Don't Buys
The Which? Don't Buy logo alerts you

areas of our tests.
Lawn edges
We rate the mower for how well it cuts up to a lawn edge. The best cut over the edge so there's no tidying up to do with a grass trimmer.
Standard grass
40-50mm grass cut to 25mm. Rated for speed, quality of finish, weight of clippings collected
Long grass
How well the mower coped with long grass (left to grow to 80mm, then cut down to 25mm), which tends to slow down cutting and clog up the blades.
Rough grass
How well the mower coped with grass left to grow into a meadow and cut only a couple of times a year
Damp grass
How well the mower coped with damp grass, which tends to slow down cutting and clog up the blades.
Ease of use
Takes account of ease of assembly and setting up, comfort of handles, manoeuvrability, carrying and emptying grass collector, storing and cleaning.
fuel efficiency
We measured how much petrol was used to cut 100 sq m of typical lawn, 5 stars under 100ml, 3 stars over 150ml
Price
For Best Buys, we give the cheapest widely available high street price. For other models, we give a guide price.
