That’s a 25% saving on a gadget that’s racked up glowing reviews from satisfied shoppers.

The 1600W mower comes with a 37cm steel blade and smart grass collection tech, making it ideal for medium to large gardens. 

A built-in comb brushes grass into the blades, allowing you to cut right up to the edge without too much mess.

It also features an easy central height adjustment with seven cut settings ranging from 2.5cm to 7cm. 

One happy customer said: “Was easy to put together with a YouTube video as instructions not too clear. Easy to move around, love the long handle to fire it up. Larger collection bin is soo much better than my old Qualcast. Height adjustment simple, love the roar.”

Another wrote: “Purchased 3 weeks ago, best purchase made.”

A third added: “I bought this just 2 weeks ago, used twice and I love it. It’s a replacement but definitely more robust and for a similar price to previous one of which I have had two. Also guaranteed for 3 years.”

But not everyone was thrilled with their buy.

One shopper complained: “I bought this and on the 3rd time of using it, it didn’t work. Motor had completely blown. Couldn’t return as was past the date and didn’t get warranty. It’s very unfortunate as I’ve used this brand many times before.”

Another said: “I bought this lawnmower and it broke the first day I used it! I phoned customer service and they told me they would either repair, replace or refund. A week later, still no correspondence from them!”

Despite some negative feedback, the mower holds a 4.6-star rating from over 1,100 reviews – with 94% of shoppers saying they’d recommend it. 

Remember that people often feel inclined to leave a review if a product is particularly good or bad.

With spring in full swing, this could be the perfect time to upgrade your garden gear.

Remember to compare prices

It is also important to remember to always shop around when buying something like this as you might find a cheaper alternative.
