Our verdict
The bottom line
A good first mower for a postage-stamp lawn. If your lawn is over 50m², look elsewhere. Disposable but fine for the price.

Buying second-hand
Used-market tip
£10–30 used. Honestly, just buy new for £69 unless you find one for £20. Check the cable and motor noise. No serviceable parts — it either runs or it does not.
Where to look: Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree are usually 20–30% cheaper than eBay UK for petrol mowers because most sellers want local pickup. eBay tends to win on cordless and electric (lighter, easier to ship). Always insist on a starting demonstration before paying.
