Oliver Parsons, GardenersWorld.com<\/em><\/p>\n View Affiliate Playlist on the source website<\/a><\/p>\n RRP: <\/strong>\u00a3349 Our rating:<\/strong> 4.9 out of 5<\/p>\n Available from Husqvarna<\/a><\/p>\n Pros<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n Part of the new Husqvarna Aspire cordless range, which includes a hedge trimmer, pruner and leaf blower, this 34cm mower is powered by an 18V POWER FOR ALL ALLIANCE battery and charger. These are interchangeable with tools in other leading brands such as Flymo, Gardena and Bosch, so if you also invest in tools in these ranges, you\u2019ll only need to buy the bare tool and won\u2019t have different batteries and chargers taking up space in the shed.<\/p>\n Great for small gardens, the mower comes ready to go; there\u2019s no assembly or handles to attach, and it folds down to a compact size when you\u2019re finished, with a telescopic handle that folds completely flat over the body of the mower. It can then be stood up against a wall or hung up, and it even comes with a handy hook. The 30-litre grass bag also flattens down to take up very little room and can be hung on the mower. The Aspire is light, with a carry handle so that lifting it up steps or into other areas is easy, and it has an adjustable handle to suit different heights.<\/p>\n It\u2019s comfortable and easy to manoeuvre around the garden and has just four cutting heights to choose from, ranging from 25-65mm and changed easily with a single lever on the body of the mower. It cuts grass quietly and smoothly and has an automatic boost that increases blade speed when you\u2019re mowing in tougher, longer areas, which works well. You can hear it kick in when you push the mower into longer grass, and unlike other cordless mowers that can cut out, it just carries on cutting the grass.<\/p>\n While you mow, the battery charge level is always clearly visible, so you know how much battery you have left and when it needs charging. It comes with a two-year warranty, and we awarded it a BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine<\/em> Best Buy in 2023 for ease of use.<\/p>\n Specs:<\/strong> Battery: charge time – 95 mins; area cut in one charge – 500 sq. metres. Cutting: width – 34cm; height – 25-65mm. Grass box – 30 litres.<\/p>\n Buy the Husqvarna Aspire LC34P4A from B&Q<\/a> and Husqvarna<\/a><\/p>\n undefined<\/a><\/p>\n RRP:<\/strong> \u00a3279.99<\/p>\n Our rating:<\/strong> 4.8\/5<\/p>\n Available from Marshalls<\/a><\/p>\n Pros<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n Easy to put together, this mower just needs the handle attached, and the 50L fabric grass bag has already been assembled. There\u2019s a choice of three handle heights, and it double-folds snugly over the mower, so it takes up very little space in storage. The two 20V 4Ah batteries have a charge indicator on the end, and although there\u2019s no way of seeing this when the mower\u2019s in use, the approximately 60-minute run time means there\u2019s time to finish cutting most small to medium lawns. The handle is padded for comfort, and this mower is smooth and easy to push, even over longer, bumpier lawns.<\/p>\n It cut very well in our test and the six heights of cut, from 25-75mm are easy to adjust with a single lever. At 96dB, the mower is reasonably quiet, and we awarded it a BBC Gardeners\u2019 World Magazine<\/em> Best Buy for ease of use. It also feels durable and sturdy, with spare parts readily available from Webb, and it comes with a three-year warranty.<\/p>\n Buy the Webb Eco WEV20X2LM43B4X 40V cordless mower from Amazon<\/a>, Marshalls<\/a>\u00a0and Wickes<\/a><\/p>\n undefined<\/a><\/p>\n RRP: <\/strong>\u00a3199.99 (with 2Ah battery)<\/p>\n Our rating:<\/strong> 4.5 out of 5<\/p>\n Available from B&Q<\/a><\/p>\n Pros<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n Ideal for smaller gardens, this sturdy, great-value cordless mower is easy to put together, well thought out and simple to use. Thanks to a padded handle, it’s comfortable to push, although it did feel a little short for our taller tester, and it’s light and easy to manoeuvre around trees and beds and borders. There are five cutting heights to choose from, adjusted with the simple lift of a lever, and it offers the choice of collecting clippings in the 30-litre fabric grass bag or inserting the mulching plug and leaving them on the lawn to break down and feed the grass.<\/p>\n It mows well but doesn’t like very long grass, with the battery cutting out occasionally, but its long-lasting brushless motor offers a decent run time of 46 minutes, and it charges in two hours. Plus, as part of the Greenworks 24V family, both the battery and charger are interchangeable with all the other tools in the range, saving you money if you invest in more in the future. We awarded it a BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine<\/em> Best Buy for the best budget cordless mower in 2023.<\/p>\n Specs:<\/strong> Battery: charge time – 120 mins; run time – 46 mins. Cutting: width – 33cm; height – 25-70mm.

