Our verdict
The thinking person's alternative to a Honda HRX. Twin-clip blade actually does what Stiga claims and the rear roller stripes well. Fair value new, good value used.

- Rear roller for stripes
- 70L grass box rare at this price
- Stiga build quality
Cons

Buying second-hand
£240–340 is fair used. Twin-clip blade is the differentiator — make sure it is intact and not bent (a £35 part). Rear roller bearings should turn smoothly. Stiga share parts with Mountfield so service is straightforward at any Stiga or Mountfield dealer.
