This is about the fifth one we have had. Nothing else will do for our lawn as it is big,steep, and bumpy. I think this is the cheapest price we have paid, and it seems lighter and quieter than earlier versions. The problem is that they self-destruct so soon, which is why we are on our fifth…

I have a big back garden with thick meadow type grass. The garden is always wet with poor drainage. My petrol lawnmower was heavy going and sank in to the wet soil. The hover mower is perfectly suited for this type of grass and did a good job. Don’t worry about the lack of a grass collector, you couldn’t even notice the cut grass on my lawn at all. Very good.

This product tackled a fairly large area of uneven ‘ lawn ‘ very well.

Agreeing with previous reviewers,I think it results in a neat shortish lawn ( not a bowling green effect ! ) with not too much effort. I like the 4 spacers, enabling the grass to be taken down in stages by easily adding one or more after previous cut.

With limited storage space, we would have liked the handle to fold flatter, however this fairly largeish machine stores quite easily in our hut and is light enough for we (active!)older people to lift in.

Not having a grassbox does make more work but machine would be heavier to manoevre so…..you pay your money and…you take your choice!

This mower is light, powerful and durable. I have used the model before and purchased this product to supplement my existing equipment. The only potential weakness is the starter mechanism which is quite flimsy and one needs to exercise care. The price was very competitive.
