The 24V battery and charging unit is included in the box delivery and it has side combs to allow it to mow extra close to boundary walls which reduces the level of trimming you need to do when the mowing is complete. It comes with a brushless motor which gives better efficiency, performance and longevity and there are 5 different mow height settings that can be adjusted using a single lever. Fortunately, its flimsiness is the only real downside to this mower, given what it costs. The handle height can be easily adjusted, ensuring that the mower is comfortable to use no matter how tall you are. In addition, if you wish, you can choose to buy this using a credit card plan with Argos where the overall cost can be spread over 6 months instead of having to pay for it all up front plus you get a 3 year warranty

Unfortunately, the single battery supplied with my refurbished machine was faulty and will only partly charge giving only ab out 8 minutes use. This renders the mower pretty useless for all but the smallest of lawns.Other features of this electric rotary mower are its seven different cutting heights ranging from 2.5cm to 7cm and a rear roller for making stripes in your garden. This mower only weighs 18.5 kg too for comfortable mowing. The main downside to this mower is how flimsy it is. The majority of the mower is made of plastic, and it doesn’t feel very sturdy, especially around the grass collector. The battery LED lights is a great feature to have as you always know in advance when the battery is near depletion and when you need to start recharging it once again. If you need a slightly larger corded lawn mower, this option with a 37cm cutting width is worth looking at. If your lawn is quite a distance from your house, then a cable or extension cord would be far too difficult to manage, so you are far better off using a cordless model instead. It would be great if these mowers offered a mulching plug or side discharge option though, but we didn’t really miss these features anyway as the grass collection is so good. Larger Lawns

This depends on the size of your garden, for medium and small gardens a cutting width of up to 38cm would be enough, for larger gardens choose a mower that has a width of 40cm and above. This will save you considerable time when mowing. Please be aware that if you are seeking the lowest possible price, then you should skip the 34cm cordless and go for the 34cm corded lawnmower instead as it works just as well in our opinion – the only thing you are limited to though are the cables, cords and possible additional extension cords. A built-in rear roller that helps you achieve a precise, professional striped finish on your lawn. With a 35L grass collection hybrid bag. The collection bag has a grass full indicator, which will tell you when you need to stop and empty it.That's all the good stuff unfortunately. The grass bag is not easy to remove and refit in the correct slots. The roller is flimsy and doesn't give much striping effect. The handle is quite long, so more difficult to guide. I suspect even a good fully charged battery only lasts about 15 minutes cutting, so you definitely need two fully charged to do a decent sized lawn.

As the weight is less than 12.5kg, it makes it so much easier to push this machine around your garden and even to push it up slopes or around uneven ground is a doddle Assembly instructions could have better images and better laid out steps but is fairly manageable all the same There is also a comfortable soft grip handle, a rear roller for generating mow stripes, a safety switch as standard and it is lightweight to use at just 12.2kg This little machine has won awards for the Best buy which certainly goes a long way when choosing a lawn mower for smaller gardens

Making Gardening more enjoyable

This mower also has a smaller grass bag which will limit how far you can mow without having to empty it. The grass collection unit works really well to leave a nice tidy finish and the built-in rear roller helps to leave an eye-catching striped finish once the job is done. Overall, we would recommend if you are looking for a reliable mower that can cut a variety of grass heights and extensive sized gardens, you should go for an alternate model such as the Advance Rotak 650 Bosch mower or the cordless 430 LI mower by Bosch, both these models offer more in terms of width and power. FAQs

The battery is a lot less powerful than others we have seen which explains the lower price level. Other batteries can be as high as 60V where this battery is only 24V. Getting additional batteries is harder than expected. Argos sell the lawn mowers but don’t sell additional batteries as well which I find hard to understand why. You need to call 0345 605 2068 to get extra batteries or a second charger I am sure there are more robust, better designed battery mowers on sale, but they can be much more expensive than this. This does a job, at least if you have a decent battery that is, but it is not really as good as i was hoping for.. Read full review

Flymo Mighti-Mo 300 Li 40V 30cm Push Mower

Since it’s not very heavy, this does affect the performance of the rear roller on this mower – it doesn’t mow great stripes. However, its weight does make the mower easy to manoeuvre though, and it’s also easy to store, especially if you need to lift it onto a shelf in your garage or shed. Unlike many other mowers, this machine has the easy fold handles which allows it to be folded away when not in use which is a whole lot easier.
