MX 24V 34cm Cordless Lawnmower Plus Spare Battery, MX 24V 4.0Ah Lithium Ion Battery and Fast Charger - With Rear Roller (34cm Mower)

Bit of a prequel: I do a lot of mowing and originally bought a Flymo cordless four years ago. The brick of a battery took some persuasion to lock in and, quickly, the battery terminals bent. Replaced by Flymo, the machine was good but , last August, same battery problem. I gave the machine away to someone who reckoned they could fix it. I then bought the 'new ' Flymo as they looked like they'd fixed the battery issue (2 easy fitting smaller units). Only it seemed the 'battery dept' had now worked on the body - tinny, too light and full of problems. To adjust the height, you had to manoeuvre each wheel out of its spring onto a different setting. Of the 3 heights, the highest didn't engage the roller and the lowest made the whole body scrape along the ground - grass looked scalped. The collection bin was so angled, it spilt clippings every time you took the basket off and it meant the bin never filled as all the clippings fell to the front. Then I found the batteries lasted about 15 minutes and took three hours to show a full charge. After a lot of arguing with Flymo/Husqvarna they sent me one spare battery (bear in mind batteries were selling for £70-100 each). Yeah, that won't work. So they sent another. No note, no apology, just a battery. OK, whatever, at least it meant I could do all the mowing without having to rush it, despite the machines other faults. Coming out of winter hibernation in its recommended "cool and dry " setting, 3 of 4 batteries completely dead and un-chargeable. Argument ongoing. So I needed another machine and faced the big matrix of cost/reviews/battery life/ cost of spare battery and even the height adjustment + bin level. By chance, at the end of my search I came across this one and what caught my eye was the spare battery they supply. First use done and very impressed - reassuringly weighty - five height adjustments from a simple lever - roller engages at all levels - done all front and back lawns on one battery. There is a charge light on the battery but haven't checked it. - the blade is super sharp and gives a good cut - the collection bin is not only level, there's a clever little flap top right which bounces open on air flow. No bounce means the bin is full. No leaking on extraction either. - generous top flap on bin means you can deposit the odd found item inside without taking the bin off - the machine is very quiet - easy to assemble, although the picture instructions are small and look awkward - the battery is easy to clip in and there's a better safety feature in a pronged key on a tied thread. Much safer to see the key is out rather than the Flymo turn off/on against symbols you can't easily see. Couple of iffy points, one is nothing, other being addressed - for some reason the collection bin has ventilation holes in the bottom, meaning bits fall out, especially when tidying up with the loose bin on the paving. - there's nothing in the box about a guarantee (e mail to supplier) So , all in all, very impressed with this smart efficient mower and the only one I've seen with a spare battery (again, most other machines offer a spare one for about £90)

Received it this morning and like a kid at Xmas had to give it a go. Easy assembly; light and portable; yes it’s plastic but seems quite sturdy it’s not meant to be chucked around the garden obviously. Cut was clean and fuss free, slight annoyance the grass basket has two small areas that leave a few grass cuttings out but I can live with that. All in all a great mower for our small gardens - front and back where cut with ease and still plenty of battery life even though we used the battery without charging it firstly out of the box. Well done all round!

Don't normally get enthusiastic about a lawnmower. Having had many over the last 40 plus years, this is really good. Lightweight and easy to manage, the cutting height is marked in mm, not just 3 or 4 settings. One simple lever does it all. Cut my 2 50sq metre lawns on one charge. Oh and there's 2 batteries so if you did run out of charge just swap it for the other. It doesn't have a battery indicator easily accessible during use however it's got 2 batteries. Lightweight and easy to store, unlike a petrol mower, can be stored in any orientation, even light enough to hang on the wall. The only negative is that the handle could have a quick release folding mechanism. You have to undo the wingnuts to fold down the handle. Grassbox is good with an indicator when full. Really very good and excellent value.

Bought in March to be ready to tackle my new home's much larger garden. Takes just 2 or 3 minutes to assemble the handles and grass collector. Comes with 2 batteries and charged both to full before my first mow. When empty, batteries take about 60 mins to charge. First mow of season with height selector a notch from the top went very well. Cuts very well and I prefer to mulch, so this mower is perfect as it comes with mulching plug. Managed front garden of 10m x 4m and back garden of 30m x 15m on just one battery. The mower has a roller for stripes and it munches very well. I have now used for a full season and very impressed.

This lawnmower is perfect in so many ways. It cuts the grass well, no leads which is so much easier. I found it light and portable, doesn't make you feel like your having to keep up with it. Quite the reverse, I can cut my grass with ease, I love the mulcher, I have quite a big garden and it doesn't feel like a chore when cutting the grass anymore. Having an extra battery is just perfect for me. My only slight moan is the two little orange handles you have to keep hold of when using the machine, I don't have a good grip with my hands as I have quite a lot of pain in my hands. Seriously thou, I love this machine. So much easier than a petrol mower for me.

Brilliant bit of kit. Cuts grass well on all levels of cut. Having 2 batteries is so useful. It collapses well and takes up very little space.

Bought this last week to replace a very disappointing Murray Cordless mower which died on me after less than 4 years use, bearing in mind that for 6 months of each year (Nov to March) it isn't used. First impression is very good. It is light, maneuverable, cuts superbly and is excellent for my small lawns. Two batteries means I will never run out of power as one battery will easily do my two lawns. My only very minor suggestion would be that it should have a quick-release mechanism on the folding handle so it could be stowed more easily. Some of the plastic seems a little thin on the starting handle but time will tell if it lasts. Same with the batteries, not as robust with the moulding as say Dewalt or Murray but they work fine so far. Overall for the price this is a great little mower and I am pleased to recommend it.
