The Best Lawnmowers on the Market

One man went to mow

The best lawnmowers on the market to help you keep your grass looking great.

We all love a beautifully manicured lawn, though who would have suspected there is such choice when it comes to a simple trim?

Lawnmower types

Rotary A rotary lawnmower has a single high-speed rotating blade that cuts grass with a chopping motion. It is versatile on uneven terrains and can cope with tough grass.

Cylinder While a cylinder lawnmower has multiple blades to produce a perfectionist, precise cut, it much prefers fl at, show-piece lawns, and will give a superior fi nish on neat gardens.

Battery This battery-driven top-ranker is notable for its safety aspect, namely there is no chord, but performance-wise it’s right up there with corded and fuel versions, where in the past it lacked durability and longevity.

Petrol/diesel While there is still a place for the fuel-driven lawnmower, it’s mostly in the sense of tending to large areas of land, typically ride-on vehicles.

Robot Robot mowers are certainly satisfying our love of AI and the employment of tech to make life that bit easier, with no human margin of error.

TOP PICKS: Budget

Flymo Speedimo Corded Rotary Lawnmower (around £130) With a Flymo you know what you’re going to get. Clunky and noisy, it does however come from a brand that’s renowned for performance, and the chances are your trusty cutting machine will still be going strong a decade from now.

Premium

Allett Kensington 14B Petrol Cylinder Mower (around £1,500) Built with quality, solidity and purpose in mind, the Allet Kensington won’t win any awards for aesthetics… although once it’s done its work, your lawn might!

A petrol, cylinder motor, this fl attens as it cuts, and comes with interchangeable cylinders which suit the sort of look or effect you’re aiming at.

Petrol

Stihl RM 448 Petrol Lawnmower (around £600) Self-propelling and, given it’s petrol-based, longevity guaranteed. You may fi nd you don’t need to fl ing this machine around your lawn for too long though – its hardworking, has multiple variable settings, and gets the job done with the minimum of fuss.

Best overall

Mountfi eld Princess 38Li Cordless Lawn Mower (around £400) Perfect for small- to mediumsized gardens, the Mountfi eld is also light and, of course, battery powered. It has six pre-set cutting heights and is renowned for its quiet operation.

Robot

Husqvarna Automower 405 (around £1,850) An expensive machine, but time is money, and what you invest now, you undoubtedly save in being able to pursue other things in life. The Husqvarna is quiet, effi cient and offers a brilliant fi nish.
