Customer Reviews

Proof that the simplest solutions are the best
I bought this to replace a broken flymo. Actually that is not quite true I bought a small flymo to replace a flymo that had broken but that was so bad and inadequate that it was bought tried and returned for a refund in a single afternoon. After that I bought this to replace the electric mower and it is a revelation to use one of these. Most people will probably assume that any powered solution must automatically be better but this proves otherwise.

Unless you have a large lawn this is far less work than trying to use any small powered mower. It's lighter to move around the garden, the grass cuttings are small enough that they can be left on the lawn without problems and there are no problems with cables getting in the way. Are there any problems with this? well none that you wouldn't have with a powered lawn mower, the only problem I have found is a tendency to clog on the first cut of the year but I've found that with every lawn mower I've ever used.

Above all this has one major virtue that no other lawn mower has - it is so simple that the chance of it's breaking is so low as to be negligible and if anything does go wrong then you can fix it yourself.

Unless you have a large lawn then I would recommend to anyone that they ditch the power mowers and get one of these.

Qualcast Panther 30
For my 100 foot x 12 foot lawn, this hand mower is actually quicker than the hover mower it replaced. No fiddling with cables.

It's also no extra effort than the hover, which I wasn't expecting.

fun grass cutting exercise
I am very pleased with this inexpensive hand lawnmower. I prefer the hands-on experience of non-technological mowing but some manual mowers can be flimsy and impractical. This mower is functional and provides a good grass-cutting result and a decent workout without exasperating you with poor performance. When this one wears out I will be after another! A good buy if you don't like depending on electrickery!
