Our verdict
A specialist tool for buyers who never bag clippings. If you mulch religiously and accept that mulching needs short, dry grass, this is dramatically faster than a collect-and-empty rotary. For most British lawns, the bag is more useful than the mulch-only convenience.
Pros & cons
Pros
- Mulching-only design = no bag emptying ever
- Self-propelled at sub-£400
- Stiga engine reliability
- 48cm cut covers ground efficiently
Cons
- No collection — useless for first cut of spring
- No rear roller
- Mulch-only specialist won't suit everyone

Buying second-hand
£120–240 used. Specialist mowers have a smaller pool of buyers — bargains appear. Stiga engine same checks. Mulch deck design means more grass build-up — flip and clean before judging. Anyone bagging on it has bypassed the mulch design and may have damaged the underdeck.
