The best lawnmowers in the UK to keep your grass in check, tested

A review of 10 electric lawnmowers has identified top models for various needs, with the Makita DLM432PT2 named the best overall and best cordless option [1]. The test, which evaluated mowers from nine manufacturers, also selected the Einhell GC-EM 1600/37 as the best budget model and the Worx WG737E as the best value cordless mower, ideal for small gardens [1]. For those needing assistance, the Mountfield SP185 Li kit was deemed the best self-propelled mower, while the Husqvarna Automower 305E Nera was named the best robot lawnmower [1]. Performance specifics were noted: the Worx WG737E has a 37cm cutting width, a 40l grass capacity, and its battery lasted 50 minutes and 54 seconds on test, taking over four hours to recharge [1]. The self-propelled Mountfield SP185 Li kit weighs 25kg, has a 46cm cutting width and a 60l grass box, but its battery lasted just under 25 minutes, recharging in about an hour and 24 minutes [1]. The author conducted tests on a recently cleared garden plot, timing battery life and charge cycles while also measuring noise levels and cutting performance [1]. All tested mowers were loaned by manufacturers and will be returned or donated to the British Heart Foundation [1].
