Choosing The Right Lawnmowers & Accessories

Garden size: Smaller gardens under 100m² suit 240v electric or hover mowers. Medium gardens (100-500m²) work well with self-propelled rotary models, whilst larger areas benefit from petrol-powered or ride-on machines. Robotic mowers handle designated areas autonomously once programmed.

Power source: 240v electric mowers offer quiet operation and low maintenance for gardens near power outlets. Petrol models provide unrestricted movement and greater power for long grass or challenging terrain. Battery-powered options deliver cordless convenience without emissions.

Cutting width and height adjustment: Wider cutting decks reduce mowing time on larger lawns. Multiple height settings allow adaptation to seasonal growth and grass types. Rear rollers create traditional striped finishes where desired.

Replacement parts and accessories: Regular blade sharpening or replacement maintains cutting efficiency. Keep spare drive belts, spark plugs and engine oil for routine maintenance. Grass boxes, mulching attachments and spacers enhance mower versatility.

Safety Information

Always disconnect power sources before performing maintenance or blade changes. Wear protective footwear and eye protection when operating mowers. Clear lawns of stones, toys and debris before mowing to prevent projectile hazards. Never override safety switches or guards. For petrol models, refuel outdoors when the engine is cool. Store robotic mowers according to manufacturer guidance and keep charging stations dry. Ensure children and pets remain clear of mowing areas during operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I sharpen or replace lawnmower blades?

Sharpen blades every 20-25 hours of use or at the start of each mowing season. Replace blades when they become too worn to sharpen effectively, typically after 100-200 hours depending on conditions.

What's the difference between rotary and cylinder mowers?

Rotary mowers use a horizontal spinning blade ideal for general-purpose cutting and longer grass. Cylinder mowers employ a scissor-like cutting action with multiple blades for precision cutting on fine lawns, delivering superior finish quality at lower heights.

Can I use any engine oil in my petrol lawnmower?

Use SAE 30 or 10W-30 four-stroke engine oil as specified in your manufacturer's instructions. Never use two-stroke oil unless your mower specifically requires a petrol-oil mix. Check oil levels before each use.
