Product Information

Grass is quick to become untamed and needs to be taken care of often- especially if you live in colder, rainier climates. This is because carbon steel is wear-resistant and remains sharper for longer, even if your blade width is very small.

It is a while ago since I reviewed these lawn mowers but I certainly didn’t come across this problem – it should start easily after you empty the grass collector after the first pull once you give it a strong robust pull. It's budget-friendly, does the job, has an integrated safety switch for protection, and it's corded- to ensure that you get as much runtime as needed.

The self propelled feature is so helpful with larger gardens and they are especially good around steep hills or uneven ground. It’s very manoeuvrable, partly due to its small size, but also because the wheels are quite well made.No petrol, oil, nasty fumes or maintenance costs to worry about and the noise level is a lot lower than the petrol mowers. In addition, this behaviour seemed to be more present when cutting damp grass, as we found that the machine deposited wet clumps of cut grass on the lawn. When operating around tight corners or flower beds, you should disengage the self propelling feature and operate it manually – that is what I normally do anyway for any self-propelled lawn mower. This lawnmower has an expertly designed carbon steel blades, which are amongst the best materials to use for achieving perfectly-crisp, neatly cut grass.

I spend a lot of my free time tinkering with mowers, and planning my mowing schedule for the next few weeks. Carbon steel is a preferred manufacturing material in comparison to stainless steel and is often used for high-end knives.

Nice review on the McGregor Lawn mowers as we have been using a Webb lawn mower for the past6 years and it finally gave up on us but served us well especially all the long thick weeds we get season after season. It is a small framed foldable lawnmower with a 10m long power cord so it really can only be used for the small town house type garden lawns.

Included also are the rear rollers for stripes at the back, foldable handles and it is designed for lawn sizes 120 to 150m2 on average. Not all gardens are flat and obstacle free, so we test how the mower handles uneven ground, slopes, lawn edges, and how close to wall edges you can cut.

Another disadvantage to using carbon steel in comparison to stainless steel lawnmower blades is that they can be more brittle- meaning easily fractured. It can be folded down neatly after use to fit in compact spaces and there is a 2 year guarantee as well as 4 different mowing heights. Recharging takes 1 hour only and you can expect a runtime of 20-30 minutes from the battery depending on lawn, grass and terrain conditions. I have a very busy worklife where i work from at my home office, so when i feel stressed out i go and mow the lawn but I need a piece of kit that will stand the test of time year in and year out.

Our focus for this review will be to outline the range that is currently on offer, the main features, pros and cons that you need to be aware off plus we have included several frequently asked questions that will be of interest to you. Electric/battery-powered mower types are generally lighter in weight, making them more easy to maneuvre.

This may be down to a slightly blunt blade, or it could be that it doesn't perform well with large lengths of grass.
