FAQ
Should I choose a petrol or battery lawn mower?
The best choice depends on the size of your lawn, how regularly you mow and the type of grass you need to cut. Battery mowers are quiet, easy to start and require less routine maintenance, making them an excellent option for many suburban lawns. Petrol mowers provide continuous running time and are often well suited to larger properties, tougher conditions or grass that is allowed to grow longer between cuts.
What size lawn is suitable for a push mower?
Push mowers are suitable for everything from small suburban lawns through to quite large lawn areas, depending on the mower you choose. For smaller lawns, a lightweight battery mower with a narrower deck can be easy to manoeuvre. Larger lawns generally benefit from a wider cutting deck, greater battery capacity or petrol power, and you may also want to consider a self-propelled model to reduce the effort required.
Should I buy a push mower or a self-propelled mower?
A standard push mower relies on you to move the mower forward and is often ideal for smaller, relatively flat lawns. A self-propelled mower drives its own wheels, so you mainly guide it rather than push its full weight. This can make mowing much easier on larger lawns, sloping ground or properties where manoeuvring a heavier mower would otherwise be tiring.
What cutting width should I choose for my lawn mower?
A wider cutting deck covers more grass with each pass and can reduce mowing time on larger, open lawns. A narrower mower is generally lighter and easier to manoeuvre through gates, around garden beds and in confined areas. As a guide, choose the widest deck that still suits the access points and obstacles around your property rather than choosing width purely for speed.
Should I choose a mower that catches, mulches or discharges grass?
That depends on how you prefer to maintain your lawn. Catching removes the clippings and leaves a clean finish, while mulching finely chops the grass and returns it to the lawn where it can break down naturally. Discharge can be useful when mowing longer or heavier grass where collecting all the clippings is less important. Many modern mowers provide two or even all three mowing options.
How long will a battery lawn mower run, and will I need a spare battery?
Battery runtime varies according to battery capacity, mower design, grass length and mowing conditions. Many modern battery mowers can comfortably handle a typical suburban lawn on one charge, while larger properties may require a higher-capacity battery or a second battery. If you already own compatible outdoor power equipment, choosing a mower from the same battery system can also make it easier to share batteries and chargers between tools.
Can a battery mower handle long or thick grass?
Modern battery mowers can provide very strong cutting performance, but long, dense or overgrown grass places more load on any mower and can reduce battery runtime. If your lawn is normally maintained regularly, a suitably sized battery mower can be an excellent choice. If you frequently need to tackle very heavy or overgrown grass, consider a higher-powered battery model or a petrol mower designed for more demanding conditions.
Is a steel or aluminium mower deck better?
Both materials have advantages. Steel mower decks are strong, widely used and generally offer good value, although damaged paint should be looked after to help prevent corrosion. Aluminium alloy decks are lighter and naturally resistant to rust, which can make the mower easier to manoeuvre and particularly attractive in damp or coastal environments. The best choice depends on the mower's intended use, weight and durability requirements.
What type of lawn mower is best for slopes or uneven ground?
For sloping or uneven lawns, look for a mower that is easy to control and manoeuvre, with suitable wheels and good traction. A self-propelled mower can substantially reduce the effort required on inclines or larger uneven areas. Mower weight, wheel design and the condition of the ground also matter, so the best model will depend on the particular terrain you need to mow.
Why are servicing, spare parts and battery availability important when choosing a mower?
A good lawn mower can provide many years of service, so ongoing support is worth considering before you buy. Access to replacement blades, filters, cables, wheels, batteries and other parts makes maintenance and repairs much easier. With battery mowers, it is also worth considering whether compatible batteries and chargers are likely to remain readily available and whether the same battery system can power other garden equipment.
