Product Information

You are also restricted by this mowers 12-metre power cord, for a more extensive garden it would be best to use a cordless lawnmower such as the Bosch 430 LI which is powered by two 36V lithium ions. A lawnmower like this will provide much more flexibility in a more extensive garden. 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. 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.

This little machine has won awards for the Best buy which certainly goes a long way when choosing a lawn mower for smaller gardens 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. 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 last thing we liked was how tight it can mow to boundary walls and flower beds with very little trimming work needed thereafter.

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 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. 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. 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

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. This mower also has a smaller grass bag which will limit how far you can mow without having to empty it.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. 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 With the size increase also comes a larger grass bag. You get a 40 litre capacity with this mower, which is plenty for a small garden. The grass box is also easy to detatch and empty when you’re finished mowing. However, there is no mulching functionality, which it would be good to see on a mower at this price point. 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.