It even stands up vertically, taking up much less space than most. It requires two 20V 4Ah PowerShare batteries, which give a 40-minute run time, and the battery power level is clearly visible while you mow. The batteries and the charger are also interchangeable with all other Worx PowerShare tools. It offers seven cutting heights, 20-80mm, which are easy to adjust with a simple lever. It also has a cutting width of 46cm, making it ideal for medium-sized lawns.<\/p>\n The mower has a simple speed control, plus it adjusts its cutting power according to grass length and conditions, which helps save on battery. It has a safety key and a 55-litre collection bag so there’s plenty of room for the cuttings, but there’s also a mulching option so you can choose to let the cuttings fall back on the lawn to feed the grass rather than worry about emptying the bag. Considering the wealth of features this mower offers, it’s a great-value option. It has a warranty of three years, plus two more if registered, and we awarded it a BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine<\/em> Best Buy for the best value self-propelled mower.<\/p>\n Buy the Worx Nitro WG749 from\u00a0Donaghy Bros<\/a><\/p>\n undefined<\/a><\/p>\n RRP:<\/strong> \u00a3619<\/p>\n Our rating:<\/strong> 4.5 out of 5<\/p>\n Available from Just Lawnmowers<\/a><\/p>\n Pros<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n This is a well-thought-out mower that requires no assembly, so you can get mowing almost as soon as it arrives. It has a quick-release, telescopic handle, which offers a bespoke handle height and also makes it very easy to compact down and store. Once folded, it can also be stood up vertically, helping it take up even less space in storage.

It runs on a 56V battery, which can mow 300 sq. metres on a single charge, and is compatible with other Ego Power+ tools. The battery level is also clearly visible whilst you mow.

The mono handle allows for easy access to the grass box but also adjusts in height and can be folded flat over the mower, making it easier to store. When folded, the mower can also be stood up vertically, helping it take up even less room in the shed or garage. It lacks a safety key but has other good features, including speed control and a mulching option that’s as simple as a flick of a switch. It has a cutting width of 46cm and offers a wide range of five cutting heights, from 15-60mm, so you can get a neat, tight clip.

It’s also compatible with all Stihl AK cordless tools, saving you money if you invest in the future. It comes with a two-year warranty, and we awarded it a BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine<\/em> Best Buy for the best self-propelled mower for larger lawns.<\/p>\n Buy the Stihl RMA 448 RV rear roller cordless mower from Just Lawnmowers<\/a><\/p>\n undefined<\/a><\/p>\n RRP:<\/strong> \u00a3129<\/p>\n Our rating:<\/strong> 4.5\/5<\/p>\n Available from B&Q<\/a><\/p>\n Pros<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n This sturdy electric mower feels robust and has a wide cutting width of 38cm, helping you mow the grass quickly, with fewer passes up and down the lawn.

It has a long 15m cable, which should reduce the need for an extension lead. Only its black colour and lack of cable safety clip let it down.

It\u2019s also lightweight and comfortable to manoeuvre. Our only quibble is the black mower cable, which could be a brighter colour so it’s easier to see.
