1600W Electric Lawn Mower, 380mm Cut, 40L Catcher

This is the size most household lawns are best served by. A 380mm cut covers ground noticeably faster than a 320mm machine without becoming awkward to turn around a flowerbed or a tree, and the 40 litre catcher means fewer trips to the heap. It runs quietly off a socket with no fuel to buy and no engine to service.

The 1600 Watt motor turns the blade at 3 450rpm, which gives enough blade speed for a clean cut rather than a torn one. Torn grass tips go brown within a day or two and that is what makes a lawn look patchy after mowing. Cutting height adjusts through five positions between 25 and 75mm from one central handle, so all four wheels move together instead of being set one at a time. The 40 litre plastic catcher lifts off for emptying. A safety switch prevents accidental starting and the machine has handles and wheels for moving it and putting it away.
