Customer Reviews

Doesn't fly, mow or vac!
This is probably the worst lawnmower I have ever encountered. OK, it's cheap but that just meant that my expectations were that much lower to start with.

The mower is underpowered. A 900W mower is a typical size for a bottom of the range hover mower but with the additional weight of the grass box it just means it is unable to lift its own weight. The result is a lawnmower which has to be pushed along the ground rather than hover above it. So unless your lawn is implausibly flat you will come to a dead stop at every slightest bump. They obviously recognised that it is underpowered as there is a wheel at the back which bears some of the weight. Unortunately that wheel is so small that anything above a 1cm bump or dip is too big for it to handle.

As it has to be pushed along the ground the front edge pushes the grass flat before the blades pass over it. The result is that the blades fail to cut the now flat grass.

The grass collecting box has obviously been added as an afterthought. It is positioned behind the motor and makes the whole thing rear heavy. The result is that the whole thing is inclined to tip backwards. As soon as it does the grass box hits the ground, detaches from the mower and empties itself on the ground.

In short - buy almost anything else!

I wish I could leave no stars for this piece of cr*p
Agree with all the other reviews and won't repeat what has already been said. I'd like to add one other criticism of this useless machine - If the lawn is even slightly damp (and this includes early morning dew) the grass doesn't collect in the grass box and the wet grass accumulates underneath the machine and has to be cleared every 2 mins. The machine is far too heavy and even though my lawn is only about 20 feet by 30 feet I could't cut it in one go due to fatigue and back ache. You could cut your lawn quicker with a pair of nail scissors! I used the machine only once and then bought a Qualcast Concorde 32 which is a brilliant machine and leaves those nice stripes on your lawn as well as cutting superbly.

Cheap and not so cheerful.
Where to start, if you've a postage stamp size lawn, no stones and beautifully cultured grass complete with dead level ground this is the mower for you.

Unfortunately we all live in the real world. This mower is what it is. A cheap piece of crap. Don't waste your money the plastic blades last about five minutes if you're lucky. Then they go blunt and rip grass out rather than cut it.

It's a piece of trash. Doesn't even collect what grass it "cuts". Trust me, you'll probably do what I did; lose your temper with it and hurl it as far as you can.

Absolute waste of money, I'm seriously tempted to beat the hell out of it with something big and heavy, that's how annoying it is!
