Our verdict
A no-frills hover mower for small lawns and awkward shapes. It does not collect, so you either rake up or let fine clippings fall, and the cut height tops out low. For the money it is a sensible buy if you have a compact garden and do not mind the cable.
Pros & cons
Pros
- Very light at 7.6kg
- Floats so easy on uneven ground
- Cheap to buy
- Folds and wall-mounts for storage
Cons
- No grass collection, leaves clippings
- Low maximum cut height of 30mm
- Corded, so range limited by cable

Buying second-hand
Hover mowers wear at the fan and skirt, so check the underside for cracks. Around £45 to £55 used is fair given how cheap they are new.
