Overall, we would recommend if you are looking for a reliable mower that can cut a variety of grass heights and extensive sized gardens, you should go for an alternate model such as the Advance Rotak 650 Bosch mower or the cordless 430 LI mower by Bosch, both these models offer more in terms of width and power.

The roller is also included for this model to give you the striped effect and the handles can fold down for easy storage This hover lawnmower is 33cm wide 1700W and is powered by an electric cable which is 12m in length. Pros: The larger grass bag, roller added in for the striped effect, the 1700W of power and the 3 year warranty makes this lawnmower one of the best choices especially if you lawn is larger and needs a wider blade than the 32cm or 35cm. The extra width does cut down on the number of passes you need to do which saves time and the power cord of 12 mitres is longer and a safety switch is included for your added protection. This mower is more powerful than you would expect for its size and the assembly process is simple and easy to get started.

Making Gardening more enjoyable

All of the best hover mowers have several cutting height options so you can tailor your trim to your preference. Basic hover mowers may feature only one or two settings; these models are best avoided unless you know that’s all you need. The 160cc motor and 4100kW engine allows this hover mower power through rough and tough grass in hilly and bumpy yards. Its cutting height can be adjusted between 10mm and 40mm.

Power Cord Length This mower is about double the weight, and is twice as powerful, as the mower we just reviewed. It also comes with seven different cutting height settings, rather than six. However, it’s also considerably more expensive (although this mower is still cheap, relative to most of its competitors, like the Bosch Rotak 36 R).

Again – this is corded (not cordless) so you need to make sure you have a separate extension cord that will travel the length of your lawn. You are also restricted by this mowers 12-metre power cord, for a more extensive garden it would be best to use a cordless lawnmower such as the Bosch 430 LI which is powered by two 36V lithium ions. A lawnmower like this will provide much more flexibility in a more extensive garden. If on the other hand your garden is awkwardly shaped, go with a smaller cutting width. Mowing may take longer but it will be far easier as you manoeuvre around trees and flower beds. Cutting Height Electric lawn mowers are the most popular type for smaller gardens. They come with either a power cable or a rechargeable battery depending on the model you buy. Large gardens will need a motor with a bit more power (1500W plus), while small gardens can manage with around 1300W. Cutting Width

Okay so now we are really beginning to add gas powered lawn mowers to the list. Like the Toro hover mower described above, this lawn mower from Flymo is also powered by a Honda engine.

Small to medium sized gardens usually require a cable length of around 10m. Those with large gardens should be looking for a cable length of 12m or longer.
