Our verdict
The bottom line
Murray's budget cordless. Performs the job for a small flat lawn but the battery is the entire risk — Murray 40V packs have no resale value and limited spares. Outclassed by the Greenworks G24X2 at the same price.

Buying second-hand
Used-market tip
£45–90 used. Battery health is the entire game — demand a 20-minute runtime test. Murray 40V replacement batteries are rare; budget for a host-of-tools change if the pack dies. Plastic deck cracks at the wheel mounts.
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.
