upright with a bit of pressure to deform the plastic away from the blade.Another slight downside (or upside) the machine isn't heavy, infect it's so light it barely leaves a mark on the grass to use as a guiding line to keep only use 30-40% of the machine with.I'll probably be contacting amazon on the blade nicking the side of the machine if it still does it on it's 5th outing after my attempted intervention. And I'll probably be going for a slightly larger diameter blade because 32 cm is quite small and 160 sqm takes me almost just as long as 500sqm took me with my old much wider petrol machine.But overall it does what it needs to do, and is definitely good enough considering the price. It also doesn't have as much up keep as a petrol, and is much friendlier on the wallet in purchase, use and when the time comes to replace.

Takes no to much place for storage work perfit, easily you can get machine ready when you want cut grass not to many screws needed to unfold

Good lawnmower for a woman to handle
