Einhell GC-HM 400 Hand Push Lawnmower -- Manual Lawn-Mower With 40cm Cutting Width, 27L Grass Box, 4 Cutting Height Levels -- Walk-Behind Lawn Mower For Small Gardens

I don't normally write reviews unless it's crap or outstanding and I'm pleased to say I loved it. I've had many rotary electric over the years and my Flymo Multimo 360 (Mulcher) died after 7 years.I watched YouTube videos to find out which cheap model to replace and I came across manual mowers.So after 2 days of research I decided to buy this model and was shockingly surprised how good it was.As you can see from the pics I cut the back lawn in less than 15mins, my son who hates cutting the grass wanted to try. It was so easy to cut and so smooth. The grass was cut on Sunday with the Flymo and was was getting long. The Flymo was always set to #4 which was about 3inches...this mowers highest setting was 38mm that's about 1.5inch and gave a good cut. I did go over it twice as I wanted to mulch the clipping...I've never bagged as mulching is far better and healthier as long as you keep on top of it.My lawn looks so good that I can play golf on it lol...beautiful scissor cut action and will reduce grass turning brown due to torn grass from a rotary blade.I suffer from back pain and have had an operation so was worried about how much effort it would require...the Flymo was heavy and would take me upto 1 hour to cut...had to stop so many times due to the power cord...the Einhell is so light and easy to push...no cord...no electricity...no petrol...just a little push and on you go.I had a little trouble to assemble it as the instructions weren't as clear...took me about 20mins to assemble it. Looks very smart and a modern look which is cool. My only worry is when it needs sharpening...I've seen kits that are available but I doubt I'll need it anytime soon.It you're not sure it only costs £70 which is way cheaper than a good rotary mower.Finally all I can say is...I love it!!! Will never buy rotary again. I need to try it on wet grass though but I think it can handle it.My cheapest mower and favourite by far.

One of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Great product and makes life so much easier.Use to hate the chew of getting the electric mower out with extension leads etc. not any more. So practical and convenient. And actually cuts great, despite some of the reviews I’ve read.Don’t get me wrong, that first cut of the year, where the grass is over grown will require my electric mower. But keeping on top of it every week or so is so easy.The instructions weren’t the easiest to follow and putting together was a lot harder than it needed to be.Would have been a 5 star as I love this push mower. But the handles simply attach to the base of the mower by clicking over the hooks on the inside. The handles on mine aren’t far enough apart so kept coming off on one end. Very frustrating and nearly sent it back. But love the product. So spent time trying to gently bend the bars further apart so they don’t come lose. Read reviews where some have had this issue but most haven’t, so not sure why that’s normally the case.Overall a great product, highly recommend. So convenient, easy to push, practical and of course energy efficient.

Excellent lawnmower. I wanted something light to mow my lawns as they’re on clay and my old one ceased up with the clay as it was too heavy. This is a dream to use and cuts exceptionally well. I don’t use the bag as I’ve not got much grass and there’s never a lot to collect anyway. Folds away nicely in my shed too.

Purchased this mower to act as a replacement whilst my petrol mower is being serviced. Took about 15 minutes to asemble (Tip: connect the lower section of the handle first) and once done I mowed the grass with fantastic results. As someone else has said, the grass collection bag is rubbish so I didn't even bother with it. However, the blades cut the grass so fine that it pays to just let the cuttings land and feed the lawn.It's obviously slightly more strenuous than a mower that drives itself but it's probably a good workout if you want to do a little exercise! Overall I am extremely happy with this purchase and I would recommend it. No nonsense - no petrol - no electric - no batteries to charge - no cables and easy to carry and store.

Positives - easy to assemble and the body of the mower feels reasonably solid. Adjusting the cutting height is straightforward. Cuts the grass beautifully.Negatives: - the handle is lightweight steel and flexes too much when using the mower. I'm not convinced it will last very long. Grass collection box is an absolute joke as it's far too flimsy and fiddly. Most of the grass misses so you have to rake it up anyway.

I bought this to reduce the hassle of getting my corded mower out of the shed and to allow me to mow the lawn in my lunch break when working at home.The good:No leads to uncoil/recoil at start and end.Relatively easy to put together - a little bit of head scratching, but nothing serious.Mows well - as I guess it should when new.No need to manage a trailing lead and extension while mowing - which makes things quicker.There's a bit of resistance - I'm getting marginally more exercise than a brief walk.It's wide - so the mow is completed with fewer traversals (surprised at the difference it made)Not expensive - compared to going down the battery-powered cordless route.The badThe grass box is sooooo fiddly to disengage mid mow.ConclusionThe fiddly design of the grass box means I still use my corded mower - hence the 1 star overall.There are push mowers with a more easily operated grass box (I used to have a bosch one that was really easy to use)Have a look at other options before you consider this.
