    • Ego LM1702E-SP 42cm (best for smaller gardens)
    • Stihl RMA 448 RV (best for larger lawns within cordless category)
    • Mountfield Electress 38Li (lightweight, compact, 38cm cutting width)
  • Hand-push reel mowers like the Gardena Comfort Hand Cylinder 400C are good for very small lawns and eco-friendly maintenance

• Medium to Large Lawns (up to about 1 acre or more):
  • Petrol mowers offer more power and longer run time, suitable for larger or tougher lawns.
  • Recommended petrol models:
    • Honda Izy HRG 416 XB (cordless petrol with 51cm cutting width)
    • Atco Quattro 16S 4 in 1 (self-propelled petrol, 41cm cutting width)
    • Stihl RM 253.3 T (self-propelled petrol, 51cm cutting width)
  • For very large lawns, consider a ride-on mower like the Ego Power+ T6 TR4204 42 in. Riding Mower , which handles hills and obstacles well and offers multiple cutting heights

• Robotic Mowers:
  • For convenience and technology enthusiasts, robotic mowers such as the Worx Landroid Vision L1300 use AI and cameras to mow up to 1300 m² without boundary wires.
  • They are premium priced but offer hands-free lawn care and smart scheduling

Other Considerations

• Power Source:
  • Petrol mowers are powerful and good for large lawns but require maintenance and fuel.
  • Electric and cordless mowers are quieter, lighter, and easier to maintain but may have limited run time.
  • Robotic mowers offer automation but at a higher cost.
• Cutting Width:
  • Larger cutting widths reduce mowing time but may be harder to maneuver in tight spaces.
  • Choose a cutting width that matches your lawn size (e.g., 34-46cm for small/medium lawns, 42cm+ for larger lawns).
• Features:
  • Self-propelled models ease mowing effort.
  • Adjustable cutting heights allow customization.
  • Mulching, bagging, and side discharge options add versatility.

Summary

• For a small to medium garden , a cordless electric mower like the Worx Nitro WG749E or Ego LM1702E-SP offers great value and ease of use.
• For larger or tougher lawns , a petrol mower such as the Honda Izy HRG 416 XB or Stihl RM 253.3 T provides power and durability.
• For very large lawns or convenience , consider a ride-on mower like the Ego Power+ T6 or a robotic mower like the Worx Landroid Vision.
• If you want a low-maintenance, eco-friendly option and your lawn is small, a hand-push reel mower is ideal.
