Great mower

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 11, 2023

Loved it so much I got my mum one... Its a great mower for a decent price, so much so I bought it twice...

Easy to use and does a great job.

Grass box felt a bit flimsy at first when building it but once its clipped together its sturdy and holds quite a lot..

Big wheels and sharp blade. Couple of different settings for grass length, I prefer the middle one. Cuts with easy no problem at all...

Has a long extention cord and a gadget on the side arm to wrap it round when you're done so it packs up nice and neat.

I really like it, does the garden so much faster than my old one and its easy to build which was a bonus.

Can definitely recommend

Great mower - frustrating assembly

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 12, 2020

My first lawnmower purchase! My garden is small so I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a mower. Grass and weeds were long and very clumped in places. Lots of negative reviews on assembly which I have to agree with - it arrives in roughly four pieces and you think ‘How hard can this be!’ But the instructions could be a lot better and easily save a lot of time with just some clear written instructions to accompany the pictures.
However... once assembled, it’s a fabulous mower. Got through my long clumpy grass with ease and coped with hidden twigs, stones etc with no stopping.
Other Reviews hilighted the grass collector as not sturdy which again is true, it’s made of lightweight plastic and during my first mow, it did keep falling off and I eventually discarded and just picked up excess grass but second mow, realised I had not attached the collector correctly (poor assembly instructions) and once I had sussed this out, it remained in tact for the whole mow, didn’t feel unstable and was full with grass - so I’m much happier with it.
It’s a small, powerful mower which is lightweight and easy to store, I don’t lower the handle for storage. For the price, I think this is excellent value for money. It cuts grass quickly, evenly and tidily.
Assembly is a pig. But once assembled - properly - no regrets at all.

Having recently moved into a house with a neglected garden I set out to my local well known DIY store to ready up for the job. This is the first mower I've bought but did so after considerable research. My garden isn't very big and I know I didn't want a petrol mower as I have flashbacks to using my dad's as a kid and what a faff that was. Whilst I was queuing to purchase the mower a 'random' in the queue said that they had one and it's "the best mower I ever had" - a promising start then.
Onto the product: Easy to assemble, took 5 mins. Agree with other reviewers that the instructions are pretty hopeless and you're better off ignoring this and applying common sense - it's only 2 screws and 2 bolts folks, it's not difficult. My only negative with this mower is the adjustment of the cutting height, it's not obvious and not convenient to adjust, the higher up models have a handle which this one doesn't so you have to manually adjust by manipulating the wheel axles into slots. The cable was long enough to get round all my garden but it's a shame there isn't a hook or something to store it more neatly. The grass box is adequate, I know some people comment on it being "plasticy", well yes it is made of plastic and yes it does clip together but it didn't fall apart every time I looked at it so I have no issues with this, I mean I certainyl don't look at it and think "Gosh I do wish the grass box was made of steel". The pick up was fine on damp grass so I'll assume it's amazing on dry grass. The grass I cut hadn't been cut since at least November 2016 so we're talking 7+inches here, I set the cutting height to highest and away I went, no issues what so ever, no jamming, no stuttering, no overheating, just easy peasy clean cut lawn.
In the pics I have included there is a before, during, after and the clippings taken would fill the box the mower came in (it was 3 full loads on highest setting)!
TL;DR Best £66 I ever spent. Perfect for smaller gardens. Ignore the moaners but if you are concerned then best to fork out for a £££ mower. . .

Cuts ok, but let down by poor design

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 12, 2024

Verified Purchase

Seems to cut grass ok. However let down in a number of areas:

Manual lacks basic detail around how to assemble. Pictures on the box do not show the fully assembled model so no help. Fortunately there are 3rd party videos on YouTube.

To start you have to depress the button, then squeeze the “trigger”. This is the opposite to every other electric mower I’ve experienced. Weird!

One sided “trigger” forces your right hand to be constantly on the handle, which makes it much harder to manoeuvre the power cord than a dual-sided “trigger” design. In addition, the power cord comes out the bottom underneath your engaged right hand, making it ever harder.

Cutting height is tricky to set - you need to do each wheel separately, the springs are very tough and and it’s not obvious which height setting each wheel is on.

Lack of handle angle adjustment makes it difficult to store hanging vertically on a wall.

Ultimately it does seem to cut grass well but I wouldn’t buy again.

It cuts grass

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 29, 2023

It's a lawnmower. It cuts grass. Therefore it does exactly what it says on the box.

If you can put it together first. The box is surprisingly smaller than you might think. Reasons. It has to be cut open along the top to get rid of the sealing tape, and then there's actual seals which need to be either cut or tugged apart. The latter with some effort.

Then the assembly begins.

There's the main body of the mower. The grass box and the handle are inside. You will have to assemble these. There are small parts in plastic bags that have to be cut open. There's a guide and instructions in English and Mandarin. There's no instruction on how to put it together bit by bit though.

So it's a challenge. If you like that sort of thing....

Look at the picture on the front of the booklet and see how the handle goes on there. From that point, you can work it out pretty easily. There are bits that need screwing. Some screws are in holders that will come undone, and do up again when put through the right hole. Screwdriver not included so have one to hand.

But in the end I got it together. And the lawnmower.

The grass box is in two parts which slot together. This is irksome. It takes a bit to get them all to slot in at the right time, but even nearly all will work fine.

You can figure out how that goes on easily enough.

The handle ends up with the on switch being on the left, which takes a bit of getting used to if you're right handed. But you don't need to hold the button down. Press it and it will keep mowing. Till pressed again. Which is a nice development in these things.

Considering this is the cheapest mower I could find on here, it's more than value for money. Because it does a very good cut. So it's good. And it's worth getting through the hurdles outlined above.

I do have some leftover screws and plastic bits though. Hope they're not vital. It works even so, so possibly not. I hope....

Bought this after breaking my old one and this is perfect for both a small piece of grass in the back garden and large front garden

Good for price

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 14, 2024

It is very easy to put together and to use as it is very light. However, because of this, the compartment where the grass goes gets filled quiet quickly and you have to change it out after a bit, so not the best if you have a big garden. If you don't mind that factor then it is a good product with good storage potential.
